Nintendo of America boss Reggie Fils-Aime gave an interview to Kotaku, in which he spoke at a length on the subject of E3, and addressed the complaints some gamers had towards Nintendo's presentation.
Some gamers were unsatisfied with the titles shown at E3 and had expected more from the Japanese publisher.
"One of the things that, on one hand, I love and, on the other hand, that troubles me tremendously about not only our fanbase but about the gaming community at large is that, whenever you share information, the perspective is, 'Thank you, but I want more.' 'Thank you, but give me more.' I mean, it is insatiable," he said.
"And so for years this community has been asking, 'Where’s Pikmin?' 'Where’s Pikmin?' 'Where’s Pikmin?' We give them Pikmin. And then they say, 'What else?' For years, this community have said, 'Damnit Reggie, when you launch, you better launch with a Mario game.' So we launch with a Mario game, and they say, 'So what’s more?'
"I have heard people say, 'You know, you’ve got these fantastic franchises, beyond what you’re doing in Smash Bros., isn’t there a way to leverage all these franchises?' So we create Nintendo Land and they say, 'Ho-hum, give me more.' So it’s an interesting challenge."
Classy as always, Fils-Aime did not dismiss the calls of its fanbase, and praised them for their passion.
