Have you ever sat there watching Nintendo's E3 press conference and wondered what The Reginator looked like in his younger days? If so, have we got a picture for you.
While we have no idea at exactly what age this photo of Reggie was snapped, we can definitely tell that people were still frequenting discos and watching Shaft at the local drive-in.
You can see that same excitement that Mr. Fils-Aime still exudes today in his passion for Nintendo, but Reggie, what's up with those glasses?

I can give him a pass for the glasses. The afro might even, separated from all other factors, be considered stylish.
But that collar, man. It's like he killed a pterodactyl and was wearing its wings as a grisly trophy.
Well, throw a koopa shell at me! Reggie had class back in the day. XD
This is the best photo I've seen all day. WINNN!!! "70's Reggie!" Far out, man!
My body WASN'T READY D:
Now I understand why Reggie's been stressing no more glasses.
**looks at photo**

I think I know where the rest of his afro went...
lol Raylax D:
He looks awsome
BWAHAHAHA! That's awesome.
Reggie is gangsta
That is............just awesome. In more ways than one.
So Reggie was part of the "The Warriors" gang! Name were surely taken and many asses were kicked.
That's just awesome. Just pure, plain, awesome.
Well now, thats such an original photo.
And I thought people only dressed like that in old movies
Now that's super fly...
gasp
I would. Just saying...
ok....so....what nationality is he exactly? It's not racist to ask that question, is it? I'm genuinely curious...cannot place him. The last name is french I'd assume....but the fro is decidedly not.
@Shiryu
Can...you...dig it??? LOL REGGIE, REGGIE, REGGIE!!!
Nice hair, Reggie.
Reggie, you tha man!
Go easy on him, guys--he's my father.
@22: According to Wikipedia, his parents are from Haiti (latin america), but he was born in the United States.
@26: really?
Gold. Pure gold.
Reggie brought cool into school.
I laughed out loud when I saw that pic. I saved it to my laptop, and it's never leaving!
thats why he wants no glasses on the 3ds
I wonder how much the glasses and afro weighs...
Respect.
Reggie leveled up to level 100!
Epic +6
Gangsta +4
For just being Reggie +10
I love the collar he's got. If he got a good running start he could probably fly.
I saw this picture last year on a blog
i'm sure Reggie saw his own future with those glasses! Talk about the original *D*ual *S*creen
I LOVE YOU NINTENDO LIFE.
We have to get him to grow the fro back out. Can you imagine him walking out on stage at the next press conference with that glorious fro?
Time to start an online petition...
Groovy.
SOLID. (raises fist)
second in coolness, next to cat from the tv series red dwarf.
This is their selling point for the 3DS
That...is awesome. If he resurrected that style I'd purchase x10 of every Nintendo product. Do it Reggie, you know you want to!
Thats a pretty awesome fro... extra points for being a perfect sphere. Regie should have kept that do. Sadly I have lame ass white man's hair. If I could have a fro tomorrow, I would!
He should bring back the fro!
Groovy
Outta Sight
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!~ THIS GUY!!!!!! hugs Reggie
I bet Reggie got all the chicks with that fro!LOL
You da man Reggie!
