Goodbye Reggie WHAT A LEGEND ❤️
Yeah
A podcaster back in 2007 said listening to Reggie talk is like being shat upon by a thousand donkeys.
what a, legend
@Hugo Azevedo why he retire soo young?
the nintendo ds for me, it was 2006 with magical starsign and sonic rush 1 then in 2007 sonic rush adventure man. both screens thats why the sonic games on the gba are great, but on nintendo ds? simply epic!
"My name is Reggie. I'm about kickin ass, I'm about taking names, and we're about makin games." Best line in any E3 press conference to date!
totally agree
I mean, I think in context Sony’s “$299” roast from 1995 was the best line ever
E3 has been shit since 2013
And im about making my body ready
Copat87 2020 and I can confirm
Thanks Mr. Iwata. Rest in peace
44:10 You know they mean business when Miyamoto comes out with the Master Sword
Glitchex64 "Bow down to your master"
39:47 Yea Nintendo invented the D-pad, portable gaming, analog sticks, rumble in your controllers, and touch screen gaming. People like to hate on them now because they're a little "behind the times" but man...they can do what they want. They've accomplished more in one lifetime than any other company in the industry combined up to this point.
I hate to break it to you, but Nintendo didn't invent most of that, they just did it better than anyone else.
Hamilton Porter dude, stop being pretentious. that's like saying apple didn't invent the smartphone because there were blackberries. everyone knows what I mean
Hamilton Porter They actually did invent the D-Pad with the Game & Watch.
I think they're still leading the trend like, PS4Pro or XboxOneX are inspired by the new 3DS. And I don't know whether Sony or MS will make something similar to the hybrid NSwitch
You’re absolutely right. Nintendo began a lot of things and other companies could only “improve” upon it.
Back e3 was about the people who play games,not the media attention
SO Nintendo goes and makes fun of it's competitors, states that a new console is in development, announces the DS and wraps it all up with the announcement of Twilight Princess. Wow... the don't do E3s like this anymore.
That's goddamn right! I want this Nintendo back!
TastyApple92 me too lol
I believe that Nintendo still has it in them to deliver E3s like this :)
true, if any company did that at an E3 today, people would be very... mad
Guy from 2019 here:
Nintendo’s won three E3’s in a row now.
This has got to be Nintendo's most epic press conference ever. DS reveal, tease of the Wii and a surprise Twilight Princess announcement with Miyamoto. And you can't forget introducing Reggie!
Reggie's retirement means he will be missed, but he seemed to strike a spark that I hope that Nintendo can continue on innovating and breaking the habits that the gaming industry have got into of late.
Edit: Also can't leave without saying anything about Iwata-san. He was a legend, and he too will be missed.
eh I like 2010 better by a smidge
To put into perspective, Nintendo’s E3 showing in 2003 was lukewarm at best. People were doubting GameCube had enough good games to match the PS2 or even Xbox’s and there was a lot of fixation with the GBA link cable with games that didn’t look too interesting. The 2004 presentation did a 180 on Nintendo’s image and to recapture gamers that felt too old for Nintendo.
It is there best by far
I think it’s universally considered one of the best video game conferences of all time. I can’t really think of another one that had this much spunk.
"I suppose I could give you a list of our technical specs... but I won't for a simple reason: they really don't matter. The time when horsepower alone made an important difference is over. From this time on we must create something more; unprescented experiences..."
Too fucking right! Damn, Satoru Iwata got it, it's sad to lose such a smart man who was clearly interested in guiding the medium to a more artistic, and overall more fun, place. Rest in peace.
***** I just said he said it and it was smart.
I didn't say humans were inclined to take good advice.
What he said applies even more today when consoles have become so samey and generic.
Reggie’s energy in his first public appearance here is just palpable. He is so passionate and enthusiastic. I feel like buying the DS all over again just listening to him. What a great conference
Yeah man I want that prototype DS, it will change the world
You *do* realize these corporation people are doing their job and reciting a script, one that was specifically written to try and manipulate you into giving them money?
I’m not sure what your point is. It’s no secret that these giant media events were always corporate hype machines. But for fans, they were also a fun time to enjoy reveals and sneak peaks.
@@AGoodVibe You were literally gushing over his appearance and said you were influenced to buy the product from the company. Even though you admit that it's just a fake script, just doing business, just trying to make money.
@@ShadowMan64572 This is literally business 101. You’re not special for noticing the fact that “it’s a company trying to sell a product”. What’s your point here? That this guy shouldn’t want to buy Nintendo products since Nintendo is a corporation that wants to make a profit? Give it a rest, lil bro.
Resident Evil 4, Metroid Prime 2, Twilight Princess, and Nintendo DS announcement, this is just the best Nintendo E3 for ever
otaku Essalhi I think E3 2002 was their best show, they had Metroid prime, Zelda wind waker, Super mario sunshine, Resident evil Zero, Starfox adventures, Animal crossing, Eternal darkness, Super monkey ball 2, Wario world and mario party 4. Those were just the gamecube exclusives.
SuperMagnum83 lol youre combining 2001 and 2002 e3 ....
Pam G why didn't the gamecube sell better?
@@SuperMagnum83 fairs
@@hggfhh4449 poor advertising like the wii u
34:50 Listen to that cheer for Wi-Fi compatibility lol.
rockerseven damn that’s gotta be real exciting for people back in 2004
For 2004, Wi-Fi compatibility really was something to cheer on about!
Damn Nintendo roasting Sony and Microsoft lol
ikr
This press conference is legendary
Agreed
2004 for video games as a whole was legendary. This press conference is reason number 242 why that is!
You already knew Reggie was going to be a legend.
When Miyamoto teases Twilight Princess and says "Link can't stand still, and neither can I" that's some clever lil Wii motion control foreshadowing!
This is the E3 that rose every fan's expectations to insane heights and is the reason why they were disappointed nearly every subsequent year. This is their best E3.
Yesss
There is a lot of win in this E3. But honestly, the main thing is that they had software to announce. When is the last time Nintendo has talked about two Mario games, a donkey kong, Pikmin, Metroid, and other second string games in ONE conference. That’s not even taking into account the reveal of a new piece of hardware.
Objectively, this is in fact the best E3 press conference of all time.
A bold claim
Personally my favorite is Sega's at E3 2000.
mine is 2017
Yessss
This was when Nintendo went beast mode.
Rest In Peace 岩田 聡 (Iwata Satoru)! Thanks for what you done for me and for all gamers!
The best E3 of all time. We got the ds,reggies famous speech,handhelds taking control of the market and at the end myamoto with a sword and shield announcing the grown up zelda we been waiting for. No other E3 comes close to the excitement. Back then people cheered like crazy,now at E3 its like a funeral.
Did you not watch Sony's E3 2013. They got a standing ovation lol crowd went crazy and oh the FFXV and KH3 reactions....yeah maybe no one cheers for Nintendo anymore since their conference's aren't as good as they used to be.
oh nice shot to the competition. oh man this was a great press conference. it reminds of back in the days when games were about fun and creativity. back when developers took risks and e3 was fun and about the gamers, not the media and investors. it seems like after 2005, the industry lost its magic, its creativity. much love and respect to the golden days of gamming. I miss those those days.
The DS truly changed the industry. The first iPhone did not come out until 2007. The DS pushed the touch screen into new skylines.
😂😂😂
@@michaelmyersplays4992 yea this guy is a kid. if he was around he would have known the psp was the legit best thing in the market for what it was.
@@ngqp legit man and it was ahead of it's time

DS became more successful. Everyone thought the DS would fail, but wrong
@@gtworldzhd4137 everyone thought the switch would fail.... they were wrong too.
"We’re not going to run our company just for hardcore gamers. There are gamers out there who aren’t as knowledgeable as you. Gamers who aren’t your age. Gamers who don’t have your tastes. Gamers who live for Mario, and Yoshi, and Pokemon. It's my job, it's Nintendo's job, to make sure we satisfy all the gamers."
This is what makes Nintendo great.
I got a magazine back in 2004 with a DVD of this e3 conference in it, and here I'm googling this 13 years later to watch it all over again, Nintendo fucking killed it.
Aw memories, I remember when the DS was first shown to the world - being blown away by the fact we were getting a new handheld on par with N64. Then I was shocked that the system was so affordable so soon, (DS Lite) and got the new Pokémon at the time. :3
Man I just wanted Ocarina of Time on it. Took maybe another 7 years to finally come into place.
Reggie was special for nintendo. Really miss him being the face of nintendo america
I fucking love the early 2000's
This is the first time I'm seeing this. Holy fuck why isn't Nintendo like this anymore?!
***** We can't keep getting hopeful year after year. They've changed their priorities, they've changed their strategies, and they've changed their core demographic. I don't expect any different this year, or the next.
Of course, I would love to be proven wrong :)
***** I wish you were right, but there are a few things I can't ignore:
1. The only gamer-appealing game they have coming up is Smash Bros. MK8 would be out before E3 so it's irrelevant. Correct me if I'm wrong but I can't think of any other game they've announced.
2. Once again they're not doing a conference, and instead doing a Nintendo Direct. Personally, I find everything to be much more exciting and appealing when it's live on a stage. Is it just me?
3. Even if the Wii U won't sell, they'll still be fine with the 3DS. So they don't HAVE to.
If they announce a new Metroid, I'll take back everything I said :)
NeatNit Zelda Wii U WILL be at this years E3. :)
Frank Sandqvist Well, alright, NOW you've got my hopes up :)
NeatNit As well as Hyrule Warriors, as well as Sonic Boom, and an unnamed new IP from Miyamoto. This E3 is shaping up to be something really great.
Who else is hyped for this in 2017?
i
Im already hyped for 2018 :O
And now 2019 :oooo
Just proof of how amazing the DS is, and how great of spokespeople Reggie, Iwata, and Miyamoto are. Not to mention the great games they showed off!
We will never see anything like this ever again. With Nintendo merging their Handheld and Home divisions, they are focused on Switch now and it's variants. We won't ever get a pocket sized handheld ever again....Switch being handheld is nice and all, but I can't fold it up and fit it in my pocket like the 3DS.
28:55 Epic Line from Reggie.
This was Reggie's gaming presentation debut with a major bang.
"My name is Reggie. I'm about kicking ass. I'm about taking names. And we're about making games."
That was also the only time a Nintendo employee swore during a presentation to my knowledge
I recently got a DS for my wife. I gotta say so far I loved Ultimate MK3 in it because the top screen shows the list of moves and fatalities of your character. I've never been good at memorizing that kind of stuff so it's great to have it at hand to use it.
Reaction to Prime Hunters running on the DS and the Twilight Princess reveal are just...Legendary...
Thank you Reggie!
Thanks for everything, Reggie.
I rewatched this cuz it was awesome (and the testimonials are hilariously old school) but seeing everyone look so young and energetic made me sad. Then Iwata came on and I had to pause for a minute :(
Why young people make you sad?
They all old now is what makes me sad. And Iwata's dead :(
well its the law of life
Im n ot a kid im 20 but a i have my first nintendo console (new 3ds xl) so i will enjoy
Greetings :D
i feel the same... sad hi five
oh man, Reggie laid the smack down back in the day. can't help but appreciate the guy.
He had to entertain gamers somehow I would do the same thing if I was in his place
Legendary.GOAT.Unforgettable. This was an incredible E3 show and one I remember watching live on Gamespot from my dorm room in a tiny, fuzzy, little window and it didn’t matter, it was still incredible. What a time
Thank you, Reggie. Thank you. 👏👏👍👍
With the announcement of E3 being permanently gone, this will by far be one of the best memories I have for E3 history.
This conference started so much... brings a tear to my eye
This is the Nintendo I grew up with and want always
Every year, 1 month before E3, I marathon all the previous E3 presentations... 2004 for Nintendo is always one of my favorites :)
That time of year again
Brad Bailey Haha
You are a true fan
he was so young...but he didn't know that his body was already ready since the beginning
this video hits on whole other level since listening to the audiobook. big recommend
One of the best E3 by far!
Omg i was so young then, i dont think i had anyway to watch any E3 videos. But Nintendo was really thinking ahead and for all kind of gamers. I remember the first Pokemon game i played. It was years after the release of Pokemon Ruby but weirdly enough, I wasnt aware that there were any Pokemon games on gba. I had my dad buy me Pokemon Ruby, that was probably the most excitement i ever had before playing and after playing a game. Thank you Nintendo for making my childhood much sweeter. And currently for making my day brighter.
Reggie kicking ass, Mr. Iwata roasting the high-specs lovers, and Mr. Miyamoto speaking english for once. Holy cow this shit was legendary!!! :O
Beautiful speech by Reggie
This was when nintendo was hardcore and even stood to playstation without fear.
fabienzaca This was panic mode Nintendo , they were getting their butts kicked by Sony and had to pull every rabbit out of their hat.
+FORTHELOLZ003 Fuck off , you don't know shit.
JuicyPlayer Panic mode Nintendo is the best Nintendo. They've been trying to go all out with the Switch after the Wii U.
Zack Egg and you know what? It's freaking working. They are back after 10+ years since this E3
A sign of the times...
The hype and excitement behind the DS being wifi compatible
That’s because this was still during the dial up days when WiFi wasn’t that common
@@Parappadarappa2 less than half of the American population was on cable internet in 2004
38:40 when Iwata starts speaking reminds me of Pedro's speech in Napoleon Dynamite.
Everything about gaming back then was great
Seriously, this is one of the best things I've ever watching. Just watch this all the way through. Its the best. Oh Nintendo.
I love how nintendo straight up mentions sony and psp and ps2, these days company's are scared to do that they only hint at it
Nintendo got soft now
BEST E3!!! Ton of games and new announcements!
The 2004 E3 of Nintendo was absolutely epic
One of the most important E3 conferences in gaming history
Wow, just look at that game reveal line up we had for Nintendo. What a time to be alive for gaming.
Will we ever see release line-ups this clutch, ever again?
dude this was 17 years ago why do I feel hyped from this
Who is here after reading his incredible book?
I am!
Me!
I'm here to pay respects. So long, Reggienator.
2004 welcome home Reggie to Nintendo
RESPECT！！！
I came here after gamescom 2022 and I wanna say 2004 was great year
I will miss Reggie...
The best video game press conference in History!
20 Years Ago was when this legendary event happened, wow. I still remember reading the highlights about if from gaming magazines then, mostly talking about how much of a badass Reggie was and calling out the other journalists in the audience who started crying when the Twilight Princess trailer played hahaha.
ahh the ds, I remember being so excited for it.
So much more information for the shareholders back then
Best E3 EVER
Agreed
“I’m not Link, but I do know him.” What a legend
2018 and it's still dope as fuq
This Nintendo at their best. I can only hope this year's E3 is this awesome. Heaven knows the Wii U needs it.
2021 here we go 👊
Rest in peace, Mr. Iwata
After Microsoft buying all the different studios nowadays, Reggie's speech hits different now!
33:12
voice recognition programs = blowing into microphone.
Hahaha
45:10 That zoom-in made me laugh, I've never watched the conference with that angle before lol
That ending!!!!! :')
'We're giving the players what they want and they're rewarding us with more market share. Funny how that works'
Yes that's really funny how that works isn't it?
*cough* Color Splash *cough*
What gamers really want a android gaming tablet device on the go with detachable controllers on the sides.
Adrian Bingham You sound a bit bitter, I'm guessing you're not happy with the Switch?
I know there are gaming tablets on the market this isn't a new idea or anything, you can even play them on your TV with a bluetooth controller like a console. But there is a lot of untapped potential there to really bring what gamers want (a portable gaming tablet on the go) to the table. You could even play such a console on a plane, in the back of a camper van, while your walking your dog or bring one to a party where you could some off the latest Super Mario game. Could you imagine how well Nintendo would do if they made and marketed a console such as this?
Adrian Bingham If they can get that third party support, have a good battery life, and give it a good launch lineup, then they'll sell gangbuster numbers
Damn, competition was rough back then!
Reggie was the best ❤️
Best E3 ever!!
So weird how old school E3 press conferences were more aimed at stock holders or something. Going on and on about market share and percentage of software sold over the last quarter. All that talk almost made this legendary conference bomb.
I still remember when I got the first ds back in 2006 it was the fat silver one, then 6 months later the touch screen went funny and I got the lite
This brings back loads of memories, me and my friends always used to play bark mode on the dog game lol
Nintendo's best E3 HANDS DOWN!!
Naahh, thats 2006.
Delicious delicious bar graphs and pie charts. Good times
Reggie's body was most ready at this E3.
This is the Nintendo I miss :(
looking forward to the Switch!
30:51 "Here's a brand new Metroid game playing on Nintendo DS!"
*cheering*
31:03 "The same way you'll be playing it tomorrow!"
*cheering intensifies*
31:18 "Just tap the screen where you want to fire!"
*the crowd briefly considers turning into an angry mob*
if only they knew back then how well the DS would do...
Wow, nintendo doesnt call out its competitors directly like this anymore
44:15 he was so full of life back then :’D
Hype!!!!!
Definitely the best E3
43:31 *Insert Hype screams here*
Wow. Metroid was actually a big IP for Nintendo at this time. Today... Other M and Federation Force. That's sad.
LOOK AT EM NOW SON!!!!!!!!!
NostalgiaFactor yup, metriod is back, and nintendo (I can't believe it either but) THEY ARE BACK!!!
😂😂😂😂😂😂
THEYRE BACK BABYYY
2004: Where the fonts were terrible and the games were better (well, Nintendo's anyway...)
