I'm honestly saddened by this news, but happy that he was able to help put smiles on several faces of Nintendo fans all over the world. He's done so much for the company, and I wish him the best on his future endeavors.

And guess what? His replacement literally has the surname of Bowser!

My body was not ready. =(

I think Bowser will do just fine for them, and hey, better to be leaving on seemingly good terms, health, etc.

I'm sad to see such a great man go, espically one who could crack a great joke. Hopefully, Bowser could run the company as great as he did.

The replacement was born for this job.

For some reason, I think they chose Bowser BECAUSE of his name. I feel ridiculous just saying it. Nintendo is now headed by Bowser.

Reggie definitely has made a mark for every Nintendo fans alike, so I wish him the best on the retirement. And I hope Doug Bowser will make a good one, as well.

Weird. You don't normally step down from a position like that at a company that's doing as well as Nintendo is lately.

I wonder if he was pushed, or if he's sick or something. "Time with friends and family" is too generic of a reason.

Noo not Reggie. Who will Dunkey meme about now. 😭
