Leading theory is that Joker from P5 stole his heart and in a few days, Reggie will reveal there's been a localization for Mother 3 this whole time.

In all seriousness though, Reggie may not have always said things I agree with but kept the culture of games = fun around. There are so very few non-toxic personalities around gaming from within the industry right now. I wish him well and hope the next e3 is filled with infinite Bowser puns to keep the party train going.
