PSP loses to DS in November.

[Bojack]

Will both of you quit gaying up the DS threads? You're making Iwata cry for God's sake!

I never tried to start shit in this thread, omfg could've left well enough alone and it would have been fine. But all that aside this is my last response to any one in this or any other DS thread for now because I don't want them "gayed" up either. That Iwata pic is funny as shit though, had my sides hurting honest.

I'd almost forgotten about Reggie. He makes me want to hate Nintendo.


p.s. My 1988 Triniton works great.

You have got to be kidding me. Reggie is the first ever flat out likeable rep to work at NOA and he actually seems to have some sort of tangible function and input in the company beyond being a droning pr machine (see Perrin Kaplan and George Harrison) Plus, he actually seems to like playing games.

Remembers the days of Howard Lincoln and Mr. Arikawa and shudders Two dullest old farts EVER. Would they ever play Mario Kart with fans? Not a chance. Not even Next Gen magazine could squeeze anything of interest out of those two dullards.

Developers bet against Nintendo at their own risk. Revolution won't be a purple box with a handle, and that was the only reason the Xbox beat out the Cube in this one region.

You mean the lack of decent games had nothing to do with it?

This man. Is obnoxious. I barely noticed the other guys, but at least i didn't hate them. Every word he says pisses me off. Truth.

I remember Lincoln going on about Mario 64, saying it's the best thing evAr and Nintendo would live forever because of it and nonsense.
I remember Howard Phillips. He was cool. Or at least he was in Howard and Nester. You know, in those days, i wanted to be a Nintendo game counselor. That was my dream.

The Cube had more flat out good games than Xbox. (insert joke about Xbox being big and black, ha ha, people like that combination and so forth, what have you, things of such nature)

If you're arguing the merits of a current gen system that isn't the PS2, you lost. STFU.

Exactly, you may not like Reggie's "style" but at least he has personality and doesn't act like Nintendo is unstoppable/doesn't need to change like the people I just mentioned. Lincoln was an annoying old duffer who was just there to make money and uphold Yamauchi's word, he could have cared less what direction the company was headed in.

Of course, it probably also helps that Yamauchi is finally gone (not that he wasn't a very smart man) and that Iwata seems much more progressive and open in thinking. But I guarantee you a Reggie-Iwata dynamic is much better than Iwata barking orders to some elderly american man just sitting in a chair (who probably cared more that he was part owner of the Seattle Mariners). yawn As a random example, we don't know whose idea it was to tell NST wait and put Hunters online, but of the two who do you think it was more likely: Iwata or Reggie? You think we would have had Lincoln or Arikawa pushing NST to delay in order to make the game wifi?

Look at Reggie's track record, the man knows how to market very effectively.

He's still obnoxious. One day, i want to punch him in the face. I feel he's trying to sell me knives to sell to someone else. I guess he kind of is trying to do that, and i can't blame him too much. It's a hard job trying to appeal to adults with something that's aimed at kids to 20-somethings. I just hate his freakin' guts.
