Not really. Sega of America was initially doing great, and Sega of Japan wasn't about to be showed up by the US branch, so they made it their mission to cut SoA's legs off at every opportunity. Hell, SoJ didn't even tell SoA that the Saturn existed, let alone that it was in development. SoA's president ended up calling it quits and got replaced by Bernie Stolar, a muppet who tried to kill the Saturn in the US simply because he hated it. He's infamous for saying "nobody in America wants RPGs :troll:" despite the fact that FF7 dropped and was selling like gangbusters.

This also isn't getting into the fact that the Sega Saturn was a mish-mash of dumb as fukk decision making because SoJ wasn't forward thinking in the slightest.

That's true, I'll give you that. It's why I don't blame companies that didn't bother to keep master copies of their games. Who could've guessed what digital distribution was back then?

Yes I'm aware Bernie the Devil Stolar played a major role in Sega's downfall. Sega Saturn was a hit in Japan it was going head to head with the PS1 due to having a variety of games such as Rpg's, shooters and etc North America missed out big time. Sega Saturn Japan officially stopped operating in 2000 whereas in North America it was 1998 in preparation for the Dreamcast.

The Sega Saturn's processor was very complex, but it was mainly intended to be a 2D platform console. Kudos to the developers that took their time to make some nice looking 3D games on the Saturn, again the Jap's got the best 3D releases comparing to us in the west.

That's more on Sega than the devs. Making games for the PS1 was painless compared to making them for the Saturn, which is why so many devs went to the Playstation instead of the Saturn. Ports for Saturn, because of the system architecture, nearly had to be remade from scratch.

You want the sista to lose, huh? :birdman::mjpls:

Haha. I love Naomi. It'd just be cool to see her in a feud where something interesting and unexpected happens. :ld:

I want Naomi to lose it and to have to kick Rusev in the face during a fukkery-filled match of the night to ALMOST get it back. :francis:

Then, she can get it back later in an emotional, psychological win... :whew: :blessed:

...only to, unexpectedly, get cashed in on right after. :damn:

She needs a story that makes for a good dramatic pre-match promo video; a chance to flesh her character out.

Shinsuke Nakamura May Have Accidentally Referenced Dolph Ziggler's Post-WWE Plans

During an interview on Talking Smack with Shinsuke Nakamura, he was asked to play a name association game with all of his opponents at Money in the Bank. When it came to Dolph Ziggler, Nakamura put him over as being a very good wrestler and then may have accidentally let some information slip out.

When discussing Ziggler further, Nakamura said that he would be going to Japan in a few months. There has been recent talk about Ziggler's contract being up fairly soon so the Japanese superstar may have inadvertently revealed Dolph's post-WWE plans.
