    Columnist: Ninty Gets Some Blame For Crappy Wii Titles, Too

    So Reggie Fils-Aime popped off to Forbes this past week, saying developers should shoulder the blame for the shovelware rep richly earned by the Wii games lineup. Many third-party publishers don't get the Wii audience, Reggie said, and finger-pointed at publishers' reluctance to bring games that have done well on other consoles over to the Wii. More »

    Reggie Not That Keen On Disaster: Day Of Crisis

    Ever wonder why Disaster: Day of Crisis dropped off the map? Might be because it sucks. That's what Reggie's worried about, telling IGN that "he doesn’t think Disaster is a $50 game". Partly because the voice-over work and audio is "laughable". Good news for Americans is that Europe is being used as a guinea pig; if the game does well there (where it's already out), it'll be released in the US - presumably for less than $50 - if not, it won't be. Good to see Europe taking one for the team on this one! More »

    Nintendo Says "Thank You" For Watching Its E3 Press Conference

    E3 2008 is over. Finished. But Nintendo hasn't forgotten and is sending out thank you notes, thanking folks for attending its presser. The letter reads: "THANK YOU for attending our E3 media briefing. Nintendo aims to bring people engaging experiences...to make them smile...and we hope we provided you at least a little of that during our event." Below that, it's signed by Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime, vice president of corporate affairs Denise Kaigler and vice president of sales & marketing Cammie Dunaway. Regardless of what you thought of Nintendo's E3 press conference (eh...), classy of them to send out thank you notes.

    Just How Long Does A Wii Last On A Store Shelf, Anyways?

    Can't be long. And according to Reggie, it's not long at all. Speaking with Wired, the NoA boss has said that despite North America receiving 40% of the global allocation of Wii consoles, the average console is sitting on a retail shelf for around an hour before it's swooped up, thrown into a basket with Wii Play, and carried out of the store. To Nintendo, that's a success story, but if you're still waiting for a Wii 17 months after launch, it's a pain in the ass. Will knowing Reggie is "passionately upset about the lack of product relative to demand" help ease your pain? More »

    Wii To Catch 360 By June, Says Reggie

    Speaking to Bloomberg, NoA talisman Reggie Fils-Aime reckons that the 360's lead over the Wii in North America will disappear this year. And not just "this year", but by June. Which is not too far away! He reckons the launch of Super Smash Bros will be a big factor in this, and while I can't see the logic in that - surely the people who freaked out over every pointless Dojo update already have a Wii - the overall prediction seems watertight to anyone who's been looking at sales charts for the past 12 months.

    Wii Demand Making Future Planning Difficult

    Being Elvis seemed like a pretty great life. Rocking for thousands of adoring fans, "showing" a few your dressing room and then passing out on a firm pillow of half-eaten, fried peanut butter and banana and pill sandwiches. But when you're dealing with an insatiable public, it can be difficult to plan a more...sustainable...lifestyle than Elvis had. Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime explains my heavy-handed metaphor:
    The level of demand we are facing complicates all of our future business planning,...all of that becomes a much tougher exercise until we have supply and demand curves that intersect.
    Because too much peanut butter will stick your mouth clean shut and it becomes tough to speak at board meetings. More »

    Nintendo Wii May Get Voice Chat, But No VC Online Capability

    While the Wii isn't known for its particularly awesome online scene (*cough* friend codes *cough*), Nintendo is interested in improving the product. NOA President Reggie Fils-Aime said this morning during a conference call that while they have no interest in adding online multiplayer to Virtual Console titles, voice chat could be coming to the Wii all the same.
    We do not anticipate making online gameplay for Virtual Console games. In terms of voice chat... certainly our system has the capability for online voice chat, what it comes down to is finalizing the peripheral... I would not be surprised to see that capability come to this system.
    And finalizing a peripheral shouldn't be much of a problem, because Nintendo could easily add a Bluetooth headset...since the Wiimote already utilizes the wireless standard.

    Reggie On Third-Party Wii Game Quality

    While Nintendo's own titles have been almost uniformly amazing on the Nintendo Wii, third-party publishers have achieved mixed success, with truly stellar titles (Raving Rabbids, Zak and Wiki) few and far between. In the Nintendo conference call today, NOA President Reggie Fils-Aime details plans to help third-party companies achieve Ninetndo levels of quality.
    "On any system you will have a range of quality. Publishers are working extremely hard to take advantage of the Wii and it's unique abilities. Those publishers who do a great job enjoy fantastic sales. As publishers understand how to take advantage of the unique aspects of the remote you will see better and better games. We already have a certification program and publishers need to conform with a number of key aspects to get certified. What we don't do is have some sort of filter for quality, because quality is so subjective. Nintendo is working hand in glove with publishers to share with them our level of expertise with the technology."

    Nintendo Announces GameStop Wii Raincheck Program

    Having trouble getting a Wii this Holiday season? Nintendo feels your pain, and in the conference call that Crecente is currently liveblogging, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has promised relief for the console-hungry masses. On December 20th and 21st, hopeful Wii-owners will be able to pre-purchase a Wii at their local GameStop for guaranteed deliver by the end of January. $250 gets you the promise of a Wii by the end of next month, which for gamers who've been trying to get their hands on the system since its release a year ago should be more than enough of a Christmas present. Mind you that Reggie specified the offer is only good while supplies last, and while he assures us that there are "tens of thousands" of rain checks available it still most likely won't be enough. Come the 20th expect to see people lining up outside of GameStops across the country. It's like launch day all over again!

    Reggie-lution on Fox News

    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).

    Nintendo Says 200 Virtual Console Titles By Year's End

    During Nintendo's presentation at the BMO Capital Markets Conference, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime came armed with the stock slides the company loves to show any chance it gets. Typically, they involved plenty of bar graphs featuring a brightly colored column towering over every other column that doesn't have the word "Wii" underneath it. One of the slides, publicly presented by a NeoGAF member, shows Nintendo planning for some 200 Virtual Console titles available by the end of the year. More »
