Gonna miss the Reggienator, he was a pretty fun person. Hope he has a nice retirement and enjoy the family and no worries.

 

[Noipoi]

REGGIE IS RETIRING WHAT???

 

[Blargg888]

Wait, so Bowser has taken over Nintendo?
Where's Mario when you need him?

He has potential. Technically, his new name is "President Bowser".

Mario: Nice of the president to invite us over for a picnic, eh, Luigi?
Luigi: I hope he made lots of spaghetti!
Mario: Luigi, look! It's from Bowser. “Dear pesky plumbers: The Koopalings and I have taken over Nintendo. The Regginator is now a permanent guest at one of my seven Nintendo offices. I dare you to find him if you can.” We've got to find the President!
Luigi: And, YOU've got to help us!
Mario: If you need instructions on how to get through the offices, check out the enclosed instruction book.

> Finds out that Reggie is retiring, Nintendo posts a message from him before he sends off, trying to take in all the news

****... I really didn't wanna believe it, but I guess it'd had to happen one way or another. I do feel sad, and wish nothing for the best of him. Let's just take this in without being any more sad--

> They ****ing show that one image with him, Miyamoto and Iwata

I honestly just realized how he's been present for all of the Nintendo-playing era of my life. I'm glad he's leaving on a high note though. Makes it feel at least bittersweet.

Now that both Reggie and Iwata are gone, Nintendo is not quite going to feel the same when they present stuff.

It truly is the end of an era. I hope he enjoys his retirement to the fullest.

This is what Reggie first said at E3 2004; “My name is Reggie. I’m about kickin’ ass, I’m about takin’ names, and we’re about makin’ games.” This tells you everything you need to know how about him. He's a cool dude, a meming machine, and a good businessman. You'll be remembered, Reggie.

I never liked how demanding he was.

Like **** off Luigi, I just got here. You don't even know me.

I believe ryumo has your answer.

Well, the new president seems to act fast. Here is a photo of his new policies.

Bowser has already captured them.

 

[Deleted member]

I will always remember Reggie, what a legend.

 

[Deleted member]

For old times sake: Reggie at E3 2007

And thus, a legend was born.

...Well, his meme status, anyways. Reggie was top tier from the minute he introduced himself during the GCN era:

Finally. A trustworthy president who isn't evil.

This whole situation, in a nutshell

I felt the need to post this, just one last time.

The main theme to a now closing era of Nintendo.

 

[Just a penguin]

On the one hand, i'm happy for him. Go be with your family, man. Thanks for the laughs.

On the other hand, REGGIE DON'T LEAVE MEEEEEE

*Premptive sadness for when Sakurai eventually leaves*

 

[Noipoi]

I can't believe Bowser ****ing won.

 

[RandomAce]

To be honest, Opossum here is right. Peoples excepted Ken, and Incineroar, despite there being NO pictures, and it was true... well, technically Simon, but he was leaked through a music video.

But there was a picture of Ken.

That’s why everyone believed in Ken.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

*Premptive sadness for when Sakurai eventually leaves*

NO STOP!

DON'T MESS WITH OUR EMOTIONS, LIKE THAT!

 

[Deleted member]

This is straight up an end of a ****ing era.
Iwata, Miyamoto, and Reggie. The holy trinity. And now two are gone.

 

[Deleted member]

I can't believe Bowser ****ing won.

I am very happy it was a fair election. Bowser did not collude with Russia.
Bowser will be a good president.

[Hinata]

Nintendo won't feel the same without ya, Reggie. But I hope he enjoys his retirement.

 

[TMNTSSB4]

I still miss Reggie...it’s been too damn long since he retired from Nintendo

 

[ZephyrZ]

On one hand, Reggie was an amazing personality and great market man for the company. He will be missed.

On the other hand, turtles are now one step closer to taking over the word. Death to all plumbers!

 

[Deleted member]

I can't believe Bowser ****ing won.

He took the Victory Royale after him and Reggie hopped off the Battle Bus:

Oh no...

Does this mean we're on the Super Mario Bros. Downfall Timeline!?

I think this is the timeline that leads to Mario Pinball Land...

 

[Noipoi]

This Doug guy better be funny god damn it.

 

[KMDP]

Oh no...

Does this mean we're on the Super Mario Bros. Downfall Timeline!?

I think this is the timeline that leads to Mario Pinball Land...

Either that or we're getting another Super Princess Peach game.

 

[SneakyLink]

Oh no...

Does this mean we're on the Super Mario Bros. Downfall Timeline!?

I think this is the timeline that leads to Mario Pinball Land...

After that is Mario Teaches Typing

Then that one game which is called Mario When I Grow Up... or something

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

wasnt trying to get irl political with my joke but ok

But in all seriousness, Reggie obviously has a large anount of respect for him to make him pres on NoA

 

[Mega Bidoof]

Unless it’s announced in the next 2 months, Reggie will never give us Mother 3.

 

[staindgrey]

*Premptive sadness for when Sakurai eventually leaves*

Guys. Sakurai already left. He's in charge of Sora, Ltd., his own independent gaming company that just so happens to have worked exclusively with Nintendo since its founding.

Also lets not kid ourselves into thinking that man will retire.

 

[KMDP]

This Doug guy better be funny god damn it.

I mean, look at this image he just posted.

 

[Opossum]

Okay but Geoff is definitely gonna give Reggie a send-off at The Game Awards this year.

Like, there's no way he won't.

 

[Just a penguin]

We oughta have a Reggie emoji-thing to remember him if we get an actual trash can () as one.

 

[Deleted member]

Think of it this way. Until April this year, Doug Bowser (I STILL CAN'T ****ING BELIEVE WE'RE LIVING IN A BOWSER-LED ERA SOON) had been the head of sales and marketing for Nintendo of America.

He essentially has been a HUGE key part as to why the Switch has been so successful and at this point like, what, 33-35 million units? At least successful here in America. From what Reggie has said and all the backlog on Bowser, I don't think there'll be too much to worry about.

Though, as shown with Iwata, I do think that there's gonna be less Nintendo Directs until they find that good medium. E3 this year is definitely going to be test to see if Directs will still have that same "OOMPH" with Reggie out of the spotlight by then. They could definitely capitalize on the whole Bowser name.

That being said, again, I do feel sad and I welcome Bowser with open arms. Gonna miss Reggie.
