how did reggie sign off on the horrible Wii U marketing?! what the fuck was he thinking?

If it were up to him Nintendo wouldn't bring anything other than Mario and Zelda overseas.

>>712518635 (OP)
I grew up with Nintendo during the Reggie Era, but I never understood how important he was until recently.
I am now conflicted on whether I should buy a Switch 2 as soon as possible, or wait a while.
I am 20.

>>712519073
Hot buttered popcorn, going to Pottery Barn Teen to try out a Wii U was a deal! I was a kid now and a squid now! I couldn't wait to get my hands on the New Controller™!

what an absolute retard

>>712519687
Wii U was a marketing misfire, it was Nintendo's Dreamcast in terms of first-party libraries. Part of the reason why the Switch was so massively successful in the early years is they could focus on Wii U ports to go with new Mario and Zelda.

Oh hey guys, I heard you're talking about vidya executives you miss.
Can I join?

>>712518635 (OP)
never cared for him but I can't believe he was the guy actually holding back nintendo from becoming what it is now back in the day.

>>712519165
You are delulu

>>712520130
In what way?

>>712518635 (OP)
I'm sorry i liked your public speaking Reggie, i had no idea how much of a problem you were for Nintendo. Fuck you for blocking all those great JRPGs from releasing in english for so long. I bet you still fucking seethe at the fact that Fire Emblem took off despite your best efforts to stop it.

>>712520293
>Reggie was the guy holding back shitty dating sim JRPGs/SRPGs
Damn this man was a king

>>712520293
did reggie really fuck with Fire Emblem? i know he hated xenoblade and mother 3 for some reason.

>>712519073
They were high on the Wii sales. Literally thought any retarded gimmick would work.

>>712520371
I'm making assumptions with no proof, but his history with JRPGs isn't great so i wouldn't be surprised if he was one of the reasons we never got New Mystery.

It's crazy that he shits on Nintendo so openly

>>712520418
He hates the idea if them doing better without him. Despite the fact they're doing better without him.

>be executive
>have a bit of charisma and stage presence
>beloved by gamers worldwide

>>712520371
I think he hated Earthbound. Like Mother 3 is almost understandable because it was a GBA gane post NintendoDS . But given they had translations for both games the fact they choose not to localise Mother 1 + 2 was just stupid.

>>712520605
is he seething now?

>>712518635 (OP)
Yeah, now is doing better than ever, fuck you Reggie

>>712518635 (OP)
The Switch was a lucky break
The Wii U and late 3DS era were not great either and NoA had a big hand in that

>>712521001
i feel like nobody wanted the 3ds to exist. It had to in order to fill the gap, and they needed to rise to the demand the PSP set forth. No sane person now can look back at the Zelda 3DS games and say "Yeah those are good games"

>>712521087
the 3d gimmick killed the system's power and made it too expensive. I remember getting a 2DS for cheap and liking it way more

>>712521087
>No sane person now can look back at the Zelda 3DS games and say "Yeah those are good games"
huh? A Link Between Worlds was good and the remake of OoT was good too. Majora's Mask remake was so-so.
The DS games on the other hand were all over the place

>>712518945
It's not zoomers, it's 35 year old sòyboys

>>712521087
the 3DS WAS a mistake. a more powerful DS without the 3D gimmick would've been a vastly better system, the 3DS release was so fucking bad with all the good 2D spirte based games evaporating into thin air as the 3D mandate got pushed out, and then every game ran like shit because doubling the rendering for 3D is hugely taxing for no real benefit.

>>712520772
You're missing the part where "having a bit of charisma and stage presence" is literally impossible for 99% of execs

>>712520005
>Wii U was a marketing misfire, it was Nintendo's Dreamcast in terms of first-party libraries
It was Nintendo's Saturn. Dreamcast had 3rd party support and a lot of games. Revisionist ignorant tendie piece of shit.

I specifically said "first-party libraries"; the Gamecube was Nintendo's Saturn btw

>>712519671

No, no they didn't. But keep shilling for free, retard

>>712520293
>great JRPGs
Oxymoron.

>>712518635 (OP)
He wasn't perfect, but genuinely he and Iwata were paramount at keeping Nintendo from being seen as an entirely evil company even when Nintendo kept pulling the dumb shit they kept pulling back then.

>>712519073
Everyone at Nintendo HQ was high off their own jenkem after the Wii's success.

>>712519001
>Zoomers was

I don't care about charismatic executives. The Switch generation was ten times better than the Wii and especially the Wii U ones in terms of game output. I'm not including the DS though, that's one of the best systems ever.

>>712520130
why do zoomers make up so many dogshit words? Speak like a human you fucking retard or go back to your discord

>>712518635 (OP)
crazy how hard he fought to include wii sports with the wii, and nintendo didn't learn shit from it

>>712522637
look at gramps over here

>>712522591
The Switch generation WAS the Wii U generation. The Switch was Odyssey, Ultimate, Animal Crossing, Splatoon 3, Kirby, and ToTK. What do you think filled the rest of the gaps for 6 years?

>>712522905
why

>>712522930
And Metroid Dread, the Fire Emblem games, the Pokémon games, the Xenoblade games, the Mario Party games, Luigi's Mansion 3, Pikmin 4, Bayonetta 3 and Origins, Astral Chain...

>>712523089
Most of those games had instalments on the 3DS, which was the same generation as the Wii U generation.

>>712518635 (OP)
all Nintendo has to do is put their execs in some shitty Muppet skits and redditors will fall head over heels in love with them

>>712523089
Pokemon and Luigi's Mansion 3 for sure. I'm just saying the library got a big boost from two of it's best-selling titles being deluxe DLC editions of Wii U titles alongside many, many ports.

>>712518635 (OP)
It's officially no longer OK when Nintendo does it.

>>712520773
Calling it now: there'll be one marketing mid manager at either Nintendo Europe or Nintendo of America who will push for a remaster/bundle of the Mother series for sympathy points in the public eye and also after seeing Deltarune success.

>>712523461
Pretty sure that the muppet skit was to hide the fact that Iwata was terminally sick and couldn't get on stage

>>712518796
I can't lie that was pretty epic wholesome 3000

>>712523875
>Pretty sure that the muppet skit was to hide the fact that Iwata was terminally sick and couldn't get on stage
Either way Nintendo did a lot of skits around that time, and I guarantee it's the only reason ANYBODY gives a single fuck about Reggie. And even Miyamoto. Guy is criticized for why Mario can't really go anywhere, yet every normie fell out of their chair when they found out the 70 year old man that didn't work on the game wasn't in the credits for MKW.
I sincerely believe if Nintendo started doing those sorts of skits again 99% of the reddit malders would get on board within a year.

/v/, snoys are making fun of our corporate friends again.........won't the mods do something??

>>712518635 (OP)
ok why did this idiot leave then

>>712524203
when you wholeheartedly shill the WiiU, a console that even most devoted nintendo faggots (who also spammed your IF IT'S NOT FUN WHY BOTHER meme everywhere on the internet like some Videogame Messiah) avoided, quitting your job is the most sensible thing to do

And he's surely made good business decisions since he left, right.....

Prease Undastandu

>>712524097
Shitwata almost canceled the DS, he's a hypocrite and had to be tardwrangled by the seniors of Nintedo. Don't really understand the cult behind him, everything after the GC was mediocre or straight up shit until the Switch came out

>>712522806
they did though, The Switch 2 has mario kart bundled with it. If anything the Wii was shittier because there wasn't a "don't buy Wii sports and save $50" version.

>>712518635 (OP)
Reggie wouldn't have allowed such a boring console to release in the US. He sure as hell wouldn't have charged $10 for Welcome Tour.

>>712518635 (OP)
I still dont forget how Iwata and him failed hard in the Wii U dark era
>but muh dead corpo suit
Fuck off

>>712525930
the wii bundle was also literally half the price

>>712525992
yeah, he would've charged $80 for welcome tour (and bundled it with a single joycon).

>>712526210
Not a pack in title. Doesn't count.

>>712526129
half the price, and about 1/20th as powerful a system.

>>712526249
neither is Welcome tour...

>>712518945
Zoomers play on PC. Only lvl 40 Millennials buy Nintendo shit.

>>712526210
Wasn't this made as a Wiimote pack-in made after he suggested Wii Sports came with the console in the west

>>712527796
I assume xe is talking about the DLC which was not released for previous gen console afaik.

>>712525930
it has a cheaper version with no games bundled, and a more expensive version with Mario Kart. All new in box Wiis came with Wii Sports

>>712519971
They really fucked up with the name but I just dont understand how retarded you have to be to not know a Wii and a Wii U are two different consoles. I was a fucking child and even I knew it was something new.

>>712527907
They stopped releasing updates for the previous gen too. They never got v2. Straight up said supporting such shitty hardware was just gimping them too much so they're dropping all support for it.

>>712527659
the switch can barely play it either

What schizos don't realise about Reggie is that he (and Iawata, and to some extent Miyamoto) served an incredibly important function of "humanizing" Nintendo to their audience. There HAS to be a consistent point of connection between a company and its customers or you end up with shit like YouTube, a multibillion dollar company that could be operated entirely by robots, no one knows. There is no exchange of meaningful information in a human capacity between YouTube as a company and its users. That's just one example, how about Valve? That's just gaben, who doesn't appear often anymore and is a billionaire geriatric, he doesn't care and doesn't have to. Sony? No one. Etc etc, and modern Nintendo is now the same. Who the fuck are these awkward weirdos who appear in the directs now? No one. And so the company just becomes another faceless entity filled with robots as far as we know, a wall goes up between us and them, and both sides stop hearing from the other in any human way.

>>712518945
The shitlennial projecting his failings onto zoomers...and being painfully unaware

>>712530556
>>712530558
More towards the Western end of Canada

I won't apologize for Reggie. I think he had some good ideas that brought Nintendo to many new households during the Wii era, but he also made plenty of bad decisions during and after that era. But it wasn't entirely his fault. The NoA president, including our Doug Bowser, has very little real power. The gooks in Japan still decide everything, and greed runs in their blood with a touch of xenophobia. Nobody hates Nintendo fans more than Nintendo

>>712530571
We really need to fucking destroy those walls and humiliate them in some fashion, because having these NPC corpo-bots run Nintendo will only do more harm than good in the long run. It maybe be just barely working currently with all the bullshit going around from both sides at war with each other, but we really should be battling the real enemy instead of one another.

>>712530571
Humanizing a company is a marketing poly. We don't need that. They provide a service and we choose to pay or not. Don't fall for the "relatable millionaires" trick

>>712518635 (OP)

>>712530707
Its so crazy how I can easily identify if a post was written by a seething chink, gook, or Pilipino SEA nigger now.

>>712530779
It's not exclusively a marketing ploy. Points of real contact between companies and customers - if the company is willing to listen to them - can create better situations for both the company and the customer. So much of what's wrong with the vidya industry in particular, but a ton of others too, is how totally out of touch the suits who make all these fucktarded decisions are. A direct line between customer and these suits that actually understands both sides and isn't just a fucking AI chat bot or streetshitting poojeet insisting you'll get the karkland can make ALL the difference. And fuck, is it so wrong to want to walk back some of the depersonalisation of the last decade? People are more disconnected than ever because suits think human connections are replaceable with algorithms.

His decisions were his fault, Nintendo of Europe had its own leadership and didn't run into any of the issues Reggie created.

>>712531159
Small business can take suggestions from customers, but these large game companies aren't going to. They'll do their own thing and we can only pay or not pay. Remember, it took a fuck up like the Wii u to change Nintendo, and all you had to do was nothing.

>name one person who shit on Iwata

Bro, Nintendo was the laughing stock of the industry from the Wii and Wii U/3DS generation. Journalists would deliberately take everything Iwata said out of context to twist it to make it sound a lot worse. It was so bad Iwata came up with the Nintendo Direct format to bypass gaming media outlets to directly communicate to the fans. To reiterate if people like Geoff Keighly and other outlets and gaming sites sucked Ninty's pp like they do for Sony, we wouldn't have had Nintendo Directs.

>i feel like nobody wanted the 3ds to exist.

You weren't there for the 3DS reveal at E3 2010. That was hands down the greatest console reveal Nintendo ever put out. It was big name game after another after another. Street Fighter to Metal Gear Solid to Kingdom Hearts to Mario on top of us seeing Paper Mario coming up which at the time took on TTYD's gameplay mechanics.

It had such an insane response that Iwata let it get to his head and overpriced the console to $250.

>>712518635 (OP)

He's the lead director of Mario Galaxy. Dude knows his game design

>>712532045
Mainly, directed or produced the Marios from Galaxy to 3D World.

>>712532174
Doug Bowser used to work in EA when John Riccitiello was its CEO.

Riccitiello, the one who killed Origin, Bullfrog, Westwood and Maxis, and the one who poisoned the AAA well into the hellhole it is today. He also tried to corrupt Unity but fortunately got sacked for that.

>>712532393
If only we could do to Doug Bowser what folks did to John Riccitiello. We just need to find something immensely damaging to drudge up on Bowser...

>>712531992
I dont even know this guys name. Well, now I do because I looked at the file name. I'll forget it in 5 minutes though.

>>712532608
Memory issue.

>>712532509
I think Bowser is trying to avenge that time the N humilliated EA.

Riccitiello wanted to impose Origin on the Wii U and they told him to eat shit. He got so pissed he forbade EA's studios from porting stuff to that console, and he would kill any that tried doing this behind his back.

>>712533661
>Bowser wanting to avenge his retard friend/cohort/former boss

Then we need to stick the proverbial fucking knife into Doug Bowser's back like it was a fucking knife holster and bully him.

I actually found his Twitter page and confronted him about being a cancerous shitheel and he blocked me from ever replying. I could create alts to keep going, but I feel like it wouldn't be worth the risk.

I have seen it done before in malls.
Basically you get a bunch of Tv's and Consoles in a case (the staff have to boot up the games) with Comfy Leather Chairs in front of them lined up against a wall.
Then you have a Merch Wall, a table or two with normal chairs and a Counter with snacks and the like.
Then you can either buy something to hang out, or pay to use the gaming stations for 30 minutes to an hour.
Teens in particular use them to host Fighting Game Tournaments.

You really can't see why seeing a clip of someone holding a Wii remote and some footage of fucking Wii Sports wouldn't convince someone that it's an all new console? Fucking really?

It's genuinely hard to believe just how badly they fumbled that reveal. The first thing they show is someone using a Wii remote to play the console.
