Reggie is 'flattered' by Microsoft's 'copying' photo

First it was Miyamoto who claimed to be "flattered" by Microsoft's innovative new Avatar system, and now Nintendo of America's Reggie Fils-Aime has has also shared his meaty appreciation for Microsoft's shameless Wii tribute.

"Copying is a way [of] flattering, so we're very flattered," stated the man whose beefburger fists can punch through walls and whose savory sweat is the talk of the town. 

Reggie also addressed DS redesign rumors, according to the translated interview with a Spanish Nintendo magazine. Claiming that a redesign would be due when sales are declining, the Big N chief suggested that the DS was too successful to bother revamping just yet. 

Be right back guys, just going to fire up the grill. Every time I talk about Reggie, I get hungry.

Hrm, pretty short article on the matters if you take out all the talk about meat but I'll have bacon and cheese please!

I call BS on the news about the DS as they are ALWAYS tweaking little things as people will pay for any 'ol adjustment. New DS has TWO spots for your stylus! 50 million sold in one week.

You talk as if there could be any other reason for my posting this.

*chuckles* Bet you'll never hear Reggie talking about the flattery of MS/Sony copying Wii Codes.

Ever since you started talking about Reggie as being made entirely of beef, Jim, I haven't been able to look at him the same way. I also haven't been able to look at him without laughing. The man truly is a hamburger.

And the picture for this article made me giggle.

Reggie is such a cock goblin. I hate how smug he is about representing the most successful piece of crap console in history (yes I'm including Jaguar)

I heard Reggie's sweat makes a delicious steak marinade.

Nintendo knows about copying. They've been copying their own games over and over for the past ten years.

That's because they'd never ever do that. I love Nintendo, but damn those codes to hell.

I for one am not flattered that MS thinks I am 12 yrs old and would rather create and look at a useless avatar than play games with my Xbox.
