I Challenged Gamers to Predict E3 2021... With Mixed Success

E3 2021 is over and with Elden Ring showing up, Kazuya being added to Smash Bros and Final Fantasy Origins it was a bit of a mixed bag! Some may say it was impossible to predict, but is that right? Before the show I challenged the gamers of the internet to predict what would happen in the gaming future and THESE are the results...

[@BackseatYT]

Which of the many debunked rumours do you think will turn out to actually be correct in the near future?

[@ChroniclZ]

None its gonna be a pokemon rep next

[@ShadowPKMNcz]

Switch Pro, I would love to hope for Prime 4 but seeing as Dread was in an ethereal state if not existing and existing at the same time for like 15 years I cannot say I think that Prime 4 will come out during this generation.

[@FrnzFrdnnd]

Metroid Prime Trilogy

[@feroxino1051]

Ehh, I wanna say Waluigi

[@frothyslider253]

Nintendo usually stays away from announcing hardware updates at e3 but I’m still confident we’re getting a new switch. Hopefully with working joycons and the ability to run a game without massive frame drops.

People kinda always mention the same 20 characters when talking about the future Smash newcomers,and they were only right 2 or 3 times.

[@vergilsonofsparda2350]

Hit the nail on the head

[@frothyslider253]

Idk. The only characters I wasn’t expecting was Sephiroth, Joker and Richter. Most others were pretty predictable.

[@CarelessFoolFallsFlat]

A Tekken character was a really obvious pick in hindsight, but we'd spent so long without one that we didn't see Kazuya crouching down for an Electric Wind God Fist until it was too late.

[@frothyslider253]

@@CarelessFoolFallsFlat I think a lot of fighters pass 2 is characters that have been planned in the past. Arms, Xenoblade 2, Tekken. I wouldn’t be surprised if Monster hunter comes next.

[@thiago-3309]

The fact that the characthers most people expect are kind of rare to enter for some reason, this makes me believe that Dimentio can still enter in Smash Bros Ultimate

Can we just take a moment to appreciate how good Backseat Gaming’s choice of background music is? Great video as always!

[@windturbine6796]

I wanna see if you can predict the 2022 E3 with math?

[@shiny4984]

Failboat's bingo, i think it had 3-4 out of around 20 that weren't in it, he predicted almost everything

[@Verdego]

Man, this was a fun video! Hopefully we'll have an E3 next year to do this with...right?

[@BackseatYT]

Let's hope. It would be fun to make this a recurring rivalry between Twitter and KZbin

[@MinMin4theWinWin]

This was a lot of fun!!! I would love something similar next year!

[@mute_cebu_]

Again, your editing always amazes me. This time in particular, your music choices and timing. Satisfying.

[@StrangeDad]

If you just answered no to all the questions, you'd have a result of 90% correct guesses. I guess we really should stop listening to rumours...

[@DamnStraightGaming]

I really love your content Backseat! You have a fantastic way of combining random statistics and humor that makes every one of your videos, even those for games I have no relationship to whatsoever, entertaining. Keep being awesome!

[@Ultizeta]

This is one of the greatest channels on KZbin and I love the creativity you always display with topics, editing, and sense of humor. I'm always looking forward to what you put out next and this video was definitely another fun one to see. It's silly that I didn't even consider those Twitter polls would be the subject of a video at the time!

[@MikeGivesBack]

This channel is one of the best around.

[@sidthesquid4206]

Backseat's videos are always a treat!

[@qc3927]

never been so hyped for statistics before haha, keep up the great work, love your vids :)

[@Gratnor]

I was waiting for this

[@thejungwookim]

Backseat - one backside to KZbin polls is that the first option always has an advantage - it always happens

[@emvyst3618]

Here's an idea for a video: Every Mario enemy ranked by how good of a pet they could be.

[@idavid8391]

With an 18/20, plus a new Metroid game, I walked away from this all very happy and satisfied.

[@shiny4984]

Gabe HAS counted up to 3, so it IS possible that there will be a third game released at some point, i don't know when, or which game it will be, but it will be one

[@petscop2759]

Is there actually tangible (possibly video) proof of Gabe counting to 3? I don’t like to be skeptical but some things are hard to believe without evidence y’know?

[@Archway-9]

I still think the DK rumour is true, it was just that they were working on one, not that it would be announced

[@Wolfiyeethegranddukecerberus17]

What to take away from the video: Nintendo doesnt care about your feelings and does whatever the flip they want

[@cameronbates8742]

Awesome video!

[@boaz6816]

How have you not hit 1 mil subs yet

[@snowpoint720]

Amazing Video. Never played Fortnite, but with the new addistion of Book Characters (Mistborn) basically ANYBODY can be in that game. Unless a mathmagician used spreadsheets to figure it out.

[@NinjaPickle]

I answered the KZbin polls when they originally came out, and I got 13/20 right. For some reason my dumb brain clicked "Yes" to the new Switch when I didn't even believe the rumors, and I really was thinking Sony would come out from behind the curtain

[@MateusDrake]

I think the video would be more fun if we saw the percentages first, and THEN the reality of what happened.

[@finleykennedy7763]

Proud to say I predicted a new mario party game, sure I put it under the KZbin 3D mario game poll thinking we were just talking about any old mario game, but I take the wins where I can get them.

Yeah, DK needs a new game like yesterday.

[@DrRank]

I actually predicted that we would get a Tekken rep way back in December.

We're more likely to get an Ice Climber sequel than Mother on Switch at this rate.

If Nintendo does revive Ice Climbers it'll probably just be a "Ice Climber's 99" situation.

[@Jetanium]

Can we get an RE3make update video? I know it’s been a while but I’m still interested to see what you have to say.

[@vergilsonofsparda2350]

Since Capcom is almost certaintly making a RE4 remake, it'd be nice to see Backseat make a video on that in a similar style to his RE3make video.

[@ethsch13]

Kinda surprised that Lego Star Wars the Skywalker Saga wasn’t in the polls 🤔

[@KAPTAINmORGANnWo4eva]

Funny how out of all of them, only 2 of the 20 questions had the optimistic answer being correct. Well, depending on your view on whether wanting Microsoft to become more of a Blade Runner nightmare megacorp monopoly is optimistic or not.

To be fair, everybody thought a new DK was more likely than a new metroid. And it wasn't even Prime. Dread was a secret to everyone.

POYO

[@catriamflockentanz]

5:35 Especially on this channel. It's mathematically impossible that you haven't. It's also impossible as you just mentioned it and then said that you probably heard of it (as in just a second ago) making the impossible even more impossible, which is actually quite a feat as "impossible" is normally an absolute adjective. Well phrased, Backseat, well-phrased indeed. 6:20 No, you would rather say that a Woman is an inanimate object due to having a dragon-themed prosthesis. Whether that's better or worse than admitting defeat is debatable. 9:13 I still wonder why this is even a question. What has Nintendo to gain from it? Having a game come later to Switch, but you can play it right now via GamePass on this very device? Sounds like a recipe for a PR disaster...
