Splatoon 3 was the top moment in this direct by *FAR*

“On my business card, I am a corporate president. In my mind, I am a game developer. But in my heart, I am a gamer.” - Mr. Iwata "My name is Reggie. I'm about kickin' ass, I'm about takin' names, and we're about makin' games." Reggie Fils-Aime

I have been attempting to respond to a comment here and it keeps getting deleted. What gives?

One of the best interior level design I've ever seen in games.

I need a Coheed COD Zombies song. They'd be perfect for it.

"Its like everything is falling apart and no one cares." Very much mirroring thr state of the world right now.

I can't say I've followed Nintendo a whole lot post-Gamecube generation. What's happened since that's got people so disappointed? Have things gotten any better in 2024? I can at least say I'm happy about their stance on not using AI and continuing to rely on human talent for making their games.

Boring Ash, killed the show.

Without Reggie and Iwata Nintendo's humanity is starting to fade away, full corpo is taking over and will be like this for a while, I personally do not support them anymore the amount of sins they have committed against the gaming community are too many and of malicious intent.

If literally everybody who has hated on this game would watch this then at very least they'd respect the game even if they don't personally enjoy the gameplay. I love it and even they couldn't deny how wholesome and deep it is and that it's not that it DOESN'T make any sense... It's that they dont understand it because it makes too much sense once it clicks and it's not familiar to us nowadays having to work so hard to get to the center of a game's plot and meaning. Heck it's not familiar to us to have a game that even has a meaning at all. When the interviewer asked if he ever considered making it more straightforward I realized that it's just like the game where it's about the journey from A to B and not B itself that makes the meaning of the plot so enrichening. The frustration and confusion you feel when you first play it and push to get to the point where you understand atleast most of it mostly dissipates and the game cleverly dripfeeds files and such that you could easily miss and overlook but every single one I went through it started to slowly dawn on me and wow. I am so ready for 2. It's fun for me in gameplay too as i enjoy the feeling of gearing up, mapping a path, and overcoming obstacles in clever ways to maintain my packages. It can go from feeling slow when I'm just walking and listening to nature to feeling like I can't even blink. I'm biking in the rain and come across a BT area, leave the packages on my bike, sneaking through to clear out a path through them with some grenades, get on my bike and continue my journey. Just after that part though where my heart was beating so hard and I myself was holding my breath almost as I held R1 for Sam to do the same I come across a large overhang off a rock face where i park my bike under, climb off, nap, eat, drink, pee, and patch my gear/packages while I'm waiting for the rain to stop. The game does a great job of making Sam feel so real because the pacing and diffference between the quiet and heart racing moments is so well done. Eventually you welcome the quiet and peace of just walking or riding a motorcycle and I myself never once wanted the game to be anything other than what it is.

Yeah, the corporate side of Nintendo lost its soul with the departures of Iwata and Reggie.

Bro, at least link his Twitch

Reggie was the best president Nintendo ever had. Doug Bowser, on the other hand, just plain sucks running it!

Man, never for a second I thought of Reggie as black

reggie was literally in charge while contractors were seperated from "real" workers and he apparantely snarled at a contractor for giving him a smile and a nod so he's just trying to act better

This is a bittersweet story given that EG is no longer an organization and their legacy is related to one of the league's brightest prodigies being burned out/unable to play/retiring from the sport. Still fundamentally interesting to hear their approach to team building.

Reggie...i would seriously want to know if in big game companies how a programmer and creative directions union would help dev teams? I think gaming is like Hollywood where the important guys who sacrifice the most behind the scenes get screwed. Cogs in the wheel that are just as if not more important than the board (borg) members. VAMPIRE CANNIBLES WHO DESTROY CREATIVITY WITH THEIR POMPUS ATTITUDES!

Yea dough bowser ruined nintendo

They race-swapping the Regginator now?

WHAT THE F*CK!? ALL I WANT TO DO IS PLAY WITH MY FRIEND WHO BOUGHT THE GAME ON STEAM! I DONT WANT TO BUY THE GAME AGAIN AND LOSE HUNDREDS OF HOURS OF PROGRESS! BUT THE a**HOLES "DONT WANT TO SLOW DOWN UPDATES"!

I miss this dude

and it's still better than the most recent cod game...

Jimbo killed xbot and know what good games means

Dude is full of it

Owlboy has a beautiful title screen. It has a cozy feel

corona virus? ya'll mean the wuhan virus?

PLAY A SONG IN THE NEW LEGEND OF ZELDA MOVIE!! THAT WOULD NE AMAZEBALLS!

Reggie was too good for Nintendo ;(

He is a genius!

I see Jennifer and Ali are good friends with good chemistry, too :)

This video is a part of History now.

God damn I miss Reggie. I was a 3DS Wii U kid so I wasn’t really there during his peak but I still miss him so badly. He just seemed like the kinda guy who walked into the office and everyone smiled. Along with Iwata. Iwata was always putting in the extra mile, taking his pay loss instead of deducting others pay, he spoke in English in the directs, while he primarily spoke Japanese. I miss them both, and I really hope no others like Miyamoto, or Itoi ever have to leave us :(

he is a big big star i have tattoo in my neck in his nane

Gaystation is dead 😂😂

Doug Bowser should be in charge of the perception of the company in the west and let's be honest, I think we're all starting to hate Nintendo now. Hope Doug gets kicked out of office because he's so out of touch it's crazy.

When it was reggie and Mr iwata leading both nintendo of america and japan respectively , this was nintendo in its absolute prime and its so clear to me their golden days have long since ended. Nintendo doesnt care enough about its staff anymore (far as americas concerned) and cares even less about their customers and fans. Yes their first party games for the most part are still solid, Nintendo has not been the same since iwata passed away and reggie retired, and i dont think that nintendo will ever return.

0:18 I’m not going to accuse the man of lying, but this immediate “I haven’t worked there in 3 years” statement makes me believe his only concern is to put distance between the controversy and his business reputation. He may be a silly Nintendo-guy to the general public, but we don’t know “who he is” personally. This could’ve all been the norm at Nintendo for decades and Reggie now has the chance to claim plausible deniability.

We love u reggie

His body is ready

i miss reggie so much too much

…Wait, he’s black?!

This seems like a fitting game for ambitious politicians, committing crimes and then convincing the audience you have the best intentions by lying through your teeth!

Pas mal la vidéo 🥰🥰

a lot of yall missed the point of him bringing up Blackness but... Not surprised. Yall don't come from where Reggie comes from. ANd In say this as a Black man also in corporate.

He looks more biracial than he does black

Love both of your lists. Brotherhood is my number 1 but i love the fact that u both have valhalla in your top 6

Nintendo has never been the same. Pretty 💩 now.

Zebiii

You know it’s bad when Reggienator speaks out.

What if video games have always been super short and easy to beat? About 10-20 minutes long. Collectables were always super common and obtainable(even Mythical Pokemon and cat AC Villagers)? Had laws forced companies to make games that way. Imagine growing up in that parallel reality with altered memories, experiences, and POVs.
