In case you weren't eagerly poring over Twitter recently, it may interest you that there was an account takeover by Nintendo of America President and COO Reggie Fils-Aime, reacting to the fact that #askReggie had apparently been trending on the social network. Over the space of an hour the self-proclaimed Regginator answered some questions, had a bit of a laugh and announced that he's preparing a tour around cities in the region to play major Wii U and 3DS games with the great gaming public.
In terms of the actual announcement, Fils-Aime advises gamers to keep their eyes on NoA's Twitter and Facebook accounts for details.
Below are a few of our favourites of the other tweets in this Q & A section, including a rather peculiar one that mentions twerking; we can't decide whether it's funny or awkward — check out the link at the end of the article to see them all.

I hope that Princess Daisy and I get to show him how karting is done.
That.. is... uh...um...
This man, is just, swag. Totally godlike swag.
I wish the UK had a Reggie
This is why Reggie is the man.
Dat concentration!!
Someone tweeted the amount of hours they were playing mario 3d land in a response to reggies animal crossing photo. More than 8000 hours :0
Reggie is the s**t and is swag god. I have over 1,000 hrs on mk7
Cool! Doubt he'll be at my city though...
Cool story Reg, but how about some VC content?
300 Hours... That's ... Wow
I barely have 50.
Reggie should visit my Animal Crossing town, fo' reals.
I wouldnt mind twerking with Reggie
Maybe he'll come to the sprawling metropolis that is Fuquay-Varina! Oh who am I kidding, why would anyone ever come here
This article's caption photo might be the greatest picture of Reggie I have ever seen.
Reggie is da bawss!!
Please come to Albany! I think this is a great idea. It's cheap, creates hype, and connects nintendo with their fans.
Really cool Reggie. Hope you make a Las Vegas stop
Wow, my body wasn't ready for this news!
I'm no fan of the guy...
@Guitardude7 Doing business as usual?! Fils-Aimée is nothing more than your ordinary salesman, magnified to hyperbolic levels by the powers of the Internet. He has no word on the company products.
I completely agree. No affect what's so ever on Nintendos bottom line. I don't understand everyone's passion towards this man
Give us a list of cities link!!
Why does people makes him likes he's god or something. Yes he's a good businessman but as much as the other businessmen/women that work hard in other businesses good or bad what makes him any different than the rest?
And not a single Wii U will be sold as a result.
How about taking his salary and spend it instead on new game development or porting a popular GC or Wii title into HD... you know, do something that will actually sell consoles?
My Man reggie! its been a while siince ive seen a ND from you bro, hope you come to Austin XD
Yo Regg, why don't you stop by G-boro for a bit.
Regardless of your feelings about Reggie, this is good news. Putting a device in someone's hand is the strongest form of advertising you can have.
I hope he comes to Charlotte, NC! And on a weekend!
I'm so Reggie!!!!! [laughs] Hope you come to Florida!
I sure hope Nintendo comes to Atlanta, GA!
I hope he comes to some area of Western New York, be it Buffalo, Rochester or Syracuse. If so, I'm going.
loz but ive played my 3ds 2527 hours 21 minutes bring it bra
@vamkar LMAO!
He should also bring along Jimmy Fallon.
I would inquire as to how he allowed Nintendo of America to become a 4th tier branch after Japan, Europe, and Australia.
I had over 150 hours on my animal crossing then my sd card corruptd on me and left me devastated i started again hough and had to make about 10 new towns before i got rasher back couldn't live without tht guy! Snd i vow to never buy a downloadale game ever again if there's a phyical choice anyway! Got sucked into the convenience of having AC always on my system well it's not worth the risk!
Come to Boston!
If I met Reggie in real life I'd flip out more than if I met most major celebrities.
I should ask Reggie why he LIED when we asked for the white 3DS; he said there was no room on store shelves for any other colors besides red and blue... (actually another excuse) but them releases more colors when people slowed buying their present ones...IOW they just wanted to push for more sales...
I hope Reggie comes to my city but I doubt it.
Glad to see that most of the people are stoked on here for him doing this. At least it's better than if he were to sit at his desk twiddling his thumbs doing nothing. I really like this idea of bringing games to the "average joe" like they did with E3 this year. It certainly won't hurt. But you can't please everybody and you know what they say:
Sweet! I hope he comes to my city.
"What Nintendo #3DS game do I play the most? #ACNL - 300 hours as of right now. How about you?"
It's funny; I've just clocked over 315 hours into Monster Hunter.
@SkywardLink98 ... Have relatives from there wow
I was wondering why there hasn't been a lot of Reggie news, lately.... apparently he's been readying his body for this big adventure.
only 350 in AC:NL? I have OVER 750 HRS IN AC:NL and that was just summer playtimes for it... lol
Oh my god, don't make me imagine Reggie twerking! Hhahaha!
@Trainer_DJ That's not a compliment... at all.
Reggie pls
Cool, this is why reggie is the best!
Come to Rome, GA Reggie! Or at least Atlanta, haha
@GearsOfWarU I'm gonna lol pretty hard if I'm your relative. (Fuquay in NC correct?)
@Swiket Coin Rush mode, trying to beat the Impossible Pack, and trying to get to 9,999,999 coins accumulated.
The jealousy of resident North American Nintendo fans having their own local celebs! That is, when the Japanese celebs are back at home, they still have someone, and his body's always ready!
@SkywardLink98 ...Yup ... I live in Fredericksburg VA ... Relatives with Arnolds, Bakers, Howards
