Craymen Edge Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 It should have been Wario who replaced him. At least he has experience of making games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HandsomeDead Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Wario is only in it for the coins. I'll miss the memes, but I dunno if he was actually a good president. I suppose he probably wasn't bad as I'm sure we would have heard about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as I could see he embodied everything wrong with Nintendo. Certainly every e3 he came across as evasive and contemptible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think blakey literally meant legend it’s a just phrase these days isn’t it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sly Reflex Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I was reading his wiki page to look into his background. He's been about hasn't he? I think he was involved in Raleigh bikes when I had one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hendo Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I would imagine he’s well liked because of the memes. You usually have executives who are good behind the scenes or lower tiered workers who are good with people, or charismatic. He’s a fairly rare executive who is both. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DANGERMAN Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 The Beastcast is funny about this today The memes were all I could put it down to too. I'm not suggesting he's a terrible person or anything, I just can't place what exactly he was responsible for at Nintendo. I get the love for Miyamoto and Iwata, there's stuff you can point to, with Reggie it just seems like that weird sports team support of a CEO, I couldn't tell you one thing good or bad that he was fully responsible for (I always assume that Japan is almost entirely in control of everything at Nintendo) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DisturbedSwan Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Pretty much what Hendo said @DANGERMAN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmmark Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 I guess you had to follow him and his antics and love his persona and really getting involved with all the silliness of the directs etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
