I've never watched the new Fox News Channel. But if this interview with Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime is any indication, I don't need to watch. The interviewer can hardly say Reggie's title (chief operating officer) and she talks about how it's exceeding "anticipation" (I think she meant expectation). My favorite part, though, is when they post the Super Mario Galaxy metacritic at the bottom of the screen (a 96).

She was overwhelmed by Reggie's aura.
It's currently 97, I guess a few more hundreds came in.
Reggie should have torn his shirt off, ripped his pants, pounded his fists on his big green chest and crushed that reporter. Just like he did to that schoolbus full of fourth graders that one time.
It has Super Merry-o! And the wiimote makes magic happen on the screen. Hooray!
Nice pun at the beginning... jerks.
You must remember that Fox is not a real news channel. Things become more clear after you are made aware of that.
Ah, Reggie Fils-A-Lame.
I hate when Mario comes out "Marry-oh".
That woman is a moron.
Calling both consoles the DS, was a beautifully done.
Personally I hate business chats when a company is doing well, it's very hard to avoid the smugness. I think Reggie just about pulled it off, even with that retarded bint getting everything wrong...
Why does Reggie disturb me so? The way he smiles, the way he talks... terrifying!
Maybe paranoid of me. Is there a chance that Geoff Keighley is actual Crenente? They are both down under. And Crenente is work-o-holic...
Did she just call it the Revolution? Ugh.
Oh and that pun, it was NOT good.
At the risk of sounding like a ballhugger, your interviews with Reggie were always mo betta.
Especially racing him in go-kart!
This reminds me of a friend's younger brother. He was supposed to be learning to read with those children's books. Instead of actually reading, he just made up his own story to go along with the pictures.
Fox news is garbage. The most backwards idiotic media outlet known to man... If you aren't from Backwoods USA odds are you already know this.
@Komrade_Kayce: Is that it? Is it because he looks like Andre the Giant? Is it because he looks like he could put my forearm between his teeth and just pulverize the bone with the great teeth (teeth that would fit in a some herbivourous dionsaur's mouth) of his?
FOX asses.
So the Nintendo DS sold 13.2, and the handheld version sold 53 million.
By handheld version, does she mean the DSLite? Cuz the original DS was a beast!
I guess he can be, but is it me or does Reggie always seem like the smarmiest most cocky guy ever? Every time I see him on film I get this huge burning desire to punch him in the face...
Ahh Fox News, where watching for 5 minutes will lower your IQ quicker than being beaten with a cinder block.
He seems like a real meat head to me. His talents would be better suited as being a full time Halo/Madden Super FAN.
"...where you're able to navigate through a galaxy of... excitement!"
I love you, Reggie.
She's fumbling her words because she obviously has the hots for Reggie.
I'd really like to hear Reggie talk about food. Seriously, the man can make anything sound good.
@PearceShea:
Reggie is a creepy dude. Have you seen former Nintendo President Hiroshi Yamauchi? He is also has an eerie Peter Lorie vibe. Nintendo is not short on ugly people.
@Komrade_Kayce:
He did that to my kitten... :(
I haven't heard "MARRY-oh" since my mother used to refer to any home console as a "Nintendo".
@balls187: Wii's at 13.2, and the DS, Both Phat and lite, are at 53 mil.
Anybody else watch "Cavemen"? All I have to say is Reggie is a shaver.
@thebluick:
Its because he always deals with small, little people, compared to himself. He was probably thinking in his brain 'I could crush her head like a melon if I wanted to' the whole interview.
He gets the same look around Miyamoto. Its why whenever the little japanese men are up on stage with him, they always huddle together at least five feet away at all tines.
Well Geoff, Ya she stumbled saying Reggie's title (chief operating officer) on live TV, but you can't even tell which channel you are watching because this in NOT Fox News Channel but the new Fox Business Network.
Can someone tell me what the hell this "Super Mary-oh Galaxy" game is? :P
They didn't even mention U R MR GAY?!
@KaneTaker: Somebody watches Cavemen?
Reggie should have crushed that interviewer like a paper cup for her insolence.
@thegreatseal:
They did, just by it's wrong name XD
Why does everyone hate Fox News so much. They're all the same out there and Fox beats everyone in ratings. Who cares what network Reggie's on. And btw, it's the Fox Business Channel. You guys are such haters.
@Heliophage:
Lol, my parents used to be the same way. Every system was a Nintendo.
That pun would have been better if it was a penis joke.
its fills aim
What kind of ridiculous accent does she have?
What a terrible interview.
"where you're able to navigate a galaxy of...of... excitement!"
@blazinnoni: Because they cater to ignorant redneck America? :)
Faux News is pretty much the news network for idiots.
Side Note: I think it's funny how everyone's saying they hate it when people say "merry-oh" because that's how Geoff Keighley says it!
I had to turn it off right after he said "now WE go over to Alexis for some Wii" ..I think I got the gist of the interview.
I bet she was afraid that Reggie was gonna eat her.
@AnotherGamer:
Is that so?
I guess this marks a turning point in your life, Geoff! MAH-ree-Oh!
"I know you wanna go global"...
Does she even know that Wii is a Japanese product? I bet she thinks it's American made and Reggie is the boss of it all.
@Sans_Virtue: As weird as it sounds, Cavemen is friggin hilarious. If you can, find it and watch it. Theirs an episode where this really successful business councilor looks...well, a lot like Reggie. He's a Caveman that shaves his body hair and beard to look human. Trust me, its funny.
@0starter0: Yeah but who cares. Why not just be happy that we've reached to a point where games can't be ignored on such mediums out there.
I just realized this is Geoff Keighley's posting. Shame on you, dude. As a journalist, you shouldn't even be biased like everyone else. Not everyone on Fox News may be great but they're obviously doing something right being to be so successful at what they do.
She was annoying. Typical news channel shilling though.
I'm British and I've also said "Marry-oh".
"Merry-oh" would make me sound like a prick.
I don't want to exacerbate that situation.
@Raziel3333: I bet he did, afterwards.
@brello: Exactly! I've never heard "Jumpman" say: "It's-a me... Merry-o!"
Why do they even bother with putting text on the bottom of the screen, they know perfectly well that most of their viewers can't read, and those that can only read the stock ticker in between listening to the talking heads telling them who they're supposed to hate today.
i dont know why, but to me, i see Reggie Fils-Aime as the rich,spoiled,jock-type in every bad 80's movie known to man.
his personality really doesn't do nintendo justice , although i guess he is a nice breath of fresh air when it comes to the faces of the gaming industry (if the fresh air is anywhere near a cars exhaust pipe.)
My favorite line: "how big is the Nintendo revolution going to be this season" ... haha I love that line :) Almost makes you forget that they renamed it the Wii (which I noticed by the way that nearly everyone has come to accept, despite so much initial uproar.
Lady has some sexy legs ;)
