Farewell to the man, Reggie Fils-Aime.

April 15th, 2019 marked the last day as Nintendo of America President for Reggie Fils-Aime. Originally a Pizza Hut executive, Reggie took the stage at Nintendo’s E3 press conference in 2004. We want to take a look back at some of the highlights of Nintendo’s former president over the last 15 years of his tenure at Nintendo.

Reggie’s Best Moments.

Debuting with the announcement of Nintendo DS, Reggie’s first appearance at a Nintendo event would become the staple of every Nintendo feature at E3. Introducing new systems, games, and guiding Nintendo fans through the Directs, he created a presence of a serious boss with a humorous, fun-loving side.

No matter what the occasion was, Reggie was always there to light up the crowd. His inclusion in Smash-related events prompted people to even ask for him to appear as a playable character. While Nintendo had other plans, they weren’t without answering the demand in the way that captivated the audience.

Reggie would go onto appear in various videos to include collaborating with featured animation projects. Among these included Robot Chicken. He also appeared as a Muppet!

Reggie would also collaborate with Mega64, a YouTube channel. It’s not every day a major CEO of the world’s largest gaming company takes time to film videos for fun and make the people laugh. However, this image made him a likable, larger-than-life personality.

Behind the scenes, Reggie became President of Nintendo of America. He drove sales and marketing to help Nintendo’s systems succeed internationally. But to the viewers, Reggie was the driving force and persona, the face of Nintendo. As a result, he made us eager to watch the upcoming games.

Finally, on behalf of gamers everywhere, we want to thank Reggie Fils-Aime for his service to Nintendo. 15 years as the man. While now succeeded by Doug Bowser, Nintendo’s past, present, and future all shine brightly with the legacy left behind. Also, if you want to follow him, you can keep up with the former president on his official Twitter account!
