When former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé showed off some of his N64 collection on social media, we suspect he probably wasn’t expecting a wave of offers from potential buyers.
Alas, that’s exactly what happened. Reggie has remained quite active on social media since his departure from Nintendo in 2019 (!!) and attracts quite a bit of attention whenever he posts something Nintendo related. In late August, he posted a picture of a box with a selection of N64 cartridges with the caption “Found part of my Nintendo 64 collection! Reorganizing everything! Wonder what hidden gems I have here!” A fun offer from the ‘Omni’ user soon followed. @InfernoOmniwho said “I’ll buy the whole tub for $7”.
The thing is, when Reggie presented the much more lucrative purchase price of $70,000 (with the added benefit of his signature on all the cartridges), he got multiple responses that seemed to offer financial support to the Omni.
The first came from @CovfefeChanwho said “OMNI ILL CASH APP YOU RN”, sa @zperretta and then responds to offer his support by stating “I want to chip ngl”.
Others then joined the conversation to encourage Omni to continue with the purchase, with statements such as “Omni don’t mess around” and “Omni you can’t back out now” garnering attention and likes across the board.
Reggie’s collection, while it doesn’t appear to be complete by image alone, contains notable albums such as Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Conker’s Day Fur Day and GoldenEye 007. We think owning any of these with Reggie’s signature on cassette would be a pretty awesome addition someone’s collection. Only time will tell if Reggie and Omni will make a deal.
