Former President and COO of Nintendo Reggie Fils-Aime has just revealed the final publish date and cover of his upcoming memoir, Disrupting the Game: From the Bronx to the Top of Nintendo. Originally set to release May 24 but now releasing on May 3, the book will chronicle his rise to the top of Nintendo and give his tips on how to be successful in life. You can read the full blurb below:

Gaming legend and boss level disruptor Reggie Fils-Aimé, retired President and Chief Operating Officer of Nintendo of America Inc., shares leadership lessons and inspiring stories from his unlikely rise to the top. He mastered these lessons to build a long and storied career, and you too can leverage these lessons to springboard your own ultimate success and happiness.

Although he’s best known as Nintendo's iconic President of the Americas—immortalized for opening Nintendo’s 2004 E3 presentation with, “My name is Reggie, I'm about kicking ass, I'm about taking names, and we're about making games”—Reggie Fils-Aimé’s story is the ultimate gameplan for anyone looking to beat the odds and achieve success.

Learn from Reggie how to leverage disruptive thinking to pinpoint the life choices that will make you truly happy, conquer negative perceptions from those who underestimate or outright dismiss you, and master the grit, perseverance, and resilience it takes to dominate in the business world and to reach your professional dreams.

As close to sitting one-on-one with the gaming legend as it gets, you will learn:
-About the challenges Reggie faced throughout his life and career—from his humble childhood as the son of Haitian immigrants, to becoming one of the most powerful names in the history of the gaming industry.
-What it takes to reach the top of your own industry, including being brave enough to stand up for your ideas, while also being open to alternative paths to success.
-How to create vibrant and believable visions for your team and company.
-How to maintain relentless curiosity and know when to ask questions to shatter the status quo.

You can pre-order Disrupting the Game: From the Bronx to the Top of Nintendo at Amazon and all other major book publishers.

What has he done for American gamer? What would it be like had it not been him? Every memoir is blowing owns trumpet.

I am curious enough to want to read this book.

I doubt there would be any interest if he didn't work for Nintendo though. Would still be surprise if this book has more than a niche appeal. The trumpet needs to be very loud and the sauce very hot.

I've always looked up to Reggie and Iwata in the things that they did for Nintendo. I am super excited to read this!
