20 Best Ever E3 Moments

8. "My Body Is Ready" (2007)

Reggie Fils-Aimé strikes again, this time at E3 2007 when he appeared on stage to help Shigeru Miyamoto and translator Bill Trinen demonstrate the Wii Fit Balance Board.

Reggie came out and, as he stepped onto the balance board, told Trinen, Miyamoto, and the assembled masses, "My body is ready."

Reggie's comment was followed by a moment of hilariously awkward silence before the crowd sputtered into scattered laughter.

In the years that followed, "My body is ready" became a popular meme surrounding major video game announcements, and more than 15 years on, it continues to be popularly attributed to Fils-Aimé whenever he's brought up.

Hell, Reggie even referenced the meme himself in his own retirement video in 2019.
