To be perfectly clear: Nintendo president Satoru Iwata didn't apologize.
"It was not an apology," said Reggie Fils-Aime. "It was not a statement about the content we're showing, essentially it was an 'I hear you' message."
The not-apology, the message, was a tweet sent out by Iwata seemingly in reaction to a tidal wave of negative online reaction to the company's E3 Nintendo Direct this week.
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.
Oh reggie. Lol.
stubborn as always.
they cant exept that they fucked this up this time. there is no spinning around try to convince people that these are the games we want. no, we want no 5$ metroid prime wannabe game that has nothing to do with metroid. no, we want no animal crossing which is essentially a mario party for ac amiibo. the wii u got nothing exciting we dont already new about. dont think we are stupid nintendo! we know that you know that the wii u is dead for you and all your resources go to 3ds and nx. be honest and dont try to sell us dogshit as it were a pott full of gold.
and this comes from a die hard nintendo fan who bought all your consoles and enjoys your games more then anthing. but right now im really pissed about your e3 showing and your inability to be in touch with your community.
I hear you Reggie.
And my message is that I did not buy a Wii U and won't buy one. You / Nintendo lost me a long while ago already and it is not looking like I will be your customer ever again.
Me / Many People
