I miss him like you wouldn't believe
Weebs hate him because of his dislike of anime swordsmen but he was completely right on a lot of things. The Wii would never have been a worldwide phenomenon if it hadn't shipped with Wii Sports
>>737940801fuck him dozens of games will never have an official translation because of this smug faggot, and now we have to choose between two different fan translation patches both of which are made by trans discord groups and include memes which are already out of date.
>>737940861Dude was pretty smart, he was a big pusher for demos with Pizza's at Pizza Hut.
>>737940801He didn't do anything though. He's just a corporate figurehead with no involvement with the product.
>>737940998this nigga made the bigfoot pizza. I would say that shit needs to come back, but all take out pizza restaurant quality is shit now anyway. make me some more pizzas, reggie-sama
>if the games not fun, why bother?
>>737941079He was an ambassador who understood how to market to western audiences. That was all his role was ever really supposed to be. it's not like nintendo of america is supposed to do anything in the software department.
>>737941147>drops a truthnuke>retires to be a family man before gaming becomes very retardedBased
>>737940801Reggie tried to keep JRPGs off the wii
>>737941318and he was right to do so, at least in the wii era
>>737940962Found the weab.
>>737940962blame bill trienen for that, he wants to fuck a dog
>>737941318And Disaster Day of Crisis for some reason.
>>737940962Have you tried just using... AI?
>>737940998God I miss actually going out to buy games as a kid and being able to try out demo kiosks
>>737941701uh... is reggie the reason why I got a demo disc from pizza hut with a crash bandicoot 3 and metal gear demo on it??
>>737940801https://files.catbox.moe/kkzkt1.mp4
>>737940861I'm not a weeb and he was useless. Wii would have still won without the pack in and the console would have been $50 cheaper like in Japan.
>>737941701Imagine this today, it would be just a ton of black kids on it all day and never leaving.
>>737941884What kind of shithole do you go to where there's only black kids in it? The places I went to usually had kids of differing races
>>737941884This still happened back then but it was soccer moms leaving their kids by them like it was some daycare. Shit pissed me off when I was working at Target at the time and the moms expected us the watch their kids.
>>737942043white people would take turns, black kids wouldn't. my mcdonalds had one of these with a gamecube and melee in it. I went to one of these once and there was a black kid who kept losing matches but refused to take turns even though he kept losing. it doesn't even take a few black kids for this to happen, just one really stubborn one to ruin it for everybody.
>>737942243>soccer moms leaving their kids by them like it was some daycareWas this a thing? I can not imagine my parents leaving me here while they leave. It's not a daycare, it's not the employee's responsibility to watch children.
>>737942243Reminds me of Toys R Us. It was literally a playground as a kid, tons of kids riding bikes around, or in those tiny convertible cars, playing games etc. It was chaos.
>>737941749Legitimately yes, he was a big pusher for a relationship with Sony to have demo discs with Pizza's.>>737942247>white people would take turns, black kids wouldn't.Gtfo of here with that bs, white kids, asian kids and black kids all had the ability to be nice and take turns, talk about video games and be friendly with each other or be a fucking asshole.
>>737942334Yeah, especially during the holiday seasons. Had a few moms get pissed at me and my manager because we didn't know were their kid ran off to. One time I had to threaten to call child protection services for child abandonment because one lady was being belligerent.
>>737942549This board is full of mexicans that worship whites like gods. Truly peculiar behavior, and somewhat humiliating at that when you stop to think about it.
>>737940801Why? He made everything worse.
>>737941318>Reggie tried to keep JRPGs off the wiiBecause anything too anime or japanese was extremely uncool in the late 00s to early 10s, this was the era of Halo, Call of Duty and Gears of War. Nintendo was one of the few companies who managed to avoid the ANIME YUCK label because they focused on scrimbo jimbos and games grandma can play, business wise it was the right move
>>737942247All kids are little shits and don't know how to take turns. Kek I would know because I was one of them.
>>737941791You’re in a special echelon of retardation if you genuinely believe that. The Wii was a massive powerhouse of a console because it was THE console for casuals and even fucking grandparents who got it specifically for the novelty of Wii Sports. If it wasn’t a pack-in, there would have been a very notable absence of this consumer base. Much smarter people than you have said this shit for years.
>>737942736frankly, I learned how to not be a shit because my cousin WAS one. we'd play GTA together and our agreement was that whenever someone dies, we switch off. he's die and then say "I didn't mean to do that, I get another turn". as though you ever do anything to intentionally lose your turn.
>>737941884No wonder my wife likes going there
My body is ready.
Whatever happened with Doug Bowser?
>>737944340He's Douging in his Bowser right now.
>>737941783>bundled Wii Sports with the Wii on launch in the Americas to the greatest nippon dismay>lowered the price of the gamecube>rebuilt trust across all branches of Nintendo>regained trust from NCL>made Nintendo DS a worldwide hit among all age groups
>>737944484I wish I were him.Bowser, not Doug
i didnt even know he was sick
>>737941701theres like 4000 demos you can play on steam RIGHT NOW and nobody ever does. demos sucked ass, its just the only thing you had to do
Is his memoir worth a read?
>>737944972There's an atmospheric difference between playing demos in a store as a kid, and being some old fart playing them at home.
>>737945073yeah. no one goes to stores to hang out either because it sucks ass, man
>>737944972As a kid it was huge, but yeah as an adult they're pointless. Also back then like the PS1 era, some of the demo discs had near enough full games on them. Like if it was a fighting game, you may as well be playing the full game. Suppose it didn't matter that much since everyone used to just chip the consoles.
>>737941701They still have demo kiosks at Target
>>737945005what, like movie bob?
>>737940801Everyone always mentions Xenoblade or Wii Sports but his connection with Geist and Project HAMMER are much more interesting.
>>737942243>Anon wants a high trust society>Gets mad when he is entrusted with the personal duties and sacrifices required of a high trust society
>>737940801At least he was a better meme source than that boring ass Bowser dude.
>>737948064You'd think a man named Bowser running Nintendo of America would lead to more memes
>>737945005The audio book was worth a listen.
>>737940801Reggie was awesome
