For the Nintendo Switch, we were very deliberate in wanting to make sure, from a Nintendo publish standpoint, that we had a steady cadence of great games in addition to strong titles at launch.
Quote by -Reggie Fils-Aime
That's what DSi is all about: Providing simple, quick-to-master experiences that everybody can pick up and enjoy.
Quote by -Reggie Fils-Aime
Our strategy with DSiWare is the same as with WiiWare in that we want to provide new experiences every week.
Quote by -Reggie Fils-Aime
One of the things that... I've seen Nintendo do so well is provide a user interface that is intuitive, easy to navigate, easy to execute against - and in our view, that's exactly what we've done on DSi.
Quote by -Reggie Fils-Aime
The appeal of Wii to nongamers has taken away some of the seasonality of sales we've come to expect in the past.
Quote by -Reggie Fils-Aime
The competitive landscape for us is very broad. We see ourselves in the entertainment space. We compete with listening to the radio. We compete with watching TV. We compete with social networks.
Quote by -Reggie Fils-Aime
We compete with all of the time that consumers spend when they're not sleeping, they're not eating, not going to work or going to school. Because everything else is entertainment time.
Quote by -Reggie Fils-Aime
We believe that either our own teams or teams that we direct are best capable of creating 'Mario' games that will live up to the franchise. The same is true for 'Metroid' and 'Zelda' and all those wonderful properties. For us, we want to control those characters as a key corporate equity.
Quote by -Reggie Fils-Aime
We, as a company, take the most risks in pushing the boundaries on consumer expectations.
Quote by -Reggie Fils-Aime
The gaming enthusiast that buys a tremendous amount of games is truly insatiable.
Quote by -Reggie Fils-Aime
It's true that Miitomo, at its core, aims to foster social engagement. That's what it's all about.
Quote by -Reggie Fils-Aime
We expect people's experience with Miitomo to be a rewarding one in its own right. But at the same time, it's also a way to have them engage - or reengage - with Nintendo.
Quote by -Reggie Fils-Aime
The reality is, the way that online experiences have progressed, it's an expensive proposition. The amount of servers we need to support 'Smash Brothers' or 'Mario Kart' - these big multiplayer games - is not a small investment.
Quote by -Reggie Fils-Aime
We have worked with a range of input approaches. We've worked with the range of mechanisms to drive immersion into the gaming experience.
Quote by -Reggie Fils-Aime
Everything in life has some risk, and what you have to actually learn to do is how to navigate it.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
Observe, orient, decide, act. It's fighter pilot terminology. If you have the faster OODA loop in a dogfight, you live. The other person dies. In Silicon Valley, the OODA loop of your decision-making is effectively what differentiates your ability to succeed.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
MySpace is like a bar, Facebook is like the BBQ you have in your back yard with friends and family, play games, share pictures. Facebook is much better for sharing than MySpace. LinkedIn is the office, how you stay up to date, solve professional problems.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
Your network is the people who want to help you, and you want to help them, and that's really powerful.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
Starting a company is like throwing yourself off the cliff and assembling an airplane on the way down.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
Blitzscaling is always managerially inefficient - and it burns through a lot of capital quickly. But you have to be willing to take on these inefficiencies in order to scale up. That's the opposite of what large organizations optimize for.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
Blitzscaling is what you do when you need to grow really, really quickly. It's the science and art of rapidly building out a company to serve a large and usually global market, with the goal of becoming the first mover at scale. This is high-impact entrepreneurship.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
I actually think every individual is now an entrepreneur, whether they recognize it or not.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
Broadly, the meaning of life comes from how we interact with each other. The Internet can reconfigure space so that the right people are always next to each other.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
One of the challenges in networking is everybody thinks it's making cold calls to strangers. Actually, it's the people who already have strong trust relationships with you, who know you're dedicated, smart, a team player, who can help you.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
I think 'Settlers of Catan' is such a well-designed board game - it's the board game of entrepreneurship - that I made a knockoff called 'Startups of Silicon Valley.' It's literally - it's the same rules but just a different skin set to it.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
Death Row inmates are almost twice as expensive to house each year as other inmates. Death penalty trials are much costlier than trials where execution is not a potential punishment and consume more time from judges, public defenders, and other legal personnel.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
Some people mistake grit for sheer persistence - charging up the same hill again and again. But that's not quite what I mean by the word 'grit.' You want to minimize friction and find the most effective, most efficient way forward. You might actually have more grit if you treat your energy as a precious commodity.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
As an entrepreneur and investor, I prioritize construction and collaboration. Whether it's a five-person start-up or a global giant, the companies that are most productive are the ones whose employees operate with a shared sense of purpose and a clear set of policies for responding to changing conditions and new opportunities.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
Social networks do best when they tap into one of the seven deadly sins. Facebook is ego. Zynga is sloth. LinkedIn is greed.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
One of the metaphors that I use for start-ups is, you throw yourself off a cliff and assemble your airplane on the way down. If you don't solve the right problem at the right time, that's the end. Mortality puts priorities into sharp focus.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
There's a lot of people in the world that would love to trade places with American citizens, and we are very fortunate to be here.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
We want to be inclusive. We want to have our shareholders, our employees, our customers, whether they are Democrat, Republican, Green or Libertarian, to feel comfortable with how we're doing business. And so that tends to be apolitical. People say, 'No, no, I just simply shouldn't get involved in politics.'
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
Jeremy Stoppelman started Yelp. Max Levchin started Slide. I started LinkedIn. It was a mininova explosion of folks jumping out to doing other entrepreneurial activities.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
I won a Marshall scholarship to read philosophy at Oxford, and what I most wanted to do was strengthen public intellectual culture - I'd write books and essays to help us figure out who we wanted to be.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
'Founder' is a state of mind, not a job description, and if done right, even CEOs who join after day 1 can become founders.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
If you could train an AI to be a Buddhist, it would probably be pretty good.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
In crisis times, it's actually not more difficult to motivate your staff, because everyone gets much more focused on how they control their own economic destiny.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
The opportunity to build an enduring product far outweighs the cost of alienating a few users along the way. And the sooner you internalize that trade-off, the faster you'll move along the path to scale.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
To have your parents get divorced at a young age, there's a lot of turbulence. We all grew up together, in some way. It was not idyllic. It was intense, vibrant, sometimes oppressive. I felt I was very much in a world of my own. I didn't meld much in school. I was kind of a loner.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
What makes the meaning of life is people, so you try to be good to people immediately around you and in your broader community. So a lot of my projects are about how I can affect the world in the hundreds of millions.
Quote by -Reid Hoffman
Hard work isn't enough. And more work is never the real answer. The sort of grit you need to scale a business is less reliant on brute force. It's actually one part determination, one part ingenuity, and one part laziness.
