Nintendo of America is currently meeting with a group of fans at the company’s headquarters as part of an “#ImWithReggie TweetUp” event. It seems that before the gaming demos kicked off, Reggie shared a few words with the attendees. Here’s a roundup of what was said:

– Reggie said Mr. Sakurai might consider adding him to Super Smash Bros. if 100,000 fans sign the petition
– Pokemon X/Y are about equal in terms of sales, but Reggie thinks X will end up selling more
– Reggie: Wii Remote was an innovation that opened up gaming to multiple generations
– Nintendo will continue with some Year of Luigi stuff in 2014
– Reggie says he would have never imagined the Wii Remote when he joined Nintendo
– Reggie: Don’t know what hardware will look like in the future, but our games will make you smile
– Reggie: We’re aware of fan wishes but have to do what’s best for the company
– VGX appearance won’t be recorded; no hints as to what’s in store
– Reggie has a 3DS in each of his back pockets, one of which is the gold XL

Activision has already released a trilogy of games for the Angry Birds franchise. Now the publisher seems to be doing the same with Cut the Rope.

Although Activision hasn’t made an official announcement just yet, a rating appeared on the OFLC earlier today for “Cut the Rope Trilogy”. Exient Entertainment is developing the compilation – the same studio behind Angry Birds Trilogy on 3DS and the recently-released Angry Birds Star Wars.
