How was it one day ago wtf
My theory is that max Payne is John Wink's father
I noticed something wrong with your video. Mass Effect 3 was released in 2012, not 2010. Also, Mario has been around for almost 4 decades, not over a decade.
Sorry to tell you but Luigi's not evil in those games the reason he has that look is he's finally accomplished something on his own in Luigi's Mansion managed to save his brother and there's even a whole game theorists episode on it
"The Mario Brothers have been with us over a decade" wow!! in the 35th Anniversary great writing
I think its because they really dont play games. Fake gamers.
I mean technically they’ve been around for around 38 years
@@ihavenonamek733 cry about it
@@terra7145 as if i care who/what you are nor care what you have to say? All I see is something/someone upset. Uhm, I think that's crying. Lol
The statement is correct 35 years is over a decade
ben drowned literally isn't even a theory, it's a creepy pasta. cmon guys.
Ben drowned was a creepy pasta, while well made, a proven fabrication. Keep up guys. Not very well researched video
It was confirmed by developer that Mary is in fact in the back seat of the car, James didn't remember anything that happened beforehand and just started driving to Silent Hill after reading Mary's letter
The craziest thing about Mary's corpse in James' car is that it was confirmed to be _true_ . Silent Hill artist Ito even elaborated she was specifically in the backseat and James didn't notice her because he was repressing memories.
“The Mario brothers have been with us for over a decade.”
Uh...yeah... longer than that, dude.
I thought the same thing. Almost 40 years... so over a decade? Ummm.
Well, it's technically correct
I meannn he does say "OVER" a decade, not "A" decade, so technically dude's right. Although they're not a good choice of words to use when Mario has been around for almost 40 years though
@@jonnnnniej Technically it's not wrong, but it's also not accurate. You wouldn't refer to someone as 'over ten' when they are almost 40, which is the Mario Brothers' case.
@@goldfishprime yea yea, I understand how it works. Still, it's technically correct
WatchMojo releases Top 20 Game Theories.
MatPat: It's free real estate!
I think MatPat has already done most of these theories.
@@hobsonsortmon7167 and the majority of them are so easily debunkable that Mat Pat calling Game theory the smartest show in gaming is a total lie
If your fan theory involves the words, "lets ignore the game ending" (in 2020), its not a very good theory
Lol true
I love the Gary's Raticate theory as much as the next person, but my favorite Pokemon theory by far is that Ditto is a failed clone of Mew. Mostly because of the amount of evidence behind it.
-Pink when normal, same shade of blue when shiny.
-In Red and Blue, Ditto is located in Pokemon Mansion, where Mewtwo was created. And Cerulean Cave, where Mewtwo currently resides.
-They both have even base stats across the board. 100 in all stats for Mew. 48 in all stats for Ditto.
-They're the only two Pokemon that can naturally learn the move Transform.
Link being dead or not in Majora’s Mask has already been debunked. He’s not dead, the Hero’s Shade in Twilight Princess is the Link from both N64 games.
I like to think link was dropped into unlimited realities and both are possible
How about this theory: In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Tabuu is a symbol for our culture's disdain for adults playing with toys.
Think about it. In the original Smash Bros opening cinematic, the fighters are depicted as dolls/ toys, and the stages as simple household objects. Master Hand sets the fights up, and he's revealed in Brawl to be Tabuu's puppet. And regarding Tabuu's ability to turn the Fighters into Trophies; the trophies look an awful lot like Amiibo, which are classified under the "Toys to Life" genre. Is he simply trying to recapture a time in his life when he was allowed to have an imagination? Kind of sad when you think about it.
Gary? You mean Blue right? I mean did you actually ever play Pokemón WatchMojo?
They don't play anything. They do these lists to make money and don't even bother to research them at all anymore. That's why their pirate games list failed to include the Legend of Black Kat, their games where you play as a god list failed to include Okami, and they just said the Mario brothers have been around for over 10 years when it's been around 35 at this point.
The "Squall is dead" theory might make sense if there weren't sections of the story that take place outside of Squall's narrative (The rest of the party at D-District, the Missile Base and the rest of the party left behind when he and Rinoa go to space). I doubt Squall could have imagined what was happening to others. His lifetime of self-isolation has made him completely unaware of how other peoples' thought processes work.
The "Rinoa is Ultimecia" theory makes more sense, even though it has been debunked by the creators. Though I do think that Ultimecia is supposed to be Rinoa's descendant.

WatchMojo:
Also WatchMojo:
It has been debunked about Gary's Radicat he just switched it out for a stronger Pokemon, just like we do. As for Lugi being evil, it is Mario that is evil not Lugi, Mario always holding him back.
U might be on the something cuz I’m luigis mansion it seem like Luigi would have been cool if Savin Mario wasn’t his objective
Here's a theory Bowser is Peach's ex.
Oh man her downstairs must be absolutely wrecked,
Rinoa being Ultemecia was a better theory
"The Mario Bros. have been with us for over a decade." This is Mario's 35th anniversary. So, you're not wrong, but three decades would be more apt.
Oh, come on. The whole "ben" Majora's mask thing was a creepy pasta. Do your research, mojo!
Links not dead, in Twilight Princess the Hero’s Shade is what appears to be a fully grown male, and he references not being remembered for the hero he was, which is exactly what would’ve happened in the child timeline as Ganondorf was stopped before he attacked. Idk what MM is about, but certainly not his death.
Kinda want to see Luigi turn evil he’s always in Mario shadow
I'm surprised Crash and Spyro don't have fan theories. I'm also surprised that you guys didn't mention Mario supposed nationality is Mexican and he was the real villain for taking Peach away from Bowser.
Awesome video. And the Squall's death theory might be one the best, not only because of the "facts" supporting it but also because it changes the way we perceive the whole game after disc1.. its like having 2 possible stories in the same game.
Figured Gary's Raticate would be here
Can you do a list of Tales of series
It's been 16 years and still Silent Hill 2 messes up with our minds.
The fact that it was confirmed by the developers that Mary's body is indeed at the backseat of James car is so hunting....
The Mario Bros. have been with us for over a decade?...Like they just showed up in 2009
Yeah The Super Mario series has been around for over 3 decades!
was expecting final fantasy VIII to be here, but also expected it to be the one where Rinoa is Ultimecia
I was expecting that theory as well. Just finished FF8 for the first time, looked it some stuff, wandered onto that theory, and yelled to myself
“No fucking way.”
The destiny one is a bit... misinterpreted
Overthinking fiction: the true calling of the nerd. Represent.
“Final Fantasy Ex-2”
My God, how did I forget Pamela Adlon was in the English dub of "Final Fantasy X2"?
BTW, I think the "Earthbound" ending was inspired by a scary movie the creator accidentally walked in on as a kid. He went into the wrong movie theater showing a grisly crime movie about dismemberment.
Well, If Glados is Chel’s mom, she committed matricide at the end of Portal 2
Let that sink in
Uh, Chel doesnt kill Glados in Portal 2
@@Arthur_url oh shit you’re right, it’s been a long time since I’ve played the game. My mistake
to me it was Rinoa = Ultimecia.
One crazy fan theory that I'm surprise is not on this list I heard about for portal is that Glados (not sure if I spelled her name right) is actually a woman in bondage. There have been a few fan arts stating that theory and a few users did a comparsion from the screen caps to the artwork. Me I think whoever came up with that theory was really feeling kinky at that moment.
Can't blame you, and I would rather not know either..
In Pikmin 3, the planet looks like Earth based on how the tectonic plates are predicted to keep moving in the future
I know why the plant in fallout 4 resembles the same plant of the elder scrolls games, because is suppose to be an Easter egg. It doesn’t mean they are in the same universe is just a treat the developers made to pay homage to one of their other franchise, a lot of developers make this kind of stuff when making new games.
Final Fantasy 8 is my fave game! I'm kinda surprised you didn't mentioned the theory of Rinoa becoming Sorceress Ultimecia!
Uncharted and Last of Us in the same Universe we all knew.
Rdr and Gta same universe. Mgs 3 is virtual training for Venom Snake from Mgs 5.
Gary had a lvl 16 raticate. Rattata doesn't evolve into raticate until lvl 20. So that was a different raticate
Gary's Raticate was just replaced. His Ratata and his Raticate have different levels more specifically his Raticate is a lower level than his Ratata so its just a different pokemon
You mean half a century or decades Mario Brothers have been around since the 50s before games even came out
What about the theory that the weird Link Impostor things from Twilight Princess created Majora's Mask in an alternate universe?
??????
Can you do top 10 moments from Fantastic Four World's Greatest heroes?
YASSSS. That show is way too underrated.
I'm upset that the Minecraft theory about the Endermen being former humans isn't on this list. Like, how could you not consider it? It's an amazing theory, and with so much evidence piled up, it would do so much for us to acknowledge its existence..
Top 10 total drama characters
woah a top 20 video! really shaking things up
Theory #21 WatchMojo lists are selected by AI
I think Borealis from Half-Life and Portal universe has to be mentioned
#19: "So, Anthony..."
GAH!!! I don't even play this game!!!
Ben Drowned is a creepypasta, not a Fan Theory. It would be more accurate to put the theory that the Stone Tower is meant to represent the Tower of Babel, and the light arrows are designed to smite the denizens who rejected the goddesses in favour of the giants. Kinda bs that of all the amazing theories in Zelda, they focus in on an (admittedly great) creepypasta instead of an actual theory. At least they included Link being dead.
I know you guys do these daily but there has to be some rotation of writing staff that has to be at least trying to do more research than quick google searches.
Can you do comic book origin of Marvel's Griever?
I saw a vid of a thoery that link is doomguy plus i knew that uncharted and last of us are connected theory would be on the list
Godzilla's brain died whilst reading this
Wait, if Link is Doomguy? Does that mean, Link is best friends with Isabelle?
Number 17 is not an "insane theory". There are heavy implications of the planet in all Pikmin games likely being Earth.
Number 16 was already debunked. Even if it was something Nintendo "originally planned for", they most likely would have ditched the concept by time of Star Fox Adventures.
Number 12 is a well made creepypasta.
With Number 11, it's possible that's what originally happened. However, I would not be surprised if that was retconed with Fire Red and Leaf Green. Not that I would blame them for that one...why is Raticade the only Pokemon on Blue's team to die anyways?
With Number 8, what Itoi actually saw by accident when he was much younger was a really violent movie. He has denied the Giygas fetus thing.
Number 7 is also not an "insane theory". There is implication of this being indeed the case. Even Portal's 2 ending further enforces this.
Number 5; aside from the stages of grief theme, this has been dunked hard. In-game, the flowers Link can use will prevent Link himself from taking any damage. The weird statue of Link himself has actual life to its eyes, unlike the other statues he can create. Now to mention there is a minor character who states Link is basically alive. Also; if he died as a child, it's unlikely he would have learned the song of healing and later become Hero's Shade, Twilight Princess implies the Hero of Time might have married Malon, considering the Hero of Twilight is a farmer.
Number 1; would make realistic sense and explain some of the weird stuff later on, but has officially been debunked.
didn't you already upload this video this year?
WatchMojo: Top ten (insert category here)
Also watchMojo: Another top ten (insert same category here)
ALSO also watchmojo: Top 20 (insert part 1 and 2 category here)
🤦♂️
Hate the player? The game? Or the algorithm???
What's next? Yet another top ten of the same category thus resulting in top 30's???
🤦♂️x infinity

WE kill his Raticate? The theory I heard says Team Rocket did it 😳
in the early days of FNAF 1, Mat Pat made a theory of how the first game was based on the case of serial killer, Nathan Dunlap. he worked at a Chuckie Cheese until he got fired, this resulted in him killing the manager and three other workers one night. but one of his victims survived and was damning piece of evidence that sentenced Dunlap to death. in the game Mike the night guard was the killer. but we know now that the theory was busted due to the debut of William Afton. another theory by Mat Pat is that Rosalina from Super Mario Galaxy is Mario and Peach's daughter.
The legend of Zelda Links Awaking is a continue of Windwaker
8:41 this one is complete fantasy if you look at the stats of his Rattata and his Raticare their different pokemon aka he has more than one of them, if he is anything like the PC he probably has a box full of them on his computer.
I heard a theory that said you and all of your neighbors in animal crossing are dead and you’re all stuck in purgatory and the random gifts that float by in balloons are thoughts/prayers/gifts from your past loved ones
The Star Fox theory is hard core.
You can find Nathan Drake’s ring in a bank vault in The Last of Us 2.
But you can also find a ps4 alongside a copy of Uncharted 2 in it too. XD
U mean PS3
Mass Effect 3 DID NOT come out in 2010, that was Mass Effect 2. Mass Effect 3 came out in 2013.
Ah civilization, the game where Gandhi goes full nuke mode.
The indoctrination theory in Mass Effect 3 is already disproved by the developers, and they patched it with a DLC.
Small note: his name is not Gary, it is Blue
Link is dead????? And is purgatory? I can't make this up.
Actually, that theory is debunked.
Jesus, you couldn't have made a worse job at explaining the Indoctrination theory.
The Star Fox one isn't a theory, it's essentially accepted canon. AR-Wings are such high performance craft that even with the G-Diffuser they still put a very high G-Load on the pilots.
Pokemon one has been debunked. It's literally not the same pokemon
That thumbnail tho
I know these theories are allowed to be deconfirmed, but BEN DROWNED is a creepypasta, not a theory.
Shows a picture of The LoZ Twilight Princess on the thumbnail
Uses a Majora’s Mask creepy pasta instead as the entry
I was expecting the life is strange fan theories bcuz of Rachel Amber in the 1st season and little nightmare fan theories.
My favorite game theory is that the player character from fallout new vegas and fallout 4 is the same person.
What would happen if these video game fan theories were true? Are there any more theories like these?
Merry Christmas to everyone
What about doom and fallout being in the same universe? In doom eternal in the fortress of doom on a bookshelf you’ll find books that reference fallout one book titled “vault dwellers survival guide” and another book on Nuka-Cola
Also, on that Firefly Medal, it says Druckley. Cuz uk, Neil Druckmann loves himself
The Super Mario World one was debunked since Shigeru Miyamoto confirmed Super Mario 3 was just a play so the events didn’t happen
I always had the feeling that Assassin's creed animus and The Matrix universe is connected somehow and that the matrix is a chaotic future of Assassin's creed that turned wrong and the machine took over to control the gods and Neo was the only survivor with the DNA needed to defeat them loll
10 Mario joins the navy battle vs bowser and Dk lost friend and see ghost
Most of these are decent but the Fallout and Skyrim one doesn’t make any sense and is incredibly far fetched. Also, the Link is dead theory has literally been confirmed false by Nintendo
I havent watched yet but im guessing ff 8 on here
Number 1... Good call.
Concerning the FFX-2 is a prequel to FF7 theory a side-theory connected to the main theory is one that treats the 100% ending as canon basically this side-theory is that Cloud is a descendent of Yuna, and Tidus's child.
@@derrickhaggard how does that work if titus was a dream?
@@NSDCTwitch Well according to FFX-2's 100% ending after the main antagonist is defeated somehow Tidus returns to the physical world with all of his memories of Yuna, Rikku, and the rest of the gang from FFX intact Yuna seeing him runs up to him skeptical but excited at the prospect of her boyfriend/true love given a 2nd chance at life, and after Tidus does confirm that it's really him and not a hallucination she hugs him crying tears of joy and then it cuts to Yuna's home village a couple of months revealing that Yuna is now engaged to Tidus, with her retiring from the Sphere-Hunter/Treasure-Hunter lifestyle, and Tidus becoming a Blitzball teacher, along with the revelation that Rikku is helping Shinra with his energy project. Now the side-theory that connects to the main theory of FFX-2 being a prequel to FF7 is that Cloud is a descendant of Yuna and Tidus's son or daughter. Meaning this side-theory if proven true confirms the 100% ending is the canon ending for FFX-2.
But hey, it's just a theory... A GAME THEORY!!!!!
i,m not sure what happened to squall when disk 1 end,s and disk 2 start,s but as you see he was chained to a wall and tortured by siefer(?) his formally known rival in the original ff#8 i myself still got the original version of ff#8 one of my favorite video game's 💛🙏
but when will there be a mario brothers 3d sunshine mansion game where they clean things and swap places but also have an optional 2nd controller mode thats almost just for show
Also to farther legitimize the uncharted / last of us theory, in the last of us 2 you can find a ring that reads "sic parvis manga" in one of the safety deposit boxes in the bank on the first day of seattle that
The voice crack at 7:23
Luigi is a good dude, Mario on the other hand...
Expected the paper mario one
13 I know fallout and elder scrolls and I thick elder scrolls and Fable and witcher same Universe with the storyline
Mario bros.. over a decade? More like 30 years
For number five, this theory has been debunked. Link actually survives through out Majora’s Mask. He is also filled with sadness that many people may not know the events of the future in OoT. So, he moves on his life and help some people as ancient hero, but he is not known as Hero of Time, which makes him turn into the Hero’s Shade. Also, Hero of Twilight (TP Link) is blood related to Hero of Time.
Ff8 is by far my favourite of the entire series
1:17 so you're saying that Luigi is pretty much JarJar Binks? Lucas went too far with the clumsy and foolery that the idea of Binks being a sith was ditched. I've seen so many times the foolish character actually being evil. Binks was a case of failing to know when to stop or tone it down. People hated him. R.I.P. plans for Darth Jar Jar.
Ahh.Linky Winky.
