What would he be saying right now if he was still head of NoA?
What would he be saying right now if he was still head of NoA?
I have to go play Animal Crossing: New Leaf on my Nintendo 3DS
real answer? he'd say something like
"hey that's a great question for [scapegoat]"
At most we would be getting the Welcome Tour for free. Otherwise he would be saying tone deaf, stupid things about the $80 game prices
Probably heavy drinking while writing his career eulogy due to the hand he's been dealt since there's no Iwata to buffer things at this point in time.
Probably the same thing that Doug Bowser said recently. I agree that the tech demo should be included with the console but you have to remember that the 3DS still launched at $250 with Reggie in the company.
He would be saying something like "what's wrong with you?" or "play the game."
Why would it be any different?
BILL!?
He would be saying roughly the same stuff but he has enough of a silver tongue to get people to accept it unlike the charisma void known as Doug Bowser. People thinking Reggie would have been some savior that would have stopped Nintendo from doing all of this is fucking hilarious.
Reggie was the reason Wii Sports was a pack-in game, anon
People like Ratman- I mean Miyamoto didn't want it to be.
Reggie: we shouldn’t bring Xenoblade to the west, it will flop
Gamers: wow I can’t believe Reggie said this, what an idiot! He doesn’t know what he’s talking about
Meanwhile Xenoblade does nothing but flop every time, XBC 3 didn’t even get over 2 million sales despite all the shilling on directs. Reggie won
This is part of what I mean about this shit being hilarious. Reggie doing one good thing surrounded by a spew of bad decisions in his run makes people think he would have stopped any of this shit when in the end he still has to mostly follow NoJ's orders. Him aggressively pushing for Wii Sports doesn't mean he could have convinced Nintendo not to do $80 games or be excessively greedy this gen. Like said, Reggie's era still had the fucking $250 3DS.
Monolith saved Zelda, Reggie lost.
He would say, "Fuck that nigga Trump, we ballin'".
He'd be PRing a hell of a lot better than the current head pulling an xbone. Reggie if nothing else had charisma with how he presented himself that Doug Bowser has none of.
But he also needed Iwata who was the deciding factor on making some smart decisions like packing in wii sports so I'm not sure how much he could've salvaged
I wonder if he saw the writing on the wall with the change in leadership with Nintendo and bailed
Anything that isnt bing bing wahoo tends to flop on Nintendo consoles, this isn't anything new. Soon enough it'll just be bingslop and nothing else from Nintendo.
You're gonna buy it and you'll suck on this
Something like that.
What the fuck is wrong with you slant eyed yellow nip monkeys? Also, get the fuck out of here, you bald cunt.
What the hell does NoA even do nowadays outside of PR? All Nintendo games are just global releases nowadays with the same script and 0 changes
go buy an xbox instead, lol
They saved Zelda by making a big empty map lol okay
I miss this nigga so bad.
Welcome Tour would be free
The Wheel Chair game would likely be free with NSO
We likely would've had Gamecube games available on Switch 1 at a earlier point, albeit in either a worse state emulation wise, or through 3D All Stars Super Mario Sunshine styled ports that cost $40 each
Decent chance he would've pushed for a Mother 3 localization by this point on NSO GBA for meme points, on the flip side it's possible he would've never allowed untranslated games to appear on the service
Reggie would still be fumbling the price tag on games though, possibly better, possibly worse.
You mean they killed Zelda and skinned it for a new IP.
The money printer doesn't care about your feelings
le Reggie hero worship
He made like two good calls ever, and spent years blocking good Japanese games from getting overseas releases.
He said no to Disaster Day of Crisis, which is about the most "American market" game ever made, and would have probably been a decent cult success.
I'm not pretending he was "based". He was kind of a moron.
"$10 for a tech demo? Quit that shit, make it free, idiot"
You're right, but he's the kind of moron that can make the masses agree with him through charisma, which is what Nintendo needs right now.
He was a moron for not wanting to bring over shitty weeb games that would have sold like shit in 2011 and sell like shit now in 2025 since they are being localized and released in the west and no one is buying them?
developed by Monolith
I'm starting to think he just hates them.
"The game, is fun, the game, is a battle, if it's not fun, why bother? If it's not a battle, where's the fun?"
You heard him goy, work harder to afford fun games, that's part of the battle!
localized Disaster, Project Zero 2, all 3 Operation Rainfall games and made sure Project Zero 5 got a physical release.
My GOAT
People here love to complain and are neets who haven’t even held a corporate job to begin with. I’ll never understand the hate for western counterparts like Reggie and Retro Studios
ash ketchum figure
cringe
Maybe you weren't listening when Nintendo tried to keep Reggie on board for any and every reason and he still got up and left during the height of Nintnedo's success with the Nintendo Switch.
darunia figure
based
Reggie was right, the weeb games do suck and they don't sell.
"Hello, treehouse? Please keep censoring games"
Where is Bill at these days?
"Hello, treehouse? these shitty weeb games aren't selling make them less embarrassing"
It has always been confusing to me that Americans worship this pizza robot. He was barely 1 step above kammie dunaway in terms of charisma, he made a bunch of shitty decisions like blocking xenoblade from western release and was otherwise just a standard corporate nintendo shill.
He's way better at his job than a retarded EA exec but that's not a high bar to pass.
"Not my problem "
Maybe he would've told them that they shouldn't release Mario Kart at $80 and instead save the price increase to an actual 3D Mario or Zelda game. Pretty sure he could've wrangled them to make the switch $420 just so memes would override any other controversies.
He's been assimilated into being just another suit.
They are already censoring them even more since he left
shitty decisions like blocking xenoblade from western release
Yeah, so shitty, wow. By the way, can you tell me the total sales figures for Xenoblade Chronicles 3? Just curious
game never gets released in the west
western fans localize it for free and you get to play it free on an emulator with JP voices and an accurate script
Vs.
games releases in the west
it’s censored, it has awful amateur VA, it costs $60
Miyamoto would never allow free things, now that he's got Iwata out of the way
blocking xenoblade from western release
We need him now more than ever
I dunno what changed at Nintendo, before the mid-late 2000’s they would add free games as a bonus. Oh, gaijin buy Super Mario Brother on Gameboy Advance? We give originar Mario Bros for free. Oh Gaijin pray Animar Crossing? Okay you unrock NES games while praying. Oh gaijin pray Pokémon Sirver? We give him Kanto for free. Oh you buy Metroid Prime? Prease connect game boy to gamecube and get free downroad of originar metroid
This is true. Anons don't remember but he actually said the same thing about Wii U's price that NoA recently said about Switch 2's, that if you can't afford it you should keep playing Wii.
“What’s wrong with you?”
He's too busy running damage control for that GameStop stabbing
why did you morons vote for this orange retard?
console price will be reduced to $350 and games will be capped at $60, totk will be converted back to dlc and sold for $20, upgrades will be free instead of being "switch 2 editions"
That was Iwata, who worked his way up from a codemonkey. Reggie was always a pure businessman.
