>Reggie was responsible for convincing Nintendo's board to package Wii Sports for free as an introduction to the technology and for casual audiencesMore than Iwata ever did
>>745183579>Responsible for the US not getting Disaster: Day of Crisis
>>745183579Corpo suit a shit
>>745183579did he die or something???
>>745183579My body will never be ready again.
>>745183579This turd cared less about videogames then Jim Ryan.How did the Wii end up having less exclusives than the PS3 despite selling more for a huge profit and being easy to develop for?This guy actively hated your man children asses but sponsored shills and advertisements instead of exclusives since it was cheaper.PS3 had more exclusives.A shitload of Xbox/PS3 exclusives.Better graphics.He hated you. Didn't even import Zangeki no Reginleiv.Yeah no, sponsor some fucking exclusives, cheapskates made so much money off their refurbished gamecube and forced $50 shovelware that was included then sent out flying monkey shills on the internet to pretend they had more games instead of just making them.
>>745185153Reggie was also responsible for a huge amount of RPGs and "too Japanese" games not getting brought over, most infamously Mother 3 (which he seemed to have some particular specific hatred for) and Xenoblade (which NoE picked up for English localization because NoA rejected it, Xenoblade is now a pillar of Nintendo and the YEHHHHH ROIYN TOIME dub is a charm point)
>>745185738He returned home to play Animal Crossing New Leaf on his Nintendo 3DS.
>>745186965This. Memes aside, Reggie was actively trying to make Nintendo less Japanese.
I thought my dream was peace but it was actually console warring. I miss those days.
>>745186965Best vidya hag
Despite the tendie cult of personality built around this guy he was an Asshole
>>745187067Reggie's actually kind of odd, when you look at his Nintendo career from an eagle-eye he did more harm than good despite making a couple of dynamite choices like the infamous Wii Sports pack-in. NoA Treehouse localization getting really dogshit and memey was his direct influence, for example.
>>745186965He was doing the lord's work. Anime has fully contaminated Nintendo's games. Back in the day nintendo games had more broad appeal and many people had no idea they were made in Japan.
Was Reggie endorsing this bootleg N64 proof he was forced to retire? Considering his position it should be the most obvious thing to him that Nintendo would not be okay with this.
>>745187340>and many people had no idea they were made in Japan.
>>745183579He wouldn't have put up with charging a fee to play Switch 1 games on the Switch 2.>>745187340>I had no idea they were made in Japan.Fixed that for you
>>745187340This is some Andrew Dobson level retardation.
I don't understand why Reggie was so active in making sure Japanese games Didn't get released in the US. To me, the more games the better
>>745186965>most infamously Mother 3 (which he seemed to have some particular specific hatred for)wtf I love Reggie now?!
>>745187514>>745187678>>745188062You're live in a bubble if you really believe the average normalfag was aware where their video games were made.
>>745183579My body is reggie.
>>745188119Because he wanted the dudebro audience that was being catered too by Sony and Microsoft at the time and felt that the Japanese culture of endless sequels and no new IPs was stagnating Nintendos business
for me, it's bill trinen
>>745188243>what is Nintendo Power>what is japanimation
>>745188243Nobody saw names like Toyota, Nintendo, Hitachi and Mitsubishi and thought they were american, you fucking twat
>>745188119Because Japanese were hardcore and he literally wanted that market to die and have Nintendo become a casualized money making engine, saw nerdy Japanese games as a tumor needing to be excised. It wasn't that he thought the games wouldn't sell well, it was more like a killing strike against the audience he felt hurt Nintendo's image.Like there's no way anyone would realistically think Xenoblade/Zangeki no Reginleiv would sell like shit, it was purely a spite move and an attempt to shape the market for ideological reasons.
>>745188317>>745188552He was chasing trends. Japanese games will be what survives the upcoming crash
>>745183579>JRPG ARE LA...BAD!!!!They needed to kick out him sooner
>>745188552Xenoblade is casual as fuck. Not sure what you are yapping about.
>Muhh hardcore gamers REE REEE REE>MADE THE N64 and gamecube fail! N-no it wasn't our shitty hardware choices or the three way market we ended up conceding anyways with the Switch>Must have revenge>Must create permanent culture among NA/JP to ensure Nintendo makes games nerds and males would despise>Holy shiet, a grown man playing videogames, shamefur! >You must give Nintendo money but not enjoy videogames!>Oh my kami, Nintendo profits dropped 0.5% this month, REEE HARDCORE GAMERS, quick expand the market resurrect the dead, we'll get rid of males and invite fossilized grannies to play our games.
>>745188934>>745189068Smelled like nerd shit to Nintendo, until the WiiU made them wail.
>>745183579his last name sounds like an Italian pasta dish you get down in new york
>>745186965>>745187067Reggie was trying very hard to make Nintendo appealing to soccer moms, to lock them in as the "safe for kids" console compared to the shooter-heavy teen focused Xbox and Sony demographic. It's frustrating, but he wasn't just being a stick in the mud and in the long run he absolutely succeeded and arguably did most of the foundational work to leave Nintendo dominating the modern console market. He was a corpo suit but he was actually good at accomplishing his goals and securing an extremely profitable demographic.
>>745183579>We almost missed out on Xenokino and other JRPGS because of himGlad he's gone, all he was good for was memes.
>>745188119He wanted Nintendo to appeal to midwestern moms with credit cards who didn't want little timmy playing shooter games. He succeeded. Now Nintendo essentially owns the under 16 demographic and prints money while Sony and MS are flailing trying to draw blood from a stone because their 16-25 demographic is flat broke and their boomer parents don't give them shit anymore.
>>745189527He was also good at stuffing localizations full of memes and not having anything but those surface-level soccer mom games that failed to retain the audience he cultivated after there was nothing deeper for them
>>745189712Last I checked Nintendo is literally the only console that still has anything resembling a "loyal fanbase" and parents buying switches for their kids is shoveling money into their bank account but sure, you do you
>>745189843>and parents buying switches for their kids is shoveling money into their bank accountWhat the fuck does this even mean
>>745187067>Nintendo less Japanese.As a Fire Emblem fan, they already are.
>>745189920owing reggie's handling of NoA to the switch and switch 2's success regardless of how little sense that makes, especially considering nintendo changing their policies back to basically pre-reggie as soon as reggie left
>>745189623Xenoblade was brought to America while Reggie was still in the company so I don't think he was against it.
>>745183579Yep. Japanese companies need non-Japanese to break through the layers of deference, non-confrontation and bullshit. The token American is practically an established tactic.The alternative is that you get people like Miyamoto dominating the business and sabotaging everyone else to remain on top.>>745187396Maybe, but piracy and emulation remains an excellent marketing tool, regardless of Japanese autism.>>745189843The success of the Switch was mostly due to its very concurrent emulation and piracy scene, otherwise the Switch 2 would not be such a massive step down.
Based reggie dabbing on the xenotrannies, that series is abysmal dogshit and should have stayed on the wii without leaving japan
>>745183579He put Miyamoto in his place and knew how to do business which is why Iwata chose him. He was based.
>>745189527It was something that worked for the Wii, but absolutely did not work after that. Casual people got confused about what the Wii U was supposed to be and the Kinect stole a lot of that audience because why have two systems when you can have just the Xbox for hardcore and casual gamers living in the same house?
>>745183579>The game is fun. If it's not fun, why bother?
>>745190183>Based reggie dabbing on the xenotrannies,"based" retard shitting on a golden goose because the thought of japanese games makes his skin crawl while serving as president for the american branch of a japanese company
>>745187396>even Conker's Bad Fur Day!I knew he had good taste.
>>745190123operation rainfall is a big part of why xenoblade got released in america
>>745187340>Back in the day nintendo games had more broad appeal and many people had no idea they were made in Japan.Nintendo released the very first anime dating sim on Famicom (technially FDS). You just didnt know nintendo was like that because they hid it from you.
>>745183579
>>745183579Reggie was a weird asshole who only knew how to talk in corpo speak. I have no idea why people worship the guy. They can only point to ONE thing he did, and even then that was just a business descision, NOT some sort of act of selfess generosity
