Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime was on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon yesterday to show off The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Before Fallon was given the Wii Remote to play, Fils-Aime presented the host of the late night talk show with a statue made by First 4 Figures valued at $424.99. Eiji Aonuma and Koji Kondo also delivered a pre-recorded message for Fallon about his sword technique. The video is nearly five minutes long and can be seen below.
Reggie doesn’t have shiny chin today!
I have a feeling that Jimmy, although i think he DOES like video Games/ Zelda franchise, that he is not really a “BIG fan”… i think he even mentions “dragons” at one point… and “how do i jump” which i think (for me) made it clear that he isn’t the “biggest” fan.. yet he got a one of a kind statue?!?!? oh well.. rant over.
Jimmy Fallon has actually given Nintendo products quite a lot of publicity lately. Reggie’s been on his show three to four times in the past couple of years; off the top of my head, once for Donkey Kong Country Returns, once for the 3DS, and now for Skyward Sword.
I agree he is a nintendo / zelda supporter.. didnt want to make it sound like he is fake.. just dont think Fallon should be the person getting that statue.. when (to me) he is clearly not a zelda SUPER fan.. IMO
