La notizia dell’abbandono della carica di presidente di Nintendo of America da parte di Reggie Fils-Aime (da aprile 2019) è stata diffusa dallo stesso Reggie soltanto da poche ore, ma ha già raggiunto l’intera industria videoludica, che è rimasta “sconvolta” nell’apprendere ciò!
Molti dei volti noti tra publisher e studi di sviluppo sono intervenuti sui propri profili Twitter per dedicare un pensiero e un saluto all’amatissimo collega, che è sempre stato apprezzato da tutti, che si tratti di amici o di “nemici”. Di seguito i tweet che abbiamo raccolto, tra cui quelli di Phils Spencer e Cory Barlog:
All the best to Reggie Fils-Aime on the next phase of his life and career. Great leader, industry partner and friend.

I spoke with Reggie today and let him know how much he means to me and the entire games industry. It was an emotional conversation. Reggie leaves Nintendo in one of its strongest positions in history. He will always have a front row seat at @thegameawards Thank you Reggie!

Here's a picture of Reggie playing Super Meat Boy on Wii. He said "I'm buying this with my own Wii points, I'm serious guys". Pretty sure he ended up with it on WiiU and Switch. Happy retirement my dude! @NintendoAmerica pic.twitter.com/O3DaAc0WuY

Enjoy a well deserved rest, my friend. Thanks for everything you did for gaming.
I am super jealous. Please sleep in and do as little as possible so I can live vicariously through your retirement. ❤️ https://t.co/vhXMVqGSas

Many of you know I am a huge fan of Nintendo (since a kid!). Over the last 15 years Reggie Fils-Aime has done a great job. I'm sad to see him retire, but also happy for him to spend more time with his family. Thank you for great entertainment. https://t.co/BJaHDdfSdx
