"Alright, let's cut to Reggie memorializing Iwata."
"Oh, what music should we play?"
"Generic EDM sounds appropriate."

Yeah weird transition.

 

[Morfeo]

Reggie also doing a god job here. So true what he says about Iwata ask.

 

[Empyrean Heaven]

Reggie, this is not the time to pimp your company.

 

[Sheroking]

Reggie: You aren't special. Iwata is special. But not you

He's goddamn right (probably).

 

[Japanmanx3]

Tears smh...

 

[Revven]

HE SAID DIRECTLY. DAMNIT NO....!

 

[Velcro Fly]

"directly"

 

[LegendofDragoonLives]

RIP Iwata...

 

[And_Gignac]

Fuck...

 

[UltraGunner]

Iwata knew his shit

 

[Vire]

Sales numbers... Good lord Reggie.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

edit: nevermind

 

[PhaZZe]

Reggie: You aren't special. Iwata is special. But not you

wtf is wrong with you?

 

[Aaronrules380]

Really dude?
Don't be a dick.

Sorry, you're right. that was in bad taste

 

[Ashodin]

FEARLESS IWATA

I just fist pumped.

 

[Lasthope106]

I hope they don't play the awful music after Reggie stops talking.

 

[The_Inquisitor]

Lol acknowledging Wii was a bad name.

 

[ChaosZeroX]

The feels man. I can't take it.

 

[KingBroly]

Reggie's voice is slightly cracking here

 

[User1608]

Poor Reggie. I caught a slight falter in his voice...

 

[JTripper]

Reggie is the most professional mother fucker around.

 

[Coma Ecliptic]

Iwata knew his shit

He flat out FIXED games that were broken, he's beyond a legend.

 

[MrPanic]

This went straight to the feels, wasn't ready for this.

 

[Randomly Nameless]

Reggie is almost crying wow

 

[bounchfx]

Iwata was a fucking boss

 

[Technosteve]

Reggie why you got to be gaming age all up in there

 

[ArjanN]

I guess even twitch has a heart every now and then.

To be fair I would always describe twitch chat as crying baby heads.

 

[Ricker]

The Wii was so huge for a few years for sure....everyone was playing it,everyone.

 

[jmizzal]

Iwata help change the game forever

 

[2Smashed4U]

Reggie is gonna crack at some point. There's gonna be one tear. Minimum.

 

[Mark5130]

Damn onion cutting ninjas.

 

[foxuzamaki]

man, i remeber when I heard wii

 

[Einchy]

Reggie: You aren't special. Iwata is special. But not you

Fine, Iwata and Aaronrules380 are both special.

Happy?

 

[Teknoman]

Reggie: "Yeah, y'all feel stupid now huh".

 

[brandonh83]

This is wonderful.

 

[Skelter]

Oh gosh, I did not expect to tear up during the awards. I had no idea they were doing this. That's really cool and special. Geoff is a great guy.

At VGX, there was a short commemoration for the King's Quest creators or something like that. It was touching.

 

[Vanille]

What a shitty speech.

 

[Courage]

Linking him to Gameboy's sales is a huge stretch...

What a weird thing to talk about in a eulogy. Oh well.

For real.

 

[_woLf]

My stream is cutting out whyyyy

 

[Seventy_X_Seven]

This is a terrible fucking speech. I'm not unique? Fuck you Reggie. Jesus.

Yeah, that was a really odd way to put it.

 

[outunderthestars]

There are some straight up miserable people in this thread.

 

[NotTheGuyYouKill]

This is a weird eulogy. Finishing strong though.

 

[Rozart]

Yea, Iwata was a visionary.

 

[Bogeypop]

Linking him to Gameboy's sales is a huge stretch...

What a weird thing to talk about in a eulogy. Oh well.

Gotta talk to all the investors watching with all these ads.

 

[Xpliskin]

This speech :'(

 

[PhoenixDawn]

Damn he's doing a heck of a job keeping it together. You can tell he's trying to hold back tears.

 

[213372bu]

Reggie touting sales and mentioning how you feel about Wii and dismissing criticisms.

Damn dude, pick a eulogy or go the other route, not both.

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

Linking him to Gameboy's sales is a huge stretch...

What a weird thing to talk about in a eulogy. Oh well.

We're at a conference/award show remembering someone who had one of the largest impacts on the industry.

not really that strange

 

[Baroquemantic]

This is really great.

 

[Scientist Supreme!]

Dude is right.
