Fils-Aimé gained celebrity status among gamers following his appearance at Nintendo's E3 2004 press conference in May 2004.
In April 2016, Nintendo's annual financial briefing for 2015–2016 fiscal year revealed major changes in management positioning within the company and all its regional offices. Starting from June 29, 2016, Fils-Aimé would be appointed as executive officer of Nintendo of America for one year, and subsequently reappointed every year under the approval of Nintendo's board of directors.
Reggie Fils-Aimé was born to Haitian immigrants, who immigrated to the United States due to the conflicting political views of his grandparents. He was born in the Bronx and graduated from Brentwood High School in Suffolk County, Long Island and was accepted to Cornell University in 1979. While at Cornell, he was president of the school's Phi Sigma Kappa fraternity chapter. He earned a Bachelor of Science in applied economics in 1983.
