Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime Blames You For Being Unimpressed At E3

If you didn't think Nintendo hit it out of the park at E3, that isn't Nintendo's fault. It's yours. Such was the message in a recent Kotaku interview with the man at the top of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime, who called gamers "insatiable." He feels that no matter what, they won't be pleased. He was responding to the criticism the company faced at the big trade show earlier this month.

Fils-Aime was quoted as saying, "One of the things that, on one hand, I love and, on the other hand, that troubles tremendously about not only our fanbase but the gaming community at large is that, whenever you show information, the perspective is: 'Thank you, but I want more. Thank you, but give me more.' ... "For years this community has been asking, 'Where's Pikmin? Where's Pikmin? Where's Pikmin?' We give them Pikmin. And then they say: 'What else?' For years this community has said: 'Dammit Reggie, when you launch, you better launch with a Mario game'. So we launch with a Mario game, and they say, 'So, what's more?'"

What could be the most exciting part of the Wii U – Nintendo's new online Miiverse network – was only briefly touched on. We know that the new Mario game will sell millions of Wii U units, but so did Super Mario Galaxy and New Super Mario Bros Wii. Those weren't the problem with the Wii. It was attracting the hardcore gamer and getting decent third-party content that caused problems.
