Reggie Fils-Aimé reflects on Nintendo's console past and video gaming's future

[Æon]

A few months before everything shut down in March 2020, one of the last VIPs I saw in person was former Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aimé. We shook hands at the New York Game Awards, an award show put on by a charity organization that helps students in The Bronx learn about game design. Fils-Aimé, better known as Reggie to his fans, is a Bronx native and on the charity's board of directors.


Disrupting The Game, his new book released in May, covers his years at Nintendo as well as his path from the Bronx to a life in business and marketing. I've connected with Fils-Aimé many times throughout his time at Nintendo and spoke to him again recently about the book, Nintendo's past and the future of gaming.

You can watch the full video interview, but I've also excerpted key comments from our conversation below...
