He's on twitter now

And the fact that his username is just "Reggie" is pretty fun.

Wait, Nintendo pays their interns? What a magical place!
icookfoodandfightfire
most tech companies do, interns at Facebook and google make $75k+ a year

Take note people. THIS is how you leave a job!! Epic exit strategy!

I'm not sure this would make as much sense at many other people's jobs.

Just like his body, he was ready.

How you exit a fun amazing job*

My friend taped a porn CD he found while working (Mailman) on the bathroom wall at their office when he left his job

His name was Reggie. He kicked ass, took names, and he was about making games. Now he's off to play Animal Crossing: New Leaf on his 3DS
BubblesTheFish
This T.V. looks like an apple.

His body is ready for retirement.
Schrollix
You know he already has a copy of animal crossing for switch

And if you aren't playing it with him... What's wrong with you?

Because I didn't know I could

I don't have it :c (honestly I'm probably just gonna wait for the new Switch one)

My body is still not ready

I remember this perfectly but can't remember my dads voice. Worth it.

Look at mr high and mighty who remembers his dads voice. He died in 75
abundantbadgers
Ah ok. My condolences. :(
DangrebeTheMangrebe
I'm just kidding bro, I'm 26, saw my dad about 9 months ago. Thanks for being nice!
CaffeinatedSlacker
Reggie seemed like a pretty chill bro. All my friends who've interacted with him said as much.

Never said I had friends at Nintendo, just friends who've interacted with Reggie. You believe whatever makes you happy though, bro.

Well good on you then, go enjoy some Nintendo games, courtesy of John Nintendo!

Hey Frank Nintendo here, all these people are great, Uncle Jack says hi!
StaalTheNotQuiteSoUndefeatedAnymoreButNevermind
Hey, talking about your uncle. I tried that mew thing about moving the truck, and it hasn't worked, does he have any other tips?
CaffeinatedSlacker
You need to catch seventeen blue pikachus.
StaalTheNotQuiteSoUndefeatedAnymoreButNevermind
Are they behind Bill's house?
CaffeinatedSlacker
One is for sure at a one of the other trainer's graves in Lavender town. You need to listen to the theme and Press A at the right scream.

Seems like the whole Nintendo crew is like that. I mean how could you not, you work at Nintendo!
ElviraQueenOfDarkness
I met the Marketing top for my country. Bitch has my dream job and doesn't like video games or has played any of Nintendo top series.
dustygamedev
Miyamoto apparently doesn't like hiring designers who play games because he wants fresh ideas that aren't born from games they've played.
ElviraQueenOfDarkness
Marketing not design. She was totally surprised people that cosplay nintendo chars also play the game. *facepalm*
TheSisSilent
That’s kinda sad to hear. One of the job qualifications should be you love video games like duh
zairewyoming
Also makes sense if you don't have an emotional attachment you can make smarter unbiased choices in some ways
lizardbones
Yeah, but the love for the thing youre selling is also a tool to connect to your target audience
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
Can we just take a moment to recognize Nintendo? They’ve made their stupid decisions in the past, but they’ve rarely if ever been anti-

vaccinators against Dr. Wario's orders to prevent Luigi from being the sole pill popper while Mario just tripped balls on magic shrooms
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
Consumers, none of their leadership has ever been caught in massive scandals, they keep their company on focus remembering what they’re-
godzillasgreatleader
still making the cost of their games 59.99 while using cardboard as part of a kids game
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
Nobody forced you to buy it or locked content behind a dlc pay wall
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
Supposed to be here for (making games and having fun) and they push innovation in the industry.
Thatotherlurker
Mhm. They've got their flaws, of course. But overall it's a pretty good group.
lizardbones
I always remember the phrase "Nintendo remains a top place in videos games despite marketing fails because they make their games fun"
lionsilverwolf
Plus, whatever the flaws, their consoles are shockingly tough. Yeah the newer stuff less so, but still beyond expectations!
TheLordCypher
Fuckin Nintendium man.
dietluigi
Except that time they tried to remove all Let's Players off of Youtube. Or when they refused to pay for the license to use DVDs or BR.
dietluigi
Or that time they screwed over the original Star Fox team from publishing Star Fox 2 so Nintendo could make Star Fox 64 instead.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
That was lousy, but it’s not like they never got paid for their work.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
You’re confusing bad choices with being anti consumer. Honestly the things you mention are just really damn nit picky.
dietluigi
Or how they started publishing Mobile games with in-game purchases, branded with first-party characters.
wadatahmydamie
IAP’s aren’t inherently bad though.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
Again, they were always clear about what those products were, even more than most mobile developers.
dietluigi
Or when they lied about not having plans to stop the Gameboy line when the DS came out.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
How does that harm anyone?
dietluigi
Or that time they released the Wii U and never made any decent games for it, leaving consumers with a bad investment.
wadatahmydamie
Dude. You sound like somebody who got dumped three years ago and you’re mad she finally blocked your number.
dietluigi
There's no need to be upset, just because the Wii U is second only to the Virtual Boy for being the worst selling Nintendo console ever.
dietluigi
https://www.statista.com/chart/6338/nintendo-game-console-sales/
wadatahmydamie
Nobody cares, except for you. Your entire thread is just one big bitch fit.
dietluigi
Or that time they branded that shovel-ware game as a Metroid title to try to ride on name recognition.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
They never lied about what Federation Force was to push sales. That’s the key. You knew what you were getting.
dietluigi
I'm sure they thought it'd be a big hit, which is why Iwata had to release a statement about it.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
And? Explain to me how it is, in any way, anti-consumer to produce a complete product that you want to sell?
dietluigi
Or that time they refused to release anything for the Virtual Console; meanwhile, blaming ROM sites for lost revenue.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
ROM sites never had the right to distribute games ever, and they were doing it while they had the VC running
dietluigi
But Nintendo apparently has the right to download ROMs off the Internet and sell them in their Virtual Console store.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
To take back an illegal unauthorized copy of something they made? Yeah they do. The monsters *eyeroll*

You don’t get it do you? The ROM holders never had the legal right to distribute those copies. The law is clear: if you own a physical -
dietluigi
Or how you now have to pay for their non-existent online services.
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
So like every other game console but for 1/3 the price. Or hell, 5$ a year if you and 6 friends share? Jeez you’re entitled.
dietluigi
It's still double dipping. Paying for Internet twice, for the privilege of using a mobile app for voice chat? How is that a good investment?
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
Someone has to pay for the servers and the netcode. Someone has to pay for the infrastructure. They’re not like PCs that have preexisting-
