Do The Nintendo Higher-Ups Sound Like Sore Losers To You ?

Reggie is the only one that sounds that way to me. At least Iwata tried to apologize until Reggie came in doing damage control in the worst way. I said it before and I'll say it again, I don't like Reggie as the president of Nintendo of America. Someone who understands what we want in our games should be placed there.

Reggie doesn't have any control though. It won't matter WHO takes his place. Nintendo's problem in the US is that they don't allow the US branch any power to make important decisions. Everything is decided in Japan where they don't have a clue as to what the US consumer wants.

Back when Sega beat Nintendo in the US, during the Genesis era, Sega allowed the US branch to have total control. This is why you saw all of those awesome commercials and games that were made for the US consumer.

If Nintendo would allow for something like that, we'd all stop getting Metroid Soccer and get Metroid Prime instead. 

Oh so Reggie doesn't have enough influence to have a final say on what NA market wants? Well that's f'ed up. That makes perfect sense in what you said about the Gensis. They did give Nintendo a run for their money. I had both. However, at that time I was more of a Nintendo guy. (Still thinks the Super Nintendo is the best console ever...ahem!) 

I guess we won't see games we really want. We'll get a Mario pinball galaxy game before we get a Super Mario Galaxy 3 game. Tsk...tsk.
