In a bold statement today, Reggie Fils-Aime said that he 'gave up' on understanding why the gaming media reports what they report when it comes to Nintendo news. He made this statement in regards to the numerous reports that Nintendo wouldn't be at E3 just because they weren't holding a traditional conference.
Show organizers ReedPop and Penny Arcade announced that PAX West 2023 will have a keynote speaker famous within the gaming industry.
Reggie is actually a creative marketing manager. He is the real deal. I think the guy might even be above average in the sales department. He got people to accept cheaply made products for extremely high prices and not only accept the situation but to defend him in a way to make sure their favorite sales manager gets rich, and on top of all of this, he kept the pop-culture train rolling. The dude is a true hustler.
Recent stats show that VR will be niche for years to come. Here's why VR gaming shouldn't be afraid to be niche.
My wife who generally hates games has taken over my PS5 for last couple days to play PSVR2 when she is home . Now I have to go get another PS5 at least .
From VGC: "Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé has cautioned fans not to expect further releases in the Earthbound series in the near future.
Mother – or Earthbound, as it’s known in the West – saw its third instalment released on the Game Boy Advance in Japan over 15 years ago, but despite persistent requests from fan groups it has never received an official English release.
The Earthbound series received renewed attention in February after Nintendo announced that both Earthbound and its predecessor Earthbound Beginnings (aka Mother) would be added to Switch Online’s SNES and NES apps."
He would happily suggest buying a NFT of Ness though. Thank God he is a semi-retired mouthpiece.
Ah, I feel sorry for him. Poor Nintendo.
I understand one half of this comment and mindset... on the other hand... Nintendo seems to have a huge blindness problem as of late. Not caring what media and consumers who hear and listen to media is a massive Fail comment.
Nintendo! You have to listen. And by the way... I was looking forward to Wind Waker... but you didn't even remodel or re-texture anything. An HD version? Remapping controls and adding light bloom is not HD remake IMO.
N64 was my last Nintendo console and doubt i'll buy another long as things keep on this route

For now yes. Doesn't really matter tho if Wii U never really takes off. Worst case it will be like the Cube, sell 20-30 million units and make Nintendo massive profits and they'll just keep on making good first party games for a long time. I can live with that. Also, I think the Xbox One is going to fare just as badly as Wii U, if not worse, for being expensive and anti-consumer. Some people may opt for PS4 @ $400 over Wii U but very few will opt for $500 Xbox One over Wii U, PS4 or any other console.
Nintendo isn't the only company affected by the so called 'reporting' done by 'journalists'. Most of the reporting is fueled by bias, or money these days. There are, of course, exceptions to the rule and these exceptions will keep gaming journalism (or journalism in general) alive.
