Just about a year ago, the former Nintendo of America CEO Reggie Fils-Aime set his sights on GameStop, joining the retail chain's board of directors. It looks like Reggie is moving on already, though, with the announcement that he plans to leave before the end of 2021. Currently, GameStop has had a wild year, making the headlines consistently throughout the fallout regarding Wallstreetbets and the GME stock battle, a disappointing fiscal year report, and now the retirement of Reggie, and eight other senior board members. While an exact date of departure hasn't been given, it's expected that he'll be leaving sometime around June, when GameStop will be having its annual shareholders meeting.

Reggie after seeing how much of a fuckup Gamestop is:

Well Bowser is in charge of NoA.

Do you really think he can just walk in, collect 70 stars and swing him at a bomb?

This is the best thing I’ve read all night!

I’m sure Reggie knows what he is doing, would be awesome for him to return to Nintendo though

It was just a matter of time, really. With the constant ups and downs of GameStop stock, they were bound to lose their board of directors.

You know what? This makes me wish some place like Newegg had the GameStop perks, instead. GameStop really has gone in the gutter since the early days.

There is a quite easier alternative, Reggie just needs to do a BLJ to skip everything and go straight back to his position as a CEO.

Ya'll asking for him to return to Nintendo. He won't, as probably he signed out for a handsome send-off.

And don't forget that Nintendo is now what he and Hiwata built. An aggressive company towards its fans, sellers of overpriced re-releases and borderline autistic to the current online world.

Where does he go next? Blockbuster?

Reggie: "So long kinga bowsey!"

So long gay bowser *corrected*

So long gay bowser *corrected*

Kingy, gay, same thing(yes I know he didn't say kingy, but it's a one letter difference)

 

[VartioArtel]

So long gay bowser *corrected*

The guy who voiced Mario confirmed it's supposed to be "So long Kinga Bowsey/Bowser".

 

[D34DL1N3R]

Please Reggie, come back to Nintendo

Oh, God. Please. No.

 

[MetallicKaiser]

So much for Gamestop's comeback, I guess.

Doubt he'll return to Nintendo, but Reggie will do great anywhere he ends up.

 

[ZeroT21]

LOL, even reggie knows when to chuck in the towel

 

[Taleweaver]

So... What will the shareholders do?
