Reggie Fils-Aime wants fans to know: Nintendo listens

Despite Nintendo‘s seemingly nonchalant attitude to the gripes of its gamers, Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime assures us that they do listen. That’s a comfort to know Reggie, but I’m still waiting for news on a hard drive.

Despite Nintendo‘s seemingly nonchalant attitude to the gripes of its gamers, Nintendo’s Reggie Fils-Aime assures us that they do listen.

When asked point blank whether “the complaints about the friend code systems, lack of a real storage solution, a very lame attempt at voice chat and just an overall uncomfortable online system fallen on deaf ears,” Fils-Aime replied:

We listen to our fans all the time. Nintendo fans are some of the most passionate in the world, and believe me, they make their opinions heard.

We’re not claiming our way of doing things is better or worse than anyone else – it’s just different. […] We listen very closely to what people have to say, both pro and con, and keep those feelings in mind as we plan ahead.

For example, as you know, we recently launched Club Nintendo here in North America to reward our fans for their loyalty. I know everyone here always envied Japan and Europe fans for the cool Nintendo items they had, and now we’re getting some of our own.

Screw loyalty points. I want a hard drive for my Wii. (Why did that sound dirty?)
