So I was reading some of the older issues of Nintendo Power that I picked up last weekend. In issue 5 from mar/apr 1989 on page 15 they are covering the C.E.S. (consumer eletronic's show) in the pic i noticed a man, and it sure as hell looks like Reggie. Anyone who has the issue can see it better but here's the scan

That's Nester, classic Nintendo Power cartoon character.
edit: I'll have to take a look at my issue when I get home and see if I can figure out what the hell you're talking about.

That's what they want you to think. All the fanboys really know who's running the show. ;)

I'm glad the confusion is cleared up. I was starting to think Reggie Bush was the person you were referring to!

Yeah, I know, they've got the spirit of Gunpei Yokoi locked down in the basement somewhere.

I know who the new Reggie is but I thought he worked at a beer place before coming to Nintendo a few years ago. I didn't know he has been there that long (or had been there before then moved to the beer place?).
According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reggie_Fils-Aime, Pizza Hut and beer place :)

We're talking about the guy that's looking down at the table, right? I pulled that issue last night and looked at it more closely. No one in that picture looks anything remotely like Reggie.

Cool! I didn't know he worked at VH1.
But... boy is that info a bit off!
VH1 was never for a younger audience! That's why I watch it!
Genesis, The Who, Led Zeppelin... they show mostly stuff for us (over 40 crowd). And I hope it stays that way!

I agree with YoshiM, nobody in that photo looks anything like Reggie Fils-Aime... Is this a joke?
It's Reggie Jackson. MISTAR OCTOBER! He happened into the show.
