Former President and COO of Nintendo Reggie Fils-Aime has just revealed the final publish date and cover of his upcoming memoir, Disrupting the Game: From the Bronx to the Top of Nintendo. Originally set to release May 24 but now releasing on May 3, the book will chronicle his rise to the top of Nintendo and give his tips on how to be successful in life. You can read the full blurb below:

Gaming legend and boss level disruptor Reggie Fils-Aimé, retired President and Chief Operating Officer of Nintendo of America Inc., shares leadership lessons and inspiring stories from his unlikely rise to the top. He mastered these lessons to build a long and storied career, and you too can leverage these lessons to springboard your own ultimate success and happiness.

Although he’s best known as Nintendo's iconic President of the Americas—immortalized for opening Nintendo’s 2004 E3 presentation with, “My name is Reggie, I'm about kicking ass, I'm about taking names, and we're about making games”—Reggie Fils-Aimé’s story is the ultimate gameplan for anyone looking to beat the odds and achieve success.

Learn from Reggie how to leverage disruptive thinking to pinpoint the life choices that will make you truly happy, conquer negative perceptions from those who underestimate or outright dismiss you, and master the grit, perseverance, and resilience it takes to dominate in the business world and to reach your professional dreams.

As close to sitting one-on-one with the gaming legend as it gets, you will learn:
-About the challenges Reggie faced throughout his life and career—from his humble childhood as the son of Haitian immigrants, to becoming one of the most powerful names in the history of the gaming industry.
-What it takes to reach the top of your own industry, including being brave enough to stand up for your ideas, while also being open to alternative paths to success.
-How to create vibrant and believable visions for your team and company.
-How to maintain relentless curiosity and know when to ask questions to shatter the status quo.

You can pre-order Disrupting the Game: From the Bronx to the Top of Nintendo at Amazon and all other major book publishers.

Disappointing that it wasn't named in reference to his body having been ready.

Disappointing that it wasn't named in reference to his body having been ready.

even better title would be "His body was Reggie when no one else body was ready."

Disappointing that it wasn't named in reference to his body having been ready.

I was thinking either the quote itself or something like “My Memoir is Ready”…..maybe he was concerned it would sound how could I put it…..rated AO.

my heart skipped for a moment, thinking he is dead.

Kinda hard writing a memoir if you're dead xD

Cool going to look into this one

I don't know why, but I thought he died for a second there. lol

Could be a nice read, but I'm tired of that feelgood spiel (you too can leverage these lessons to springboard your own ultimate success and happiness.)

It's the way the headline is worded. Instead of saying he is releasing his memoir it makes it sound like it's being released without him.

OH MY GOD YOU JERKS I THOUGHT HE DIED

People over estimate the Nintendo of America. It's just a marketing division that likes to hire highly agressive law firms.

Sometimes they like to censor games too.

Reggie was CEO, but was not making any huge gaming decisions I believe.

Thanks to Reggie, we almost didn't get Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii in the US.

Can't say I'm too excited to read his book. It's not like he invented Mario or any video game

 

[ZeroFX]

Don't care much to ninty of America and only ever heard of him when he retired but good for him I guess.

Someone writing a memoir doesn't mean that they've died lol...

 

[[Truth]]

I think it's the picture and memoir looking similar to memorial that makes people think he died for a moment (me too).
