Reggie on the importance of The Game Awards
At almost every edition of The Game Awards, Nintendo has been involved in a big way. Aside from 2015, the company has always brought at least one new thing to the show.
Reggie briefly talked with L.A. Times about the importance of The Game Awards. Speaking with the publication, Reggie noted how it’s important “to step back and recognize the incredible artistic achievements that bring joy to millions of people worldwide”, and the event “is our way of recognizing the fun and beauty of video games, along with the talented people who create them.”
Reggie said:
“Like the best books, movies and music, video games can have complex characters, tell interesting stories or simply provide fun, escapist entertainment. It’s appropriate for us to step back and recognize the incredible artistic achievements that bring joy to millions of people worldwide. The Game Awards is our way of recognizing the fun and beauty of video games, along with the talented people who create them.”
Nintendo once again had a big presence at The Game Awards this year. Zelda: Breath of the Wild DLC was featured, along with Bayonetta 3 (not to mention the previous two Bayonetta games for Switch).
