After two years of hibernation, the E3 Predict-a-ton is back!!! Last year in particular was a weird one for everybody and it was the first year in decades without an E3. Pseudo events tried to replace it but Nintendo didn't really participate. This year, E3 is all-virtual but Nintendo is all-in! So in the spirit of the season I was excited to resurrect the Predict-a-ton for E3 2021! 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 by the end of Friday, June 11th, as that's the eve before E3 technically begins on June 12th. I don't think it's clear as of writing this whether or not Nintendo is sticking to Tuesday for their showcase but a lot of events happen before then, so it's best to presume news will be rolling in by then.
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. With news of a Switch Pro swirling like a pinwheel during a monsoon, one of these might go out any moment.
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. That includes the Digital Event, any potential Treehouse streaming, press meetings, online news... everything that happens before the digital doors close at the end of Tuesday, June 15th.
