Guys, I'm having a Nintendo Fan crisis.

Reggie was the cornerstone of Nintendo memes. How am I gonna meme now? WHAT AM I GONNA DO!? D:

Is Bill still in the company? He's a pretty big meme-machine. Sakurai's dub voice is also pretty memetic. They'll probably find a way to get him and Doug on some of their wacky skits as compensation.

Or things just go on as they always do, without skits ;_;

I wonder who does that voice. I want to meet the cast of the English Dub of real world Nintendo Employees. Who gets to say "I'm the english voice of Masahiro Sakurai."?

That would be a HUGE one-eighty. I seriously doubt it.

- Xbox has said publicly at E3 and elsewhere that they are currently working on the next generation of their Xbox consoles.
- The Xbox brand was recently given a seat at the Microsoft table rather than being a subdivision. Phil Spencer now has more power than any head of Xbox ever has before.
- Xbox has purchased seven new development studios in the last year to work on games exclusive to Xbox (and PC because of their Play Anywhere initiative).
- Every rumor I've seen has pointed to another high end XB1X-type console and a low spec one meant to stream games from their "xcloud", a direct competitor to Sony's Playstation Now.
- Also due to software sales the XB1 has not lost them money. It significantly underperformed from their initial expectations, but that's why the shakeup happened where Don Mattick left and Phil Spencer was promoted. While XB1 clearly lost the battle to PS4, the Xbox brand is on a resurgence and total software sales have led to profits for Microsoft this generation.
- Oh and unlike Sony Microsoft will be at E3 this year, already confirmed.

Due to all of these investments, it's very unlikely that Microsoft is jumping ship on the gaming industry now. More than likely they're trying to emphasize cloud gaming, their Games Pass on multiple devices and the PC market in addition to whatever the next Xbox console is. Because they've learned that betting it all on one piece of hardware and expecting everyone to buy it isn't a safe strategy.

"As I look forward to departing in both good health and good humor, this is not ‘game over’ for me, but instead ‘leveling up’ to more time with my wife, family and friends."

What a legend. He joined Nintendo in 2003 when they were struggling with the GameCube, helped them achieve massive success with the DS and Wii, weathered the storm with the Wii U situation, and helped bring Nintendo back with the Switch. And after all that, he takes his opportunity to retire just so he can spend more time with his loved ones, rather than stick around as long as possible to squeeze as much money out of his position as he can. That's a man with a good heart.

Here's hoping President Bowser is just as good. Apparently he led the marketing for the Switch, which was a home run, so I think we're in good hands.

What if the english voice is actually some random person's soundcloud recordings and Nintendo "borrowed" their recordings for Sakurai's English lines? Man, they are ruthless with fan content. First the Claus sprite, and now this?

Man, I think Miyamoto is gonna retire in the next few years. He’s getting old. After that, it will pretty much just be Bill and Sakurai as the old memes of Nintendo.

Just because Reggie is leaving the company, that doesn't mean we have to stop making Reggie memes.

My body will never stop being ready.

This thread has suddenly taken yet another weird turn?

Because of that, I gotta get a one liner in!

Where can someone find 100 doctors in one place?

That's always the rumor whenever a company is doing poorly in the console market. People said the same thing about Nintendo 5 years ago. Here we are now.

It's due to what happened to Sega more than anything. The difference is, Sega only ever had one hit: the Sega Genesis, and even that didn't last forever. All their other systems were varying degrees of failure. Anyone here even remember the Sega Saturn? The Dreamcast was just the last straw after several years of failure to compete at all with Nintendo and Sony.

For Microsoft to drop out of the console race, their next system or two would have to fail, and leave the Xbox brand as something no longer marketable, which I doubt is going to happen. Especially since Microsoft's primary disadvantage this generation now is their lack of first-party software, which they've heavily invested in for the future, so we're going to be seeing some stern competition from them in the next console generation.

Honestly, I'm expecting Microsoft to either be much closer to or even surpass Sony next generation, if history is anything to go by. It primarily depends on how much brand loyalty Sony has, or if most of their userbase is only there for more superficial reasons.
