## [](#reggies-advice)Reggie’s advice

> I think … the most important thing that he shared with me was really just the importance and, if you will, admiration for our great characters and immersive worlds.
>
> And then also the passion our fans have for that
>
> \[I need\] to make sure that that’s always our focus, to bring smiles to those people’s faces. And that’s been my job since day one, from the moment I arrived at Nintendo all the way until I came into this role.

While we miss Reggie for sure, Doug seems like a real nice and like able guy in his own right.
