Former COO and President of Nintendo of America, Reggie Fils-Aimé believes that the gaming industry is all ‘marching to’ the metaverse. “I do believe that this vision is something that we’re all marching to. I do believe it’s going to be led by gaming companies and I do believe that if delivered in a way that’s fun, that’s compelling it’s an experience that people will want to have.” Appearing in an interview with Yahoo! Finance, the former Nintendo President stated that metaverse may be the future of gaming, and maybe even just the future in general. “[The metaverse is] a space that’s immersive and interactive, a space that has the ability to be modified, but can still be persistent. Imagine walking on sand, and seeing other footprints that’s an example of where you’re able to modify an environment but it is persistent. You’ve seen what other people have done,” he added. Furthermore, Fils-Aimé stated that metaverses are already present in a number of gaming experiences today, so the movement from traditional gaming to including metaverse elements will not be a major change for gamers. He even gave a shout-out to the developers of Elden Ring, a game that has been recently praised by Elon Musk as the “the most beautiful art I have ever seen.” Elden Ring, experienced in its entirety, is the most beautiful art I have ever seen — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) May 23, 2022The post Ex-Nintendo Exec Says Gaming Companies Are All ‘Marching to...
