Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has shot himself in the foot with comments relating to a new Samus Aran Metroid game.
"Look, we know that the fans want a straight Samus Aran game."
What comes next is where Fils-Aime made his blunder.
"We also know that the best way to launch a game like that is to surprise and delight them, to give them a launch date, in an environment like this let them play it vs. what other companies do which is to announce a project that you may not see for five, six years. It's just not the way we do things."
Hang on a minute, Reggie. A new Legend of Zelda game for Wii U was announced way back in January 2013.
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.
Everytime these guys open their mouths they dig themselves a bigger hole
Please understand
If they do not want to show Zelda, it is up to them. Who cares. Nintendo has been the top publisher 3 years in a row. They have earned to do what they want with the software
N showed X, Zelda, and others as well las year that were over a year away. Hell X, was almost as big of a deal as Zelda.
Don't forget Xenoblade as another example. That was announced ages ago.
