SmashU
E3 2014 is when Nintendo pulled back the curtain on Super Smash Bros, and they did so with a video that has to be seen to be believed. Say what you will about Nintendo, only they would do something as ridiculously awesome as kick off their presentation by having the President of their American department physically fight Satoru Iwata, the overall President of the company.
Reggie Meets Yokai
Nintendo first kicked off the Yokai Watch brand late last year, and promoted the release by getting Reggie involved. Some of the creatures have the ability to possess people, and Reggie finds out first hand as they put his body through the ringer. Who would’ve thought he could dance like that?
Honoring a Friend
The world was deeply affected when Satoru Iwata passed away last year. While Nintendo and Reggie gave a statement shortly after his passing, it’s Reggie’s speech at the Game Awards that brought home a strong message.
Muppet Mayhem
If you thought Reggie going up against Iwata at E3 2014 was something ridiculously cool, Nintendo did something even more bizarre for last year by kicking things off with Muppet versions of both men, plus Shigeru Miyamoto. It’s silly to be sure, especially when Reggie stops his rep count at Nintendo 64 and says his “puppet body is ready,” but at the same time… c’mon, you laughed super hard. … Right?
Are You Ready?
You all knew it was coming. The meme to end all memes, what will surely go down as the thing that’ll immortalize him for generations to come. Don’t worry about why it’s funny, just… just enjoy it. Enjoy Reggie.
Happy 55th, Reggie. Here’s hoping for another 55 years of awesomeness, both at Nintendo and in your own life.
