Dude has collected 600 korok seeds in BOTW...
It's more than most people on this forum (way more than me at least).
Yeah, he loves Nintendo games.
Reggie was one of the best execs in the business.
A keen gamer and a man passionate for the sheer fun and delight his company's products bring to the world.
He knew how to let his hair down and have fun. I always loved the banter between him and Geof Keighley at E3. The always used to rib each other slyly and it was very amusing to watch.
Dude went out on top, so I have the utmost respect for him.

Wow! I may have missed that, did that come from an interview with Reggie?
Just watch his farewell video to know this isn't true.
When was the last time an executive made a fun, memories filled farewell video for the company's fans?
The idea that someone should work till like age when they don't have to is bizarre. It's insane to me this is mainstream thought. Guy has an eight figure net worth, he can do whatever he wants. Why works anyone continue to work after accomplishing what he's accomplished when you can go out on top?
These statements are usually made by people who lack any basic business understanding whatsoever
I agree, the thought that one has to work as the purpose of life is worrying and sad, ideally we should do work that makes us happy and if we did that long enough to get by without and have a nice life then that's great and I'm genuinely happy for Reggie he managed both :)
Lmao, nah.
Reggie retired because he made fat stacks at Nintendo. He probably hates his job like most people and he has the luxury to have the ability to retire now, so he will.
There is near zero chance he left because he was waiting for someone else to just happen to walk in and be better than him when that could have taken anything from one month to twenty more years.
Well, in this case, they also:
- Failed to satisfy demand of amiibos, 3ds models, and classic consoles at launch
- Give the worst special edition of all games released so far, when compared to both Japan or Europe
- Also provide poor rewards in their fidelity program, they got rid of physical reward, while they still exist in Japan.
- Only bought 2 or 3 models of 3ds while Japan have dozens
- Decided to sell few 3ds models without chargers
- Weakened development of games in America, with retro, next level games and nst all bringing disappointing games regarding "audience expectations"
It's kinda ironic the points you bring saying "since the switch launch" when it's more like "since Doug came onboard".
Anyway, on topic, I wonder if Reggie would accept do a interview after leaving Nintendo. To this day that roward guy kept his mouth shut about his time as president, wondering if Reggie will do the same.
Well said.
I won't amass 8 figures in my life and will still retire much younger than Reggie. The freedom to spend your life doing whatever you want is more valuable than anything (other than health).
This
Doug Bowser has some big shoes to fill, but I'm sure he's up to the challenge. Either way, I'm glad that Reggie got to retire in good health & high spirits.
Yeah and he also said that he's done with the korok seeds, he doesn't want to search them all lol
Hoping there's some acknowledgement today, be it twitter or a youtube video. I know we got his send off already, but seeing him walk out of Nintendo of America at the end of the day or something, with the employees cheering him on, would be really cool to see.
He should do a parody of JD leaving scrubs, except its just everyone ignoring him, and bill tells him he is fired.
The most he might have is a retirement party. Bowser probably assumed all of his duties last week at the very latest.
"There are some motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane" - Reggie probably.
Considering that there's an animated Mario movie in the works @ illumination, i'd say go for it.
My favourite Reggie moment: when he revealed he spent more than 200 hours playing Dragon Quest IX on his DSi XL
"Hello, Pikachu. I'm here to talk to you about the Smash Bros. initiative."
I really hope that at his first company meeting as the head, Doug Bowser enters the meeting room with the Airship Theme from Mario 3 playing behind him.
I-I'm sorry...did he just get 147k followers (including me) in like 3 hours???
Wow, that is fucking disgusting lol.
Wow, that is fucking disgusting lol.
Yes, you're not wrong :)
woops my logic was hanging out. I'll just put that back in and zip up.
Sometimes we forget how quick time goes on. 15 years went through in a blink of an eye.
Thank you Reggie - following you and your conferences has truly been a lot, lot of fun!

Good thing that wasn't sculpted out of butter and covered with coconut.
