Reggie Asks: Nintendo TVii

 

Preface

Hi, I'm Reggie Fils-Aime of Nintendo of America. Some of you may be wondering why we're holding a "Reggie Asks" to give you an in-depth look about Nintendo TVii, rather than localizing the Iwata Asks interview that Mr. Iwata held for the service. 

Even though Nintendo TVii will be released globally, the content and services that it offers will be drastically different by each region. In order to really communicate what Nintendo TVii will offer in North America, I felt that we needed to present you with details coming from those that are familiar with the services and features specific to North America. 

Mr. Iwata started the Iwata Asks interviews because, with his background as a game developer, he felt he shared the same way of thinking as the developers he would be interviewing, which would allow him to dive in to ask interesting questions. 

Two weeks before conducting this, I participated in an interview and was asked if I would ever consider holding an Iwata Asks. I answered honestly that in order to do an interview like this, it had to be on a topic where I had deep knowledge and high passion. Certainly this is true for the North American media business. For almost 30 years I have participated in the changing media landscape. I spent time in the content side of media with MTV Networks. I am an avid consumer of media, and debater of its direction with colleagues. So holding a Reggie Asks on this topic was a 'no-brainer.' I enjoyed the experience, and look forward to more situation like this one where I can leverage my background to help explain Nintendo's future direction.
