Nintendo E3 2004 Press Conference (Event) - Part 1 of 4 

I'm about kicking ass, taking names, and were about making games. CLASSIC.

Here to give thanks to Reggie as he retires.

8:00 *listen to the guy say “yeah”* this was the first dude to realize how awesome Reggie is. Please find this man and give him an award.

Reggie said "ass"... Nintendo used to be okay with the word ass? Bring back this Nintendo please.

Thank you for everything Reggie.

My name is Reggie I'm about kicking ass I'm about taking names and we're about making game s

Kind of sad to see this now.

1:35 is the Reggie moment that you were looking for.

E3 will never be the same, it still has some magic left in it. But these slightly amateurish displays of borderline cheesy dialogue and early 2000's presentation quality were just filled with so much charm and magic, it was a special time.

Why isn't nintendo like this anymore.

This is when our Lord and Savior Reggie was created.

Here after his retirement, we’ll miss you. Our bodies will always be Reggie

Donald Trump based his presidential campaign on this press conference

That resident evil trailer is awesome

Resident evil 4 is a fucking masterpiece

Here after reading Reggie’s book “Disrupting the Game”. Good read about his time at Nintendo and he also talks about his early life and other jobs that led up to him getting recruited at Nintendo. The man was the son of immigrants and grew up poor, really worked his way up. Also a good book for anyone interested in business as he offers a lot of tips and anecdotes. Reggie really has a passion for games and it shows. I would highly recommend giving it a read/checking out the audiobook. Big ups and respect to a Legend!!!

I'm watching this in June 1996

Who's here after Nintendo announced that Reggie was retiring?

I remember watching this on livestream and thinking this man would mark an important era of Nintendo. I hope he’s enjoying his retirement playing lots of good games.

some of these trailers look like an edgy 8 year old had too much fun with Powerpoint.

Here’s to you Reggie Thank you

I came back to see this after seeing Reggie retire

Dude Oh the golden years!! Such a legend, have no words that can say how much appreciated I am to have Reggie and Satoru Iwata (RIP) give me the most amazing years of my childhood.

"He with the best games, wins." Truer words have never been spoken for this industry. I just hope Nintendo can make more games so the Wii U survives.

i still dont get how the gamecube sold so bad compared to the Wii when we talk about games

Reggie is fucking awesome.

"Always been that way, always will" Maybe that's where Microsoft went wrong with the heavy emphasis on TV watching this year...

This feels like the Apple turnaround when Steve Jobs came back with the company. I felt like Satoru Iwata passing was also like Steve Jobs passing. Luckily, Mr. Iwata's legacy has lived on and given Nintendo hope for the future of console and handheld gaming. Nintendo is so a wonderful company.

Those were the good days...

im going to miss him

Reggie is really the guy that brought me back to Nintendo. So I’m glad to have seen and experienced him when I could.

Reggie's first appearance almost feels the same as his last

Microsoft needs to watch this again. It’s why there getting there ass kicked. Sony has so much momentum it’s not even funny 😆 Microsoft is just promising, but not acting 😂 “ He who has the best games wins” EPIC quote. XBOX is history 🤣

It's funny that what Nintendo did in 2004 they need to repeat in 2014. Here's to hoping they have an epic E3 this year.

We all loved reggie when he said "Im about kicking ass, taking names and were about making names"

Reggie used to be more agressive in his first years, "kicking ass" haha

I'm glad the console wars era kinda faded the more these companies started intergrating accessibility and collaboration... but man do I miss the competitive atmosphere that challenged them to be better. Now every bad decision, every studio closed or games cancelled is just accepted as industry flaw. Back then, if Xbox would close Tango and Arkane Austin, Nintendo and Sony would be at the frontlines calling them out for it. Now they just sit there in silence. No beef, no PR shade, no consequences. Just another day in our 'artistic' industry.

Still the best Resident Evil trailer.

Thank you Reggie. You made my childhood. Here is a personal time stamp. 1:36

The new Nintendo is fucking horrible, bring this one back please

6:54 why did they take Luis´s mustache off in the final version of RE 4? looked cool.

Reggie talks so much sense. Love the guy. Love his trash-talking of Microsoft and Sony as well.

10:17 They did indeed have momentum. We got the ds and wii just a few years later

I’m gonna miss you, Reggie....

It has been now 10 years since 2004 when Reggie Fils-Aime and Satoru Iwata first appeared to work on Nintendo and 10 years in 2014 I'm so glad that there're still there! =D

Who’s watching after finding out Reggie’s Retiring

1:34 the legend is born

The best trailer was Resident Evil 4.

I love how the first part is not alot of talking just down to the games

"He with the most games wins" ~ Reggie Take that Microsoft

im old as crap. i vividly remember this E3.

I was 5 years old when this E3 was going on. Now that i'm 23 I can say this. I miss this version of Nintendo. In fact I miss the 6th gen in general. I grew up with GBA SP, GameCube, and PS1/2. I also miss CRT TVs as my family had both the bubble versions and flat screen versions of CRT TVs. I grew up with a princess CRT TV with DVD and VHS attachment.and had it until 2010 when the whole house had upgraded to flat screens. Anyway I miss the 6th gen it was a Middle ground of modern and retro. Retro ideals ( DLC that actually added to the game instead of completing the game, no constant updates , no updating the consoles, no predatory microtransactions or lote boxes, and fantastic games that released back to back in a single year or 2 and not taking 10 + years to produce " looking at you GTA5 and Skyrim and your constant ports to next gen consoles" and overall variety from AAA developers.) Miss this era of gaming.

This was easily Nintendo's best E3 ever. Metroid, RE4, DS, Zelda. If they had shown a new Mario I would have shit myself.

I remember seeing this from a dvd with e3 recap videos that was sold with a magazine...i laughed so hard at the part he was saying "we're not this and that company"...us old school gamers know pretty well what kind of company you were in the past...and now look at the company they are now....

I wish the Nintendo of today was the Nintendo of 2004....

"It's all about the game." -Sgt. Ernie Calhoun

The MAN, the MYTH, the BODYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

5:20 :) nobody knew what that game was till resident evil 4 flashed on screen haha brilliant

Reggie ... taking dem names ... will be missed 🖤 Hard to imagine now talking about figures and numbers, any games company would be booed off stage.

Reggie Reggie Reggie Reggie

Resident Evil 4!!!!!!

15 years later he's about taking brakes sadly

When Nintendo cared about Metroid and Star Fox

Reggie taking shots at Sony and Microsoft. Love it.

Nintendo was delusional thinking they could be "close" to Sony. PS2 was a behemoth. It was definitely a technically better console in many regards but they truly hated Sony. I mean, Nintendo created this beast we still have today. If they only did business like real businessmen, not backstabbing and humiliating your partner. They truly did that to Sony and then Sony went and created one of the best consoles to ever exist. PlayStation. It was downhill for Nintendo after that. Business wise. Not talking impact, games or my opinions of actually using the consoles. Just talking business as they did in here.

the Nintendo difference

I believe Reggie almost became president of MTV during the 90s. Went to VH1 instead! Awesome!

"...as long as you do it on THEIR operating system." Well. I don't remember Nintendo making games for PC or Playstation at that time. :p

Absolute legend. Thank you for everything Mr. Fils-Amie, all the best for you on your well deserved retirement.

This was when Nintendo was still hardcore...

The Regginator!

Came here after discovering about Reggie's retirement. Nostalgic :')

20 years ago!

Like anybody cares about financial performance. The gamers care about games

From 2019

At least I got one point, haha. I happen to like Smash Bros. though (and fighting games in general). I have to admit that the Wii has a MASSIVE library of shit, where the Wii's actual good games get lost in.

George.... .... Harrison........

Funny how he hints at the Wii(Nintendo Revolution) in this. Talking about casual gamers also being important to them like hardcore. Did anyone ever see it coming at the time?

We will miss you Reggie...thanks for the 15 years of happiness (even though they weren't all as great)

Skyward Sword, Pandora's Tower, Xenoblade Chronicles, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, MadWorld... any bells ringing?

Does anybody know the name of the song during the Resident Evil 4 preview?

The last great Nintendo E3 Presentation! EPIC!

Nice game windows movie maker font Nintendo!

And now he's retiring this April...

Why do I keep watching this on 2019?

Yeah, because Nintendo is doing sooo much good for the gaming world right now, other than "innovating" horrible ideas for the casual market and putting out hundreds of boring lame-ass shovelware titles. Hey Nintendo, I"m a serious gamer thats been with you since NES, feel like making anything for me and the other thousands just like me that got you where you are?? No?? Ok, well f_ _k you then. How you doin Sony? I'm looking forward to my future in gaming with you.

George Harrison from the beatles makes an appearance

Como me gustaria retroceder en el tiempo, ese seria el titulo para este video.

Im a nintendo fan all the way. But yea nintendo has lost there creatvitie, and innovative new grafics that each new console used to have. But why is everyone bragging about sony here? The playstation is shit i would ratter a XBOX. But i think the gamecube or 64 was the most innovative console miss them days

I'm reading Reggie's book and he mentions this speech in chapter 10. He wasn't kidding when he said he was aggressive in this presentation!

Such badassness, undermined by tiny game discs! Ugh the GameCube was so dope yet so nope in terms of sales.

mybe your thought dude. I do not the mistake again. I was a Wii Nerd. but then ive played only 4 titles on this shit console they was worth to spend my money

1:36 here you go

To satisfy all the gamers I like that and I stick by it!!!!! And fuck mw3, resident evil, and all of that black ops shit

He looked like he was reading some script when he said his iconic quote lol

I dear you to come out like that again Reggie. You won't do it. You won't do it.

Mmmmmm I'm quite new to this...But when did he trash talked about MS and Sony?
