The galaxy is at skeletal chaos
E3 2021 is done. Kinda. Maybe. It was mostly streams and some will probably still happen. The Nintendo Direct way of doing things has become the more mainstream route of late for reasons. Iwata has looked down from heaven and smiled.
But still, whowonE3? Headpats for owning hardware are what really matter. I would have been able to provide this answer if Sony had shown up, but it’s probably hard for them to show anything when PS5s don’t exist. I’ve seen a monstrous lie in a Playstation kiosk at Best Buy, but not PS5s.
So, unable to supply a polling option for Sony, I had to rethink my “who won E3?” polling options and I formed the following categories, then asked the Destructoid community to cast their vote in a quickpost.
Additionally, given that some responses gave unserious answers like “Microsoft,” I created a sixth category since two people enthusiastically mentioned skeletons. Anything that was an unserious answer after that was awarded to skeletons.
Here are the results in the form of a pie chart:
As you can see, Nintendo — possibly better known asMetroid Dread— is the clear winner. Something calledElden Ringfollows that with a humble seven votes, but skeletons almost threatened to take its spot! Good thingElden Ringlikely also has skeletons. Actually, let’s just combine those two categories to give skeletons a fighting chance!
That’s better and it reflects what everyone is about. Metroids and skeletons.
Here’s what some community members had to say aboutMetroid DreadandElden Ring:
As you’re able to see, skeletons turned up. Indies also had a modest showing. I had asked for specifics, but we had two people really passionate about killing Chaos as well. They may as well be taken by the skeletons. Or “Unrivaled, unrelenting skeletal chaos,” asFlanxput it.
“My backlog” only got one vote, which proves about E3 what Spock once said about having not being as pleasing a thing as wanting. This was after he tried to kill Captain Kirk because he was horny, though. Take that for what you will.
Thanks to everyone that participated in the poll! you’re able to read the other responseshere.
We might not all be able to have PS5s, but we can have Nintendo Switches and everyone has a skeleton. So, in a way, skeletons won E3.
