Nintendo's Reggielution Will Not Be Televised

Posted by simoniker on Wednesday August 4, 2004 @11:37AM from the perhaps-too-much-attention dept.

Thanks to Gaming Age forum regulars for pointing to a Reveries.com profile of Nintendo's chief marketing officer Reggie Fils-Aime, subject of E3 adulation for his appearance at Nintendo's press conference. The article argues enthusiastically: "Reggie's high-voltage verbs sent shockwaves of anticipation -- and adulation -- through the Nintendo community", and Fils-Aime explains his own view of why people enjoyed his appearance: "They were proud -- they were happy for someone like myself to come in and articulate a very aggressive attitude, and frankly, have the games and the innovations to back it up. That's what motivated the response that we've seen on all these websites and that part has truly been fantastic."

Only one reggielution I want - first party titles! by fr0dicus · 2004-08-05 02:19 · Score: 0, Flamebait
I now present Nintendo's new first party Gamecube products list, as authored in Japan. Remember this does not include stuff like F-Zero and Metroid that they've farmed out:
- The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
- Animal Crossing
- Pikmin
- Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
- The Legend of Zelda: Four Swords Adventures
- Super Mario Sunshine
- Wario Ware Inc. Mega Party Game$
- Luigi's Mansion
- Pokemon Channel
Ta-da! Two great titles, one really good, three only 'good' and two that are poor. Frankly, I'm disappointed in the extreme with the output of Nintendo HQ since its release nearly three years ago, and I fear it's far too late for them to remedy it. Not a patch on the N64.
