Resolution Criteria

This market resolves to YES if there is credible evidence that Pope Francis watched the Nintendo Switch 2 Nintendo Direct presentation that is scheduled for April 2nd, 2024. Evidence could include official statements from the Vatican, reliable media reports, or verifiable social media posts from Vatican officials.

The market resolves to NO if:

• Pope Francis explicitly states he did not watch the presentation

• The presentation occurs and there is no evidence of the Pope watching it within 7 days after the event

Background

Pope Francis has had some limited interaction with video games in the past. In 2016, he received a copy of the video game Undertale from YouTuber MatPat during a meeting with content creators. However, there is no public record of Pope Francis actively engaging with gaming events like Nintendo Directs.

The Nintendo Switch 2 is the anticipated successor to Nintendo's popular Switch console, with an official presentation expected on April 2nd, 2024.
