Reggie on what separates 3DS and Switch, says price will influence purchasing decision
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Switch | 49 Comments
Nintendo currently has two big products on the market: Switch and 3DS. Things were made more complicated last night when the 2DS XL was announced, which is another product for consumers to consider.
That being said, Nintendo of America Reggie Fils-Aime stressed to The Wall Street Journal that the “experience is a bit different.” Ultimately, “the decision to buy one Nintendo device over another likely will come down to price.”
As Reggie explained:
“The gaming experience is a bit different. The Switch is more powerful than the 2DS and 3DS machines, and has other hardware differences. A key one: a DS is smaller than the Switch tablet, making it easier to fit into a pocket or backpack. For many consumers, the decision to buy one Nintendo device over another likely will come down to price. At $299, a Switch costs about double a new 2DS XL. Having multiple Switches is expensive.”

Reggie: 3DS announcements at E3 and beyond, support into 2018, acknowledges Virtual Console interest
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 85 Comments
Nintendo has once again reaffirmed its commitment to 3DS. If last night’s reveal of the New 2DS XL wasn’t enough, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime promises that more game announcements are in the pipeline – including some for E3.
Reggie told IGN:
“We will certainly be announcing new titles for the 3DS platform, and we’ll do that continuously. Some things that will be announced at E3. There will be some that we announce after E3. For us, E3 is an important event but it’s not the one defining moment. Obviously with Nintendo Direct, we’ve created means to speak directly to our consumer base. We want to provide news and information when we believe it’s most relevant.”

Reggie on how Nintendo handles production, New 2DS XL supply won’t be an issue
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Switch | 15 Comments
The NES Classic Edition was tough to find ever since it launched towards the end of last year. Nintendo didn’t help the situation by announcing its discontinuation. In light of that, The Verge asked Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime about how Nintendo determines how many units of a product to make.
He said:
“We create a plan, we build our programs against that plan. But based on what we see in the marketplace we make adjustments, and we go from there.”
Regarding Switch, Reggie confirmed that Nintendo did indeed increase production following the early response.
