Many of you know I am a huge fan of Nintendo (since a kid!). Over the last 15 years Reggie Fils-Aime has done a great job. I'm sad to see him retire, but also happy for him to spend more time with his family. Thank you for great entertainment. https://t.co/BJaHDdfSdx

I spoke with Reggie today and let him know how much he means to me and the entire games industry. It was an emotional conversation. Reggie leaves Nintendo in one of its strongest positions in history. He will always have a front row seat at @thegameawards Thank you Reggie!
