??? im just gonna get right to it, Reggie aint crap, he is a glorified hype man. He turned the 3DS around??? Really, he had something to do with the price drop? Cause im sure that decision was made in Japan. Reggie is on a leash??? Wha??? If he was on a leash, then we would have Xenoblade and Last Story. He doesnt need more power, if anything they need to tighten the reins on his mouth, because nothing but BS has been coming out.  I seriously doubt he is speaking for Iwata or anyone else.  Matter of fact just disolve all on NOA, just have one huge Ninty company its not like they do crap anyway

lol very sorry Oniyide but your statements not only contradict one another they are completely out to lunch.

Firstly you argue Reggie is not on a leash and that Japan would have brought over Xenoblade and Last Story, but you claim that Japan made the decision to cut the 3DS price and not Reggie, hence saying he was not allowed to weigh in on the move and can't be given credit because he wasn't involved.

Well buddy how can he be held responsable for running NOA and not being on a leash if his decisions are made by Japan without his involvement?

You also forget that Nintendo's policies have not changed with regards to Japanese titles being brought to North America. Nintendo Japan specifically stated that EarthBound would not sell in North America, that was Nintendo's Japanese branch and it was supported by the President of NOA at the time as well. Several high profile Japanese games never made it to North America because Japan didn't think American's would buy them.

Today Nintendo's spokesman in Japan have made similar comments , though the majority have come from NOA. Fact is Reggie if he does have say is heavily influenced by Nintendo in Japan. The fact that Nintendo's position has not changed since NES in fact since arcade shows that the issue is not NOA rather Nintendo's top brass in Japan.

Yah because Nintendo Of America does nothing. I mean all the distribution deals, translations regional representations , Government interactions, localization. All of the interactions with the third parties in North America who have to work with NOA, or what about the hardware that comes from North America developed by IBM and such which all goes through NOA to Nintendo Japan.

Yah I mean Nintendo Of America does nothing completely worthless we should all just import our games and hardware from Japan. Learn to speak Japanese and give up all games and content from North America. Nintendo tried running operations from Japan it didn't work. North America is a bigger market then Japan and its operations in North America are far more important to the companies survival then any other place on earth besides maybe Kyoto.

Nintendo Of America is essential to Nintendo's survival and Reggie was hired to help Nintendo Of America regain its grip which it had in the 90's. Nintendo Of America needs greater independance if their is any hope of retaining control of the games industry! I stand by what I said Reggie needs at least three or four North American studios under his control, he needs marketing brought back internally and he needs the ability to make business decisions without Iwata vetoing them or reading a direct script from Nintendo Japan!
