An excellent if not condensed look into how someone starts and pushes themselves into a position to succeed。 Reggie and Nintendo have always been mythical figures in the video game industry and reading this has been a wonderful insight into those worlds。

This is a very digestible read and going to have a lot little tidbits Nintendo diehards will enjoy。 For those unfamiliar with these kinds of leadership/business books they can feel a bit generic at times。 That being said， it's solid advice that's applicable to your own life no matter where you are in it。The books starts off on a very heavy note with Reggie attending Mr。 Iwata's funeral。 It's deeply personal and pulls the reader in。 Also， the book is very inspirational given Reggie's background a This is a very digestible read and going to have a lot little tidbits Nintendo diehards will enjoy。 For those unfamiliar with these kinds of leadership/business books they can feel a bit generic at times。 That being said， it's solid advice that's applicable to your own life no matter where you are in it。The books starts off on a very heavy note with Reggie attending Mr。 Iwata's funeral。 It's deeply personal and pulls the reader in。 Also， the book is very inspirational given Reggie's background and how much he struggled to achieve what he did in life。For Nintendo fans there is a ton of interesting information about our favorite game company and the decisions they made。 Seeing the behind the scenes to some of our favorite moments， E3 2004， Wii's launch etc is really cool and informative。That being said， even though this book does talk about Nintendo's short-comings。 It often feels like a bit too much of a victory lap。 The Wii U's failure and 3DS struggles could have been discussed in more depth。 Even successful platforms， like the Wii's shortcomings weren't discussed much。 Such as Nintendo Wifi Connections limitations， poor software attach rate etc。 We do learn from some of Reggie's failings， but I think a bit more could have been written about shortcomings even in success， and learning from that。Overall， it was pretty interesting and very easy to read。 I would happily recommend it to any Nintendo fan， or anyone trying to learn how to be a better leader and communicator。 。。。more

Disrupting the Game by Reggie Fils-Aimé is a must-read for anyone who is from an entrepreneur to a business person or working for a business to a student; everyone should read the book。 I had read other's reviews and I wanted to make sure to underline that Reggie Fils-Aimé if you've read the book was never "placed" in any position nor was he "given" a title， this person has such a clear and effective idea of himself and his path that he takes us through the mental process of how he made the move Disrupting the Game by Reggie Fils-Aimé is a must-read for anyone who is from an entrepreneur to a business person or working for a business to a student; everyone should read the book。 I had read other's reviews and I wanted to make sure to underline that Reggie Fils-Aimé if you've read the book was never "placed" in any position nor was he "given" a title， this person has such a clear and effective idea of himself and his path that he takes us through the mental process of how he made the moves and decisions he has made。 This is an impressive read because of how humble Reggie Fils-Aimé is， how he is teaching us not only his process but the lessons he has learned， and how we can learn from his experiences and his own lessons。 I picked up this book because of my child's interest and love for Nintendo and when I see Reggie Fils-Aimé I can see my child。 Visibility is a wonderful thing and when my child is older I will pass down this book for them to read。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Note: I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review。 Reggie comes off as someone who deserves the positions he's been placed in。 The ideas he presents are always backed up with an explanation of why it worked for him， and for a burgeoning executive， that seems to be the missing link in autobiographies like this。 The only thing that seems off about this book is that he doesn't discuss learning from any mistakes。 The only "mistakes" he talks about making are not Note: I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review。 Reggie comes off as someone who deserves the positions he's been placed in。 The ideas he presents are always backed up with an explanation of why it worked for him， and for a burgeoning executive， that seems to be the missing link in autobiographies like this。 The only thing that seems off about this book is that he doesn't discuss learning from any mistakes。 The only "mistakes" he talks about making are not being persuasive enough to push his idea that would have fixed everything。 It may be that Reggie is just a near-perfect person， but I could have used more here。 Also， not enough info on the Bigfoot Pizza。Lots of easily digestible lessons about working with different cultures and different markets that are really interesting and lots of info on behind the scenes decisions at Nintendo， so I got what I wanted from it。 。。。more
