MinnMax Interview - Reggie Fils-Aimé On The Challenges Of Running Nintendo Of America
Added 2022-07-08 16:16:00 +0000 UTC
In this interview with MinnMax's Ben Hanson, the former President of Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aimé talks about his new book Disrupting the Game: From the Bronx to the Top of Nintendo and some of the challenges he encountered within the organization. He explains why he's not interested in surfacing more Nintendo history, what it's like working with Shigeru Miyamoto, shares some thoughts on the Wii U messaging, and then talks about his time on the board of GameStop and why he was so frustrated by the company's current leadership. This interview was recorded before the recent layoffs at GameStop and Game Informer.

Good interview. You got one of Bryan Vore's questions from the book discussion, but not the big one. I too wanted to hear about the Pizza Hut Bigfoot Blimp crash. Surely Reggie had to respond to 165 ft of advertising falling limp on NYC. How will future good businessmen know to handle airship emergencies on the 4th of July?
