Nintendo Hearts the Geek

By Ben Gilbert Wednesday August 13, 2008

Well lookey lookey what we have here! Arriving in a shimmering silver envelope today in the mail is what you see above: a nice little thank you note from the folks at Nintendo for attending their press conference at E3 last month. Not just that, but this thank you note was personally signed by the big boy at Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aime – known as “The Regginator” to friends and enemies alike. Normally we wouldn’t point out such a thing but we felt this card was especially poignant given the enormous backlash Nintendo received after their press conference for their complete disregard of hardcore gamers (read as: “geeks”). Clearly though, as you see above, Nintendo totally <3s Geeks.

It‘s quiet in here! Why not leave a response?

About this Blog

What's it mean to be a geek? Wikipedia defines a geek as "a peculiar or otherwise odd person, especially one who is perceived to be overly intellectual" and describes "one with low social skills, regardless of intelligence." Geekadelphia is a bunch of geeks blogging (and drawing) about all-that-is-geek in the City of Brotherly Love and beyond. We don't claim to be peculiar, odd, overly intellectual, lacking in social skills, hermits, hackers, or neophiliacs. We don't call everyone "n00bs" or "pwn" people on a daily basis. We've never watched Beauty & The Geek or Beat The Geeks when they were on television, though we did enjoy Freaks & Geeks. Who didn't? We do, however, claim to love video games, computers, pointless-inventions, high budget over-the-top action movies, useless gadgets, comic books, South Park, WoW, Family Guy, Star Wars, and consequently, episodes of South Park and Family Guy that make fun of WoW and Star Wars. Our goal? To talk about geeky things that interest us and highlight events, stores, and people in Philadelphia who, like us, are geeky. Welcome to Geekadelphia. Enjoy your stay... n00b.
