    Reggie (power)
    Iwata (wisdom)
    Miyamoto (courage)

      @UltimaKeyMaster 5 лет назад +302

      It almost feels like Miyamoto still being there is...when Link already wins. Power will be kept in new, safe hands for years to come. Wisdom has passed on and will travel around to find a new soul. Courage already saved the day...so what's to do for an old hero now, especially one so eager to allow the younger generation they shaped to flourish?

      @Just A Realist A fad doesn't become the best selling thing in history with multiple side products being the most successful things in their entire franchise.
      Also the Wii U came out in 2012, the other two were 2013. That's factually incorrect about the Wii. That and it got first place.

      It's funny cause I feel like the "fellow youths" thing is often used for people who are sort of "faking it" to get people's. However, Reggie seemed genuinely interested and wanted to connect with his audience, but needed to keep a serious side of him so that he could still do his job the best that he could.

    I really hope Doug Bowser builds a persona at Nintendo. We loved Reggie because he was fun and sincere. He wasn't afraid to get goofy or make time for skits. He regularly demonstrated how he cared about the fans. While I'm not expecting Doug to be Reggie v2, I am at least hoping that he will try and build a persona.
    All he needs to do is show us that he likes to have a little fun as Reggie did.

      The one thing I hope Bowser doesn't do is make memes for the sake of making memes. Forcing jokes down somebody's throat isn't fun and while Reggie may have done things that are meme-y, he never acted like he was funny while doing so.
      The community built his meme and it's just different to some old guy running on stage saying "HEY WASSUP FELLOW YOUNGINS HOWYADOIN ITS ME YA BOY xXxBowser69xXx"
      We'll have to see what he does. I assume he'll make a few jokes here and there (tying up Mario/Luigi), but he probably won't be acting as much in the center as Reggie did.

    Satoru Iwata, Reggie Fils-Aime, and Shigeru Miyamoto are people that prove time and time again that a company can have a healthy relationship with its fans and customers. They stand as a testament to that purely by being great people and taking risks you barely/never hear from any other company.

    A wonderful video and tribute to a wonderful leader and icon. As a 20-year old whose gaming life started with the DS and Wii, Reggie was there from the moment I got more involved in the online Nintendo world, and I have so many fond memories of watching presentations and videos with him in them. Who can forget the Reggie-Iwata fight that revealed the Miis for Smash? I jumped and screamed at that. And during every single presentation I watched with a very close friend and fellow Nintendo-fan, we would literally scream out his name whenever he appeared on screen. I will miss him, but I am very thankful for the amazing work he's done for Nintendo and the industry as a whole.
    Also, DYKG, I really love these videos. I think it's really lovely to see tribute videos to the lives and careers of industry figures. Keep up the great work with them!
