Looking for more reasons to sit through the tediously long Game Awards show this year? Well, in a bit of good news for Nintendo fans, it's been revealed that former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé will be a presenter at the show.
The event will be hosted once again by Geoff Keighley, but will also feature guest presenters throughout – yesterday it was revealed that Shang-Chi star Simu Liu would be getting involved, and now we have confirmation that the Reggienator is on board.
Not a bad signing, eh?
The Game Awards 2021 takes place on 9th/10th December depending on your time zone and will be viewable on YouTube and Twitch. We've gathered up all the details you could possibly need in our handy guide to the event.
Will you be tuning in?

My body is ready.
Mother 3 finally to be announced?
@MrHonest My body is Reggie.
There, corrected it for you.
Spending more time at home with the kids again Reggie?
Wait, there's a new game about Mothman? That's one rumour you guys have neglected to report on.
They’d need a truck load of Reggies before I sit through that pomped infomercial
Metroid. This all makes sense now. An announcement that has been 2,5 years in the making and 2,5 years ago Reggie has been seen with a metroid shirt at the game awards stage just a couple of weeks before the game awards.
It also was the year where they probably would have announced the metroid trilogy if they didn't make the decision to restart Metroid Prime 4's development.
Edit: darn.... Reggie with his metroid shirt was 3,5 years ago already. There goes my theory out the window. Time flies..... https://mynintendonews.com/2018/09/27/reggie-puts-on-metroid-shirt-for-the-game-awards-2018-photo/
He's revealing Mothra? Well, if anyone's going to fly in on a giant moth to present an award it's the Regginator.
I miss Reggie...
It would be hilarious if he really did announce Mother 3's localization for the West.
I’ll wait for the following morning to see what or what was not revealed
Cranky Kong incoming!
At this point I like Reggie as much as I like Mother 3. It's a great game
Heck, that b&w picture worried me for a second there...
@Varkster Beat me to it
There's this constant worry that Reggie would break his perfect-attendence at The Game Awards. I hope it never comes down to that.
Your Mother is now in another Bowser's Castle.
@IronMan30 PS5 exclusive.
Reggie is for The Game Awards what Undertaker used to be for Wrestlemania. Lol
Here come Metroid Prime 4 with a new Cranky Mode.
@Shambo and the next GoW is Switch 2.0 exclusive, it's been cancelled for PS4/5.
Good to see Reggie in the game awards again!
Also, what's up with the occasional manchildren in the comments thinking they are in charge of other people's lives? Seems they show up in every news piece involving people that have left Nintendo specifically.
@IronMan30 Critical hit, you almost out-absurded me. I'll have to use the bigger guns: Bill Gates himself teleports on the stage next to Reggie, laser eyes him to ashes, saying xbox is leading the industry in Japan, because Metroid Prime 4 and LoZ BotW 2 were delayed because microsoft bought the IP's.
I overdid it and broke the space-time continuum and natural law.
@Bizzyb me too. He actually had a personality. Doug Bowser is awful and barely does anything with the public and never shows up in Directs.
@Shambo then The Rock shows up and says Sega is back in the console race and bought out Sony, MS, and Nintendo to create one console to rule them all.
"To reveal Moth– no, let's not go there"
Let's!
This comes as no surprises to anyone by now...
@Meteoroid Nothing major, but he said he was retiring from Nintendo so he spend time with his family, but seems to often be busy with other things.
@Meteoroid Sorry Reggie's protector!
@Meteoroid I gave you my reasoning for my opinion and you have told me you don't like it.
Stop telling me how to be and move along please.....
@dew12333 his family was Nintendo family.... lol....
That's pretty cool. Honestly, if all presenters were the at least the same caliber as Reggie I might watch one of these, but I don't waste time on overlong, pointless award shows, no matter what it's for. Give me the 5 minutes (if that) of highlights and I'm good. I'll spend the time on better, more productive activities
Last of Nintendo's celebrity CEO's , shame the new ones in control hide in the corner, Bowser may not have much personality but he does show up sometimes in press. The new Japan CEO, well I can't even remember his name, I will just call him the boring man with no personality.. I'll be Ready for Reggie, maybe he can take on Simu Liu in a bout of Smash Bros.
@FragRed good choice I watched it last year & it was crap
@IronMan30 Had you said Vin Diesel I would have believed you. But what is Soulja Boy doing on the stage there? What company does he believe he bought now?
@Shambo you know, I'm not sure what he's up to these days. Perhaps he bought Atari.
@IronMan30 And maybe made it into a playing card company.
Reggie still does not retire well.
Reggie has no clue what he wants to do with his life. He is like a teen fresh outta High School, just winging it. Its that or he is a money whore and likes having 200+ "jobs".
Ah, poor Reggie. As people increasingly saw him for the soulless corporate buffoon he is, they really turned on him hard.
REGGIE! Did you guys know Reggie was the only one working on Nintendo games until his departure in 2019?
@Vriess
Cross your fingers it might happen!
