Engadget interviews Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime

by Christopher Grant { Feb 20th 2006 at 3:15PM }

Our brothers-in-gadgetry at Engadget have posted an interview with the singular life-force known simply as Reggie. They run him through the paces, asking about everything from a third DS revision (not an unreasonable assumption), to Xbox Live (very intriguing). He makes it clear they're going to be revealing details about the Revolution all the way up until launch, not just at E3.

The interview was conducted before Reggie announced that Twilight Princess was delayed but might feature "special" functionality on the Revolution (still just a codename). We have it on good authority* that Reggie's gone into hiding after hearing the collective outcry of the world's Zelda fans.

*We made it up.

UPDATE: We forgot the best part! Reggie said, "I have to tell you, I read both Engadget and Joystiq on a regular basis. So keep up the great work." Thanks, Reggie!

Does that mean we'll get an invite next time the Revolution controller comes around? Really, Reggie, call me... seriously... please? If that's a yes, post anything in the comments using the word "the" and I'll take it as a yes, and stay up late every night waiting for your call.

Bt releasing info up to E3 and at E3 they got our attention in the following months.

As for the Zelda Revolution functionality, it only makes sense to have Zelda: TP as a launch title.

I bet you the delay is caused by reprogramming it for the Revolution.

I'll be checkin this one out soon. They better release enough at E3 and not have us guessing about important things all the way up to the day before the launch. I don't think I can handle that and may just be pissed enough not to get one at launch.

On another note I'll wait for the 3rd DS revision.

Let's talk about talking about the Revolution and the DS! Yawn. Wake me up when some actual news starts to come in through the wires.

Cool, he reads Joystiq on a regular basis. I wonder if he gets a good laugh out of all the comparisons to Chuck Norris and other mythological figures.

The only thing Reggie fears? Crazed Zelda fans.

I'm impressed to see he reads joystiq regularily. Thumbs up!

I found it quite a good article, much the same as the others i've heard from him.

however he sais that no gamecube game will use the revo controller, so I guess that nulifies the Zelda TP rumour about it using the controller(s)
