New York Game Awards and GG! Fest tickets (which includes the big, Supergiant Unplugged concert) are now available! Get them before they sell out!

This is the landmark 15th year of our New York Videogame Critics Circle’s existence. To celebrate, you already know we’re launching GG! Fest. The first Good Game Fest guest on 1/17/26 at 2 p.m. will be former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aimé. At that moment at SVA Theatre, Reggie will be joined by Circle President and Founder Harold Goldberg for a Fireside Chat.

Later, you’ll have the opportunity to have pizza with Reggie!

Judging simply by his social media numbers, Reggie Fils-Aimé was the most popular president of Nintendo of America. But he accomplished so much more than fans of social media. Among other topics, Reggie will talk with Harold Goldberg about his time at Nintendo, joining the Board of our nonprofit, and rise of Devon Pritchard (who will be the newest president of Nintendo of America).

For the second half of the Fireside Chat, Reggie will be joined by Ronald Gordon, our program associate and Roundup Columnist, and Kimari Rennis, assistant producer at LucasFilm Games. Both have been with the Circle’s internship program starting when they were 14 years old!

Finally, we’ll announce winners of Pizza With Reggie. On Awards day, 1/18/26, lucky audience members of the GG Fest audience will have the opportunity to have a brief, casual lunch with Reggie, Harold, Ronald and the gang as we prepare for the 15th New York Game Awards! (You must have tickets for both days to participate in the Pizza With Reggie event.)

With GG! Fest, we want to do something special for the community as we celebrate 15 years. Pizza With Reggie will be just one of those special moments.
