I'm kind of bummed that they're replacing Reggie, a person of color, with another white guy. I mean I understand that he is likely the right guy for the job and all but still. :(

I think Doug Bowser will actually be the first white guy to hold the position.

Why exactly is Reggie so beloved? I thought he was just a suit.

I could understand attachment to Miyamoto or Iwata seeing as they were designers or Kondo as the composer, but what have executives ever done for us?

Reggie's been one of the most visible Nintendo people in E3 presentations and Directs over the years, so people associate him a lot with the announcements of new consoles and titles.

Please be excited.



He's just one of the few execs that doesn't come across as a lizard person.

Most of Nintendo's pretty good on that front. Sony also has Shu and Jack Tretton was mostly alright.

And that's literally it for the industry.

Reggie decided to crash an orientation I was in at NoA one time. He took up most of our time talking about how he playtested Goldeneye and had competitions with the other testers. The dude is great. Nintendo execs not being mindless suits is a good thing for this industry.

I really dig Hollow Knight. I’ve got the dash and I’m exploring Greenpath and some mushroom place. But part of me gets anxious that I don’t really know where I should be going. Am I missing some direction or should so just try to complete the maps and get into uncharted areas?

Also I really like how the boss battles make me work and not be lazy. It’s really special defeating them.

Hollow Knight is very open, there’s not really a critical path. Greenpath and Fungal Wastes is generally where you want to be after Crossroads.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Reggie's whole thing is basically being ridiculously charismatic and generally presenting things people like.

Yeah, Phil Spencer seems a lot better than your average video game exec, but also he hasn't been able to fix Microsoft's game dev problems or unfuck my Xbox One's interface yet, so everyone should continue holding off on the funny Spencer memes.

And it made one-eighth the difference.
It means Master Chief is a Nintendo character now, and Cortana is the newest Nintendo Princess.

Most likely it means some form of gamepass, powered by cloud, will come to switch alongside possibly smaller games like Ori and Cuphead getting native switch versions that you can play offline (still need gamepass)
