They have a lot to live up to, but yeah.
Raw commentary not sucking was refreshing, too.
Nintendo is stupid for going after all those expensive, and totally unpopular, gimmicks, but you know who's even more stupid? the people who expects them to do anything different and throws a fit when they read they're not interested in graphics parity.
sometimes, just like with people complaining about the WWE but continuing to watch it, the best decision is to move on.

I'm thinking JBL will be better next to Mauro considering they share a lot of common ground (both like to make references to history and the sports side of wrestling). We'll see I guess.

Even after a hot Raw, which was great, people still complaining. "This shouldn't have been here" "this loss shouldn't have happened" "nobody was selling"
enjoy the goddamn show
Well you must be a kid then, only a kid would want that, unlike a mature and responsible adult like me. I am definitely an adult unlike others.
All consoles are toys, people, don't get illusions about that so you can look down on others. Just play the things and enjoy them.
they split the podcast in two, so you can actually skip all the fan emails and go straight into their analysis of the show.
i personally like hearing people reminisce about the good old days, and the hosts personality/humor prevent it from getting boring.
but yeah if you don't like their humor I can see why it wouldn't be for you. that's the main hook imo. the various impressions/use of carny language kills me damn near every time.
don't make me shoot on you seph
gamecube first party was god tier. the problem with that console was the "barney the dinosaur" kiddy marketing, mini discs and a controller that lacked buttons.
if nintendo pulled it all together and released a console on par/stronger than the competition, with third party support, strong first party output and nothing that makes you say "lol nintendo" like we've been saying since the fucking n64, they'd probably have a very successful console. at least more successful than these gimmicky shits they keep pushing out.
you play pokemon go, kid? walking around staring at a phone screen catching anime creatures?
I'm one of those people. But I think I'm at the point of acceptance where Nintendo is never going to put out the system I want
Mario Sunshine was shit
Double Dash was shit
Star Fox Adventures was shit
Wind Waker was shit compared to Ocarina and Majora
It has most of the shitty Mario Party games
GameCube's lineup was like amateur hour compared to the N64 and SNES.

I wonder if they originally wanted to take longer to build Sasha/Charlotte but decided they should start the build for Sasha/Bayley instead for the next WM. Give her the title now, still work with Charlotte/whoever but you can pretty much guarantee the guest partner thing is the first step in their "once friends, now bitter enemies" video package (besides NXT)

Just give me a decent screen on par with a average smart phone or tablet
It's really just the screens that drag current N hardware down a lot.
The marketing was fine, the discs were fine, but I'll grant you the controller.
I like Mario Sunshine quite well, but I see why many people don't. Animal Crossing and Waverace were great, but worst Mario Kart, worst Smash, too many Mario [thing] games, etc. The best first-party release is probably the Zelda collection.
No, the problem is that they already did it. It was called the SNES. The world evolved, but Nintendo Future refused to change.
I mean, I will end up getting whatever NX is the moment they announce Splatoon 2 but outside of that, I don't expect much from it.

If SDs shit tier roster makes it possible for Luke to at the very least battle for a strap, then the draft was worth it.
It's not happening

I fully expect Raw the gradually drop everything cool that they did last night as time goes on, WWE has a habit of trying things once and completely forgetting about them.
The match during commercials was apparently a one time thing.
There was the time they tried the old school PIP interviews for about 2 weeks before giving up.
You can never count on them for having any kind of consistency.

Wasn't the first Raw with Shane running it like really good, but then by the next week or two it was back to bleh

Why I oughta...
Sunshine was amazing. Melee is one of the GOATs. Metroid Prime is one of the GOATs. You had the GOAT Paper Mario. F-Zero GX.

Though I can't dispute the bolded, Gamecube's lineup was still great!
It wasn't. Gamecube became the kiddy, fisher price console when matoor games like GTAIII and Halo ruled the world. The mini discs also held less data than the traditional DVDs of the PS2 and Xbox, which made things difficult for third parties.
this episode reminded me of the first two or three Raws after this year's WM, then Payback happened and they went back to the same boring shit.
Considering that they had driven third parties away with N64 carts already, they weren't worried about third parties as much as MS or Sony.
Also, the N64 was put out with a giant plastic Pikachu on the console at some point. Compared to that, the GC looked like something from Sharper Image.
RE4 and REmake weren't first party games.
Also (I know I'm in the minority with this) fuck Melee. If Brawl didn't happen it would be my least favorite Smash game.

Lemme tell ya, Doom just feels RIGHT on a mouse and keyboard. I feel so much better with it as opposed to the controller. It's so gorgeous.
I've never been much of a fan of Smash Bros. Not a party game kind of guy unless it's Drawful.

The only way SD is gonna live up to Raw is if they have AJ Styles get the title match against Ambrose, but I don't really think they can squeeze that into SS because it would be wasting a hot Cena-Styles feud.
I have no idea who Ambrose can even fight. I guess Bray could finally get a main event slot or something.

Whoever had that HHH theory a few pages back was probably on the money.
It wasn't nearly as good, specially if you take in consideration the format and new dynamics. This RAW felt genuinely fresh, from looks and commentary to even how the performers worked.

I think sami is the biggee star and Id have loved to see Sami/Rollins
Finn can learn a lot from sami, especially selling and showing some emotion in a match. Sami has cut better promos and looked more believable
Im kind of upset he was in a fatal four way. I worry it cooled him off, but Im hoping he gets a big feud next week
I dont get the Balor love, and while I like seeing Roman become mortalized, I dont really care about Finn. I think even Cesaro getting a win on Roman would have been wonderful. Somehow, it would have been more believable, as seeing Finn win just looks like Roman is being nerfed hard
Wwe has better stars than Balor thay deservd the rub off Reigns. I just hope Balor can do something besides the stale nxt stuff.

I mean, I almost like the idea of HHH coming in to do the job but I think you make your roster look fucking weak as shit if you have to bring in ringers on the first PPV.
That brand needs Samoa Joe, and it needs Samoa Joe yesterday.

Oh definitely, there's a bunch of improvements that weren't there before. But I mean they're working hard to put their best foot forward for this one week to get people's attention. I hope they keep putting in a similar amount of effort for other weeks
Sucks to not have the announce table at ringside but that shot of them standing in front of the whole arena is awesome.
Just wait, we will have a new Barry Horrowitz come out of these one day

Yeah even if ICW had kept the ball rolling since last year (which they have not from what I have read) they'd be in a real tough spot.
Now they are in a "this show might kill the company" situation.

More importantly, Balor is popular with women.
Soon, Roman won't even have this to cling to:
And there will be only this:
Miz, AJ and Cena will elevate the show

...yes? He kind of has to be on the show, he's one of the upper-midcarders for the show.
