10 E3 Moments That Became Internet Memes

2. E3 Nintendo 2007 - My Body Is Ready

Who doesn't love Reggie Fils-Aimé?

Ever since he joined Nintendo of America in December 2003 as Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing, he's been a dynamic voice at the western heart of the Japanese company. Unafraid to make bold statements, show genuine passion and engagement in interviews and can also take/make jokes at his own expense, Reggie is definitely the breath of fresh air Nintendo needed.

It speaks volumes that after many successful years of marketing and being a frontman for Nintendo, he was promoted to President and Chief Operating Officer in June 2016.

His E3 2007 appearance became a meme after he introduced the Wii Balance Board for Wii Fit. As he stepped up for the body check he jokingly announced: "My body...my body is ready!" Of course, this quickly became a meme as the internet sought to re-purpose what the 'Regginator' had said. He also self-referenced it during the Wii Fit U demonstration at E3 2012.

Rock on, Reggie!
