Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé stated that they didn't want to show "wonderful footage" of The Legend of Zelda Wii U at the Nintendo's E3 Digital Event.
Show organizers ReedPop and Penny Arcade announced that PAX West 2023 will have a keynote speaker famous within the gaming industry.
Reggie is actually a creative marketing manager. He is the real deal. I think the guy might even be above average in the sales department. He got people to accept cheaply made products for extremely high prices and not only accept the situation but to defend him in a way to make sure their favorite sales manager gets rich, and on top of all of this, he kept the pop-culture train rolling. The dude is a true hustler.
Recent stats show that VR will be niche for years to come. Here's why VR gaming shouldn't be afraid to be niche.
My wife who generally hates games has taken over my PS5 for last couple days to play PSVR2 when she is home . Now I have to go get another PS5 at least .
From VGC: "Former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé has cautioned fans not to expect further releases in the Earthbound series in the near future.
Mother – or Earthbound, as it’s known in the West – saw its third instalment released on the Game Boy Advance in Japan over 15 years ago, but despite persistent requests from fan groups it has never received an official English release.
The Earthbound series received renewed attention in February after Nintendo announced that both Earthbound and its predecessor Earthbound Beginnings (aka Mother) would be added to Switch Online’s SNES and NES apps."
He would happily suggest buying a NFT of Ness though. Thank God he is a semi-retired mouthpiece.
Nintendo is a mess
im so confused with that statement.
I get the frustration, but his point is that they didn't want people to get hyped again, only to be let down by the fact that this isn't a game we're getting very soon.
Not that I'm defending it; I think it would'be been great to see some new footage, but nevertheless, I ALSO don't know why everyone is so surprised. They announced earlier this year that Zelda won't be at E3, so it's not like they pulled the rug from under anyone's feet.
Wow. I'm sorry what? This is an oxymoron. Why would wonderful footage disappoint?
My opinion is there were too many other big announcements/games showcased so they held off showing it for now until they can do so at a later date with more focus on this game.
