Nintendo is listening to its fans, says Reggie

In an interview with GameDaily, Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime insists that despite criticism from some quarters, Nintendo listens to its fans “all the time.”

“We listen to our fans all the time,” said Reggie when confronted.

“Nintendo fans are some of the most passionate in the world, and believe me, they make their opinions heard. We’re not claiming our way of doing things is better or worse than anyone else – it’s just different,” he added.

“We listen very closely to what people have to say, both pro and con, and keep those feelings in mind as we plan ahead.”

They’re listening… they’re just not hearing.

As a former Nintendo fan, who owned almost every single Nintendo console from the NES up to the Gamecube, (I even bought a Wii, but not for me!) I think its clear that Nintendo are definitely listening to their fans.

The only problem is that their fans are now middle aged mums and dads.

Listen, I have never given a shit about Nintendo.

But everyone, one of these years will be blown away by a core game blowout. I am sure.
