"With a profitable quarter finally on the books after years of losses, all eyes are on Nintendo to see if it can do it again this holiday season.
If this is the start of a real comeback for the once-dominant Japanese gaming company, we won’t know for sure anytime soon, but Nintendo of America president and COO Reggie Fils-Aime is focused on the next three months right now. In a wide-ranging interview with Re/code, Fils-Aime explained what, exactly, Nintendo is up to these days and how it’s reacting to the changing gaming landscape.
The following interview has been edited for brevity and clarity."
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.
because the majority of people who buy nintendo products know Reggie....you're one of the most pathetic fanboys I've seen in a good while. Always ready to shit on everything non-Sony and when sony controller ports fuck up at EVO no one is allowed to report on it...just sad.
@Atarax
It's a compliment. I highlighted all the stuff he excelled at, which is more than most execs in gaming.
You know that I wasn't talking about your compliments about Reggie. I don't get how you don't get tired of constantly shitting on other platforms, shills like you is honestly why I don't visit this site anymore.

I'll just leave that here. My advice still stands.
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.
Reggies body is ready for the holidays. You go out there and kick *** and take names. :D
When do we get the Iwatabo's & Areggiebo's for use with the Wii U ?
Acutally an interesting interview and a good read.
Its sad how Sony and Microsoft praise all the other consoles in the market while Nintendo rep always says Choose me over the other guys because of our exclusives. Nintendo is all me, me, me thats why they are losing.
Reggie should have run for the Senate, he speaks like a politician, 80% BS and 20% crap. I prefer honest answers, like in the interviews with Phil Spencer and Shuhei Yoshida.
