Reggie will show “a new look at an upcoming Wii U game” at VGX
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 57 Comments
A new press release sent out by Spike TV reconfirms Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime’s appearance at VGX 2013 this weekend. He’ll be “presenting a new look at an upcoming Wii U game.”
Is that a reference to an already-announced Wii U game? Or something brand new? The announcement doesn’t say, though the wording sort of points to the former.
VGX 2013 will air this Saturday at 6 PM ET / 3 PM PT.

Random thoughts: Off-TV play is a fantastic feature
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Features, Videos, Wii U | 8 Comments
Some of you may remember my short-lived series of features (well, two) for Nintendo Everything known as “Rambling Thoughts”. It was mainly a means for me to share a few thoughts about a random topic.
For a few months now, I’ve been thinking about bringing that series back, but in brief video form. And that brings us to the topic at hand today: “Random Thoughts”.
Similar in name and purpose as Rambling Thoughts, I’m introducing Random Thoughts as a potential new feature for the site. Depending on how the first video is received, there could be more. Or maybe this will be the only one. We’ll see!
I’ve been working on this first one – again, for a several months – as I tried to determine what the best format was. I admittedly was thinking about scrapping the idea altogether at a few different points, in part because this is something completely out of my comfort zone. I also wasn’t sure if I had the voice/personality for this kind of thing.
But after I showed the first video to a few people, they convinced me to share it with you all. It’s nothing fancy, though hopefully you’ll enjoy it. I did put a heck of a lot of work into it! If you don’t like it, feel free to let me know. I’ll be thankful that you watched it in any case! If nothing else, you now have some evidence that I’m not a robot, and not just some person operating behind the scenes. And you’ll get to hear my voice. Hopefully you won’t mind it – Austin knows I’ve been incredibly harsh on how I sound.
