To me the show has never been about the money - the prize is the honor and achievement of beating the whole thing. Yet G4's trying to change that perspective by putting up a huge reward (not sure if it was intended, probably not). Spot on, Nova. And that's what's so offensive. It's as if G4 is saying, "You're not running Sasuke right. Let us show you how to do it."

While technically Sasuke IS a Game Show.. That's not what it's all about.. It's an experience for everyone involved in it.. Look at how devoted alot of people are.. I don't think most game shows would have a community like this.. But G4 is trying to make it more like just another Game Show.. That's not what this show is about.. I'm sorry for restating everything that has been said in this topic but I just felt I had to say it..
Also when I saw the topic title when clicking it this time I thought it said "The big mess by G4", Technically that's true but it's not what the topic is called.. XD

Wheel of Fortune gets more viewers then Ninja Warrior. Dude.. You're completely missing the point.. This isn't what Sasuke is about... I apologize for this guy.. I know him from another forum and he joined here for some reason.. I guess to PM me when the host for those 2 forums went down.. Look.. He has two fail MP3s already if needed..

In the United States there's this thing called "sweeping" where you're job is to go on game shows. Wheel of Fortune is one. Why are you hating on Wheel of Fortune dude?

1) Wheel of Fortune is on cable. In most places, G4 isn't even in basic cable. 2) WoF get 10 mil viewers MAX. Sasuke 23 in Japan got 18 million viewers.

Because you're trying to say it's comparable to Sasuke just because of ratings.. If ratings were all that was important Sasuke would have been gone years ago, yet it keeps going so what does that tell you?.. Also this isn't America we're talking about... It's a show in JAPAN... Something I don't think you understand at all
(Like I said everyone.. I apologize for him.. He already has two mp3s)

How G4 seems to be trying to making Sasuke about the money and not the experience.. Sasuke and Wipeout are nothing alike..

I .. Love .. Sasuke. Period. Always have, always will. Everything G4 is doing is simply to raise their ratings in the USA. That's simple and that's the truth. That's their job. That's what they want and have always wanted. The problem is that what G4 wants and what Sasuke needs are not the same thing. I can't genuinely say that G4 hates Sasuke but it sure has a real problem in saying it truthfully since nothing has helped Sasuke in Japan. That said I honestly and truthfully believe that G4 doesn't care. It gets ratings from showing old Sasukes. You don't need a new one to continue. JET in Taiwan lived off of syndication for years and people still clamor for Ninja Warrior/Sasuke even now never even seeing the new ones. 1. G4 doesn't need to help Sasuke in Japan. That's not their job. Their job is to simply air Sasuke in America. So far, they've done a great job at it. 2. TBS and M9 are big boys. They can handle their own show. They shouldn't need G4's help at all. I don't know if that's true. I base it off nothing really. The problem lies with the fact that I want new Sasuke to continue and that so far is not happening with Japan losing interest. G4 paying money to M9 for doing ANW doesn't help Sasuke in Japan. Japan doesn't like the influx of excessive foreigners or G4. They have spoken through blogs and they have spoken by not turning on Sasuke anymore. So anyone saying that money from G4 will help Sasuke simply does not understand the Japanese market and never will. So it's G4's fault for doing this? Lets see here. TBS and M9 both agreed to allow foreign competitors into its gameshow. G4 didn't FORCE this or anything. M9 and TBS are both big boys here, it's not G4's fault that foreigners are on Sasuke, it's the creaters fault. Also, f**k those bloggers. Why even defend those people. I truly don't believe they represent Japan and their culture. And if they are going to go as far as to not watch Sasuke because of it, than good riddiance. I highly doubt these people make a difference when it comes to Sasuke's ratings. You and I both know it, if all the hardcore Sasuke fans stopped watching Sasuke, it really isn't even a penny's worth to the millions and millions of casual fans who know maybe 3 or 4 obstacles and 3 or 4 competitors. These are the people who matter. And I don't believe that the American competitors causes these people to change the channel, especially considering the show beating Sasuke 25 was an AMERICAN movie. As for the money issue. It's in bad taste to wave money that by legal right no Japanese person can accept in a game show and leave it only to the Americans. If you have a problem with me using American or Japanese.. then that's your issue. That's not racism to use those words.. that's the truth. Both Taiwan and Japan both have gaming caps on how much you can legitimately make off of a single gameshow. G4 issuing that to only a portion of the competitors in Japan is just insulting. It's like going to a birthday party and someone else getting the gifts. It may not mean much to you but it's insulting to the others who will only see it as G4 grandstanding on someone else's show. But they have to go through ANW, while the other competitors don't. They have much more obstacles to battle through. I like Karzasmesd. Welcome to the forums guy Your cool, and the only nice guy here. Do u have skype? PM me your skype name. Oh, btw, do u know that guy named "RiderLingle?" Never heard of him.
