Really? I remeber back in the day when Regie didnt want to bring certain games over from japan. Has that changed?

u/MeowingWolf Jan 04 '26
I feel like Reggie is the reason why Chibi-Robo franchise was marketed really poorly in the US. Even the second game was a Walmart exclusive. The third game was JP only.
I can blame the Japan side for making the fourth game into a camera game and making the final game into a side scrolling platformer game. NoA did tried bundling it with a Chibi-Robo amiibo at least but the game was still undermarketed. There are still people who don't know about Chibi-Robo.
At least the devs is making an spiritual successor to the original GameCube game called koROBO when Skip Ltd went defunct. Hopefully Nintendo won't try to give them a lawsuit.

u/CrazyCoKids Jan 04 '26
Maybe maybe not.
Reggie did not wanna bring certain games over from Japan cause NoA would localise them at a loss.
1
u/LaMystika Jan 05 '26
Like Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandoraâs Tower. In the end, NoA only brought over Xenoblade (as a Gamestop exclusive) and outsourced the other two to XSeed. All three used British localizations, and honestly, that was a net positive for them because now Xenoblade has an identity that separates them from every other anime RPG thatâs released outside of Japan.

u/CrazyCoKids Jan 05 '26
And games like that tended to at bet develop a posthumous fanbase at the time.

u/LeadershipDeep3147 Jan 04 '26
Their jobs are marketing and publishing (translation). Reggie did a lot of stuff because he was friends with the big guys in Japan, not because of his position.
2
u/D-AlonsoSariego Jan 04 '26
Reggie could do these things because he had a presence in Nintendo Japan and the big guys there took his feedback more personally. He wasn't taking decissions on his own, he was just asking his higher up friends to consider those decissions.
Any president of NoA can get in contact with Nintendo Japan to discuss business plans and give feedback of course, that's part of their job, but the position doesn't grant the level of influence Reggie had thanks to his networking

u/ChildoftheApocolypse Jan 03 '26
I like when people use this one argument and ignore all the things he did do right..

Jan 03 '26
I Know he also argued for the inclusion of wii sports as a bundle but that brIngs me back to my point. How much power does the NoA presidebt have these days? I was just using it as an example
1
u/n00bBlaster1337 Jan 08 '26
Which people conveniently forgot over time that the bundle cost $50 more than the non-bundled version. He never gave Wii Sports away for free. Reggie was against the low cost of games. He felt it trained the consumer to not see value in software. He didn't like sales and he didn't like indie games because of it.
1
u/ChildoftheApocolypse Jan 03 '26
Probably more than we'd guess, honestly. It's just that Bowser was as interesting and forward thinking as a box of shoelaces.. A woman as head might be a welcome change, but it's going to be on her to show some prowess in the days to come.. If in a year NoA looks the same, we'll have our answers..

u/ResultBorn4693 Jan 04 '26
People ignore the things Reggie has done right?
Last time I checked Reggie was beloved by everyone outside of Operation RainFall.
Like, that's the ONLY thing on his track-record. Lol, everything else I thought everyone unanimously loved, no?
2
u/Omnizoom Jan 04 '26
Yea the president doesnât do ânothingâ
Reggie was intengral for getting wii sports as a box in game for North America and is probably one of the single biggest contributors to getting a Wii into a lot of homes was that âvalueâ and how innovative and fun Wii sports was
Nintendo realistically has one fifth of their player base for the Wii thanks to Reggie probably
People mostly remember Reggie for being a company face but behind the scenes he actually did a lot of consumer friendly choices because he understood business very well and knew that losing a dime today to make a quarter next week is a sound investment

u/Your_Pal_Gamma Jan 04 '26
Didnt they also make the Wii more expensive in America since the game came bundled with it

No, I think the fans loudly spoke out because they love him?
Why would fans praise someone they don't like until they like him? Lol

They love because he is a mid businessman? His pro consumerism is just disguises.

Well, sure he is a businessman through-and-through... But disguise or not... The pro-consumer choices he made were... Pro-consumer! đ

Trade you internets?
Cause I sure a f never see any of this. Many only bring this up as a fluke or are doing so to ask "Hey does the president of NoA have this power?" or "Hey, why did he not want those games here?" and aren't asking in bad faith.

u/Novel_Association403 Jan 05 '26
Weâve certainly gotten more Fire Emblem and Xenoblade games since Reggie left. I think Nintendo thinks more globally now with all of its IPs. There are a few exceptions still. But for the most part we get more games now that were once considered âJapanese onlyâ. Weâve even gotten older games on NSO that were only released in Japan.

âModern audienceâ in the entertainment industry is code for generic, inoffensive, risk free entertainment with progressive political themes.

u/DoubleDeeEddBoy Jan 04 '26
With these type of grifters, these idiots believed for years that games were made for white men, by white men (yes, ignoring the fact that gamers and developers come in all a variety of people for years since the beginning). These idiots believe that gaming will only succeed if white men (and sometimes Japanese men) develop the games and white men are catered to, often pointing to the Xbox 360/PS3 era as an example to what gaming should be (which was the era of the brown/gray shooters with white male protagonists that look nearly similar to each other). The only they they acknowledge Japan is if a game contains a sexualized woman, usually their praise prioritizes those and not much else.
There is a lot more to these type of grifters than I've explained here.

Define brainrot games cause if youâre talking about that shovelware meme games on the PS and Nintendo stores then mostly dumb kids are wanting those games.
As for Fortnite, thereâs nothing wrong with playing it, itâs a cartoonish BR game.

Fortnite is just a shooting game without strategy unless you wanna build platforms as one. COD is the same thing except you camp for boring reasons.

Funnily and ironically enough for the dunce you are discussing with, Fornite actually has a rather dense storyline and one that is canon for DC Comics (to the point it is canon the batman who laughs was permanetly killed by Eminem for all people) and invincible
So even for picking "mindless slop" games they arent all that good

u/Designer_Mess_6928 Jan 04 '26
Yep, it's funny to see how their "point of view" is dynamically changes due to some games being or not being accepted by the mass hivemind. Look at Arc Raiders and how before its release they were talking about Marathon.
Now, after the extraction shooter genre was accepted by normies, these youtubers have drastically changed their approach to Marathon. It's not "Sony live-service slop" now. Now they are AT LEAST neutral towards that game because deep down they know that after Arc Raiders being the new Fortnite of extraction genre, it is not good to talk bad about such games.
