To start things off, I must apologize for the lateness on this game’s release. With E3 officially dead, the whole cadence of the month has been a bit off. As of this post, Nintendo hasn’t even announced they’re doing anything at this time frame. However after watching some of the other presentations, I realized we should still give it a shot in case Nintendo surprises us with a Nintendo Direct on a very short notice. Thus, the ‘participation’ period for this year’s Predict-a-ton is from now until a Nintendo Direct starts, whether that’s this coming week or later. I sure hope they do one for Tuesday or Wednesday this week (which is my suspicion). I suppose there’s no harm in keeping the game alive until the next Direct, so long as I cancel out anything that ends up becoming determined ahead of time. So enough rambling, Let’s-a-go!
How To Play:
========================Here are four sets of statements. Pick all of them you think will come TRUE. (choose as many as you like eg. A3, A6, B5, C9, D10…)
Make your choices in a prudent manner! Each category is more valuable but also becomes increasingly risky. A correct pick means you WIN those points. An incorrect pick means you LOSE those points. This means you might even end up with a negative score, but you may just succeed with the highest total instead!
Please post your predictions as soon as possible, as we simply don’t know when the next Nintendo Direct will be. It could be in 24 hours, 72 hours, or 4 weeks from now… but don’t wait!
It proves to vote early though as any statements that are confirmed ahead of the presentation will be locked and no-longer viable for new pickers.
This one's obvious but NO editing. Your initial vote is your final vote, so make it count!
For the purposes of this challenge, ALL information that comes out during the course of the show will be taken into account. With this very non-standard year, this period will mean a standard Nintendo Direct and/or any Treehouse/sub-(but general) Directs that get announced during a core presentation. For example, if Nintendo had a Nintendo Direct on Tuesday, a Treehouse Live on Wednesday, and then announced an Indie-one next week, we wouldn’t finish tallying things until that last direct was finished.
