If you can predict the completely unpredictable, you'll win a selection of wonderful prizes.
UPDATE: It is now 11:00 Eastern on Saturday, and the entries have been assembled. The form has been taken down. Good luck to everyone who entered... even the guy who picked Black Ops 3 Wii U with Amiibo support. The list of entries is in the Talkback below!
We are... oh sweet Arceus, a week out... from the biggest Nintendo news week of the year, and aside from a few vague ideas we have no idea what will happen at the show. What major Wii U game will get announced? Will Nintendo jump in to publish more SquareEnix games? Why is Reggie wearing a Birdo pin?
But if you can predict what happens at E3, you might win a menagerie of fantastic prizes, including something that sold out in under a minute on Amazon ten days ago.
How Do We Send The Predictions?
(There was a form here. It's gone now.) You’ll be asked to rank six predictions in how confident you are they’ll happen (6 is a Treehouse Live will happen, 1 is Nintendo buying Sony) and give three unscored predictions as well.
The person who has the most correct predictions will win the prize. Should there be a tie, the tiebreakers will be who was more confident in their guesses, then the most unscored predictions correct. After that, we’ll proceed to the dreaded drawing of lots. (Please note: Nintendo World Report staff will judge the entries, and all decisions are final. Limit 1 entry per person, no geographic restrictions on entry but if you're requesting shipment outside of North America there is going to be a significant delay in arrival.)
Here’s a sample ballot:
- Name: Donald
- 6 Point Prediction: Pokken Fighters will be announced for Wii U
- 5 Point Prediction: At least one Wii U game will be revealed in the press kit or on the Nintendo Youtube channel
- 4 Point Prediction: The Lucas Amiibo will be announced to come with a download code for Mother 3 on the eShop
- 3 Point Prediction: Xenoblade Chronicles X will be confirmed for an October release

So What Do We Win?
The person who is smart enough and lucky enough to emerge victorious will receive a very special prize package, which includes:
- A Tomodachi Life Frisbee and sunglasses set (in the winner’s choice of three colors for the frisbee and two for the sunglasses)
- A Super Smash Bros commemorative coin from the E3 2014 Best Buy demo
- And the grand prize: A brand new Lucina Amiibo.
Entries are due by Saturday, June 13 at 11 p.m. Eastern time to make sure they are all assembled in time for the Smash update video. Good luck, and may the Fox be with you.
