Where does the “Reggie Vs. Iwata” meme come from?
The sequence comes from the Nintendo Digital Event presented at E3 2014 on June 10, 2014. Nintendo replaced its traditional press conference with a pre-recorded video streamed on YouTube. The sketch features Satoru Iwata, President of Nintendo, and Reggie Fils-Aimé, President of Nintendo of America. They physically engage in a battle styled after anime or Dragon Ball Z. This staging served to introduce the Mii Fighter feature in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. While the video also included a Robot Chicken animation, the duel remains the central element retained by the community as a cult moment of corporate charisma.
