Well damn, Nintendo throwing the surprise post-E3-timing Nintendo Direct. Last year’s was so ridiculously late in the summer that I honestly presumed we’d see something similar this year. I did question my belief a moment when it occurred to me that Pikmin 4 is going to need some attention and it’s only a month away… but nonetheless, Nintendo announced a Nintendo Direct for tomorrow. In an attempt to make some fun for even the smallest slice of this site, I put together another Predict-a-ton for this year on short notice. I would have loved to put a little more thought into it and done a little more prior research, but this is what we get this year. What’s that about a gift horse’s mouth, or something? Anyway, let’s take a break from Tears of the Kingdom and 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. Any predictions coming after the 10AM ET timing for Wednesday the 21st of June won’t be counted (but we’d love to still hear if you suspected things from the Direct afterwards)!
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.
