Am I the only one who sees the title as misleading? what is wrong with the actual articles title?

He didn't help him he just made the kids dream come true by spending a day with him. The kid is still eventually more than likely going to die.

Thanks for that I guess...

That's nice of Reggie.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Props. Reminds me of Kojima visiting a deceased fan's home.



I recall a Mother Teresa poem, part of which read "If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives. Be kind anyway."

I think we often focus far too much on the obvious PR benefits when large companies do charitable and nice things like this in an effort to discredit them and maintain the "evil and greedy" label applied to every company that exceeds a size deemed reasonable by others.

The truth, of course, is that this is indeed great for PR, but all companies are composed of a great many nice people who would relish the opportunity to make a sick kid's dreams come true. This is something that we should respond openly to as opposed to defensively. We ought to encourage such things rather than letting the greater social media world know just how brilliantly cynical we are. I'm glad to see these forums are more accepting of such things than one often sees on the Facebook newsfeed.

It's mutually beneficial; a win win. I never get tired of seeing it :)

On a side note, I have to say the Internet, and especially social media, has been a godsend for the awareness of more obscure illnesses. I feel like I come across a new ailment I'd not heard of nearly every month, and foundations have benefited enormously from them.



That's nice but I'm not sure what's so special about the NoA headquarters or Reggie.
When I was younger, my dream was to visit Disney World and the Nasa Space centre.

I think we have an ideal career for him!

Quick somebody photoshop him as a kids clown and this time it's as a compliment :O .

I'm being harsh and distasteful but I couldn't resist the clown link.

That kid was simply fascinated by the " My Body is Ready" meme.

Very nice of him



I love Reggie as a person. But as a business man, I feel like he should either step up his game a shit ton or get replaced.

Reggie is a very genuine guy. I'm sure he loves what he does, even if he's not the best at the job. Ninty is on a roll doing quite a few nice things to make the life of patients that much better. Just look at this. The best console this gen just became legendary to me. And there isn't any fanfare about it. I'm no longer going to call this gen underwhelming, it has the WiiU.
