Okay quite a bit of BS going on in this thread.

First off Pachter is just as valid of a resource as VGChartz is. They both state their opinions of the gaming industry. VGChartz states its opinion on sales numbers, Pachter states his business opinion on game businesses and the decisions they make. Opinions will never be 100% accurate and if you are using vgchartz and are bashing Michael Pachter then slap yourself in the head you hypocrite. They are opinions made from the perspective of what would make shareholders the most money the fastest...

Next someone said that Reggie did a bad job in NoA... I would hardly say that Reggie has had that much control over the situation seeing as how Nintendo has been telling Reggie how to run NoA from Japan. He can hardly be blamed if Japanese games haven't sold well in America. If you want their games to keep coming over here then you need to buy them when they do.

Uhh..what? VGChartz makes estimations on sales numbers based on the information they have from retailers. That's not an opinion, it's an educated guess. In no way is that similar to Michael Pachter stating his opinion on a business. Even if they were the same, a person isn't a hypocrite for valuing the opinions of one person/entity over that of another.

I said Reggie should take Iwata's place, but truly I think Iwata is a really smart guy. There's no need to replace Iwata as the head, but there is need to open eyes to Western gamers and developers.

For exmaple Nintendo should start sending it's top engineers to GDC every year, both to present and to learn.

Plus I hope they learned from Sony the importance of reaching to developers as they develop Wii U's successur.

How exactly does changing to Reggie help Nintendo? Pachter mentions "consumer oriented" blah blah blah - what would this mean in practical terms?

What demographic do you think the DS caters to? It's mostly kids under 14 years of age. There's a lot of kids in the world. There's also a lot of adults; few who are interested in playing a handheld. 

You are launching a system geared towards kids in a market virtually free from competition. 

All replies you make at this point are you essentially giving Rol license to school you more than he already has. I'd ditch before things go further south if i were you

I  agree with reggin_bolas and Padib that the Nintendo handhelds are mostly owned in played by children. I doubt any adult in my office would be caught dead playing a Nintendo handheld at work.

Lol. I didnt mean predictions for what he would do to Nintendo. Just questioning what credentials Reggie would bring to the top job that Iwata doesnt.

Why would Reggie make a better president? NoA has been completely useless the last ten years. It took a massive fan campaign just to get them to port three fucking games over. And by the way, still waiting on Mother 3.


Yes because NoA are just allowed to do whatever they want. I'm fairly certain (based on some I think authentic leaks I read like a year ago) that there has been some internal frustration for NoA on the Japanese aspect of the company. I'm fairly certain Reggie would be regionalizing a lot more Japanese games if he could, he would probably be marketing a lot more if he could, and I am 99% certain he would make Nintendo have guns blazing in a real E3 press conference every year. He would also connect a whole lot better in American 3rd party companies and I would imagine would push for a lot better internet features. In fact, I would guess Reggie disagrees with so many upper management decisions that Nintendo has considered firing him but won't because he is just about the ONLY aspect of that company that connects with the West. Nintendo needs Reggie a WHOLE lot more than they need Iwata, regardless of their roles. Reggie could be the best figurehead in gaming if Nintendo promoted him.

Personally, I'm fine with Iwata as the head, however I do wish NoJ would allow NoA to have a lot more freedom than they currently do.

Nooooo I love Iwata :(

But does he love you?


Well, he is loving all Nintendo fans in their behinds for quite a while....



My grammar errors are justified by the fact that I am a brazilian living in Brazil. I am also very stupid.

People out there must know some seriously insecure people, then. You're not the first to have said this.

i always found Iwata to be a really interesting game CEO since, unlike most, he started off as a programmer and worked his way up. as he has said before, he feels like he is in the fortunate position that he knows the inner workings of games and game designs very well, which is why he holds Iwata Asks.
