I like Reggie. He's got quite an impressive résumé and a pretty high level of success with his past endeavors. Like someone else mentioned, I don't believe all of his decisions are perfect, and sometimes he does come off as a bit arrogant, but it doesn't change the fact that he's still an impressive figure.



Around the Network

Reggie has been great so far in the 3DS generation, as he brought literally every game so far from Japan and he's being a good spokesperson for the company.

He's lacking on bringing 3DS Special editions and colors and last e3 (probably his responsibility) was lackluster.
That's his job. He probably has much of a say in Nintendo creative decisions as me or you,  so I don't think it's right to criticise him for this part.

He could improve in making Nintendo do more partnerships with third parties to localize their games. But even not being perfect at this (far from it), I think Nintendo does that more than any other company.



Best option on the poll is "I am Reggie".. I got a kick out of that one.

I'm not even sure what his responsibility as NoA president is, but Shiggy and Reggie are two of the most recognizable figures in gaming today, which is pretty awesome. :)



After getting your hands on a WiiU before anyone else, im sure you lovely Americans must have forgiven Reggie for operation rainfall. (im sooo jealous of you)



Talkin seriously, Reggie is a very good speaker, and even though hes ugly as fuck, he has a great presence and transmits confidence

Is it bad that I have no idea who he is?

I like Reggie a lot. Watching him recently on Jimmy Fallon, and seeing him visit the line outside Nintendo World only makes me like him more :)

Link?

Glad to see you make it out of the iOS gaming thread!

Can't stand him. Buffoon. Lucky, LUCKY man, right place right time.

He has an extremely patronising tone.

Did I mention I don't like him?

Not so sure about this one brah.
