I can’t wait to see what they say about the new Xbox
My kids are excited about Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch. They’ve enjoyed Wild World and New Leaf and are looking forward to this next installment. Hopefully we’ll get more details on the game and a release date.
It’s for my son. I know he liked playing Assassin Creed but I never heard any announcements.
Super Mario maker 2 on the switch, been playing Mario games since I was a kid and enjoy them just as much today as I did when I was a kid!!

Extremely excited for Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order. Felt like EA really dropped the ball on battlefront 1 and 2 but I really like what I see so far with Fallen Order. Plan on buying it for my little brother and I both!
I’m Excited for Pokémon Sword and shield ! Been a Major Pokémon fans since it came out 20 years ago! Nintendo know how to make a game! Played my sisters switch and love the gameplay!
I was really excited for the release of the Mortal Kombat 11 game earlier this year that was announced by NeatherRealm Studios at The Game Awards 2018
I have always been a MK fan and the graphics on this was just blew my mind!
What also got me hyped even more for this game was that my friend was asked by NetherRealm Studios to be an Ambassador for the new game and I got to see her create and epic Scorpion Cosplay for the debut of this game.
Seeing a company continue to create games that I love and also allowing my friends to share their cosplay passion on a global scale was just amazing!
Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt Red. This game has been forever coming and just looks insane. If what we’ve been teased with over the years is any indication, this is going to be one crazy game.
Super Mario Maker 2 on Nintendo Switch
As I am a big Marvel fan I’m excited to learn more about the Marvel Avengers game that was recently teased by Square Enix. Also my fingers are crossed that Ubisoft will hopefully announce the next splinter cell game this year as it is one of my favourite game franchises.
Excited about the new Zelda Link’s Awakening game by Nintendo. I remember playing the original version when I was growing up and I can’t wait to play it with my son.
Any PlayStation announcements is what I watch for
I’m excited for Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled because the video game series of crash is a big part of my childhood and which is one of the many reasons I started playing console and video games in general
Super Mario Maker 2 on Nintendo Switch is what I’m excited for. Huge Mario Fan and will always be excited to try any New Mario’s Nintendo brings out
Excited about Battle Field it’s an amazing first person shooter that really puts you in the action!
Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Going to be a true first person game. With an in depth story line.
The ominous III posted on Larian’s website has me really excited, the speculation of Baldurs Gate 3!! Can’t wait to find out more.
I am most excited to see what Halo Infinite news we get, that series is so important to me and is a huge part of my childhood!
The gaming announcement i’m excited most for is EA and Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. I’m pumped for this because I love playing Star Wars games like Star Wars Battlefront II and I’m a big fan of Star Wars. I think this opportunity is great for me because not only do i get a better console with more storage, i’ll never have to say i don’t have anything to play anymore. Thanks for this great chance!
I’m a huge Zelda fan and I can’t wait for Nintendo and Eiji Aonuma to release a new Zelda game.
Super Mario Maker 2 on Nintendo Switch
I’m excited about EA and Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order by EA and Respawn since I prefer single player games.
I’m really excited about the Boarderlands 3 game announcement by Gearbox Software, my friend and I are playing Boarderlands 2 for the second time now! It’s one of the best shooter games, so no doubt Boarderlands 3 is going to be amazing. I can’t wait to see more gameplay at E3!
The only game that I can’t wait for is The Last of Us part 2 from Naughty Dog. It’s suppose to come out at the end of 2019, some rumors are even saying early 2020, but honestly for this game, I know it’ll be worth the wait. The story of the Last of Us was simply breath taking and so moving. Fans of the game have been waiting since 2013 to know what happens next to their story. I got so hooked on the story and attached to Joel and Ellie’s relationship, slowly growing throughout the whole game, from hate to a father/daughter relationship. That’s the game that I’m most excited for.
Stoked for the new CallOf Duty Modern Warfare by Activision and Infinity Ward, used to play MW2 for hours on end, hope this one brings the classic feel back!
Mario 2 on switch
call of duty modern warfare is going to be so sweet. it brings back great memories from childhood and it will be great to play it on the ps4 pro
The game that I’m really excited about that’s coming up is COD Modern Warfare. I’ve played COD games since the beginning and the first ever game that owned was cod ghosts. So yea can’t wait!!!
really looking forward to the new darksiders because there going in a new “fresh” direction and the last one was slightly disappointing.
I’m most exited for the new avengers game coming out because I absolutely loved Spider-Man PS4 so I have really high hopes for this game. I found out about avengers game from Gameranx their YouTube channel.
Can’t wait for Death Stranding for the PS4. Looks different, weird, and story focused so I’m down!
Mario Maker 2 for Switch
Switch Mario 2
The announcement I am most excited for is Pokémon sword and shield. My childhood was spent playing the Pokémon games. The nostalgia is real, they look so awesome! I haven’t stopped playing Pokémon games since Pokémon Red/Blue were released on Gameboy. This game is developed by game freak and published by the Pokémon company and Nintendo. These Nintendo switch games are so important to me because it reminds me a simpler time. Really hope I win!! Thanks Best Buy!
The announcement of Pokémon Sword and Sheild by Nintendo!! I love pokemon, and this seems awesome.
I’m really looking forward to some of the hardware announcements that’ll give us a peek into the Next Gen. Also curious to see if Nintendo will have any new Switch configurations to show.
Call of duty looking forward to it.
I’m excited for the new Pokemon games, Pokemon Sword and shield! Pokemon had been a huge part of my life for a long time, and I’ve played every single game since the very first generation! Can’t wait to have a new one! Nintendo is the manufacturer and they never fail to deliver!
Excited for the new call of duty. Reveal trailer looked sweet
Black ops 4 cause black ops 3 was one of the worst and the last call of duty was not my type of game! Ps4 is mine
I was super excited when Nintendo announced Pokémon Sword and Shield for the Switch. Pokémon has always been a part of my family’s life since it’s original release and I want that to continue
I’m excited for Microsoft to make the announcement for the new generation of Xbox consoles. This investment will show where Microsoft thinks the future of gaming is going. Can’t wait to play with my buddies online and have fun.
Animal crossing on the Nintendo switch. There hasn’t been one since the wii and I can’t wait!!
My wife and I are super excited for Mario Party on Nintendo Switch. We are a huge fan of Nintendo as a platform and anything Mario. Would love to try out Nintendo Prize pack 1.
I’m waiting for Halo Infinite since his announcement at E3 last year. I am in love of this franchise since I was 13 years, I remember playing on halo 3 with my older brother and kicking his butt. I never bought an Xbox one because all I have is a PC, i’m a student so it was kind of necessary.
Thanks for reading and must the prophet of truth have mercy of our souls! ^^
I’m very excited about upcoming games on the Nintendo Switch like Super Mario Maker 2 and New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe (both by Nintendo) because of the nostalgia that Mario games bring as well as the continued quality and innovation of this franchise. I’m sure E3 will bring even more exciting news
I’m hyped for Pokemon Sword and Shield because who doesn’t love Pokemon??? I’m also anticipating the possibility of the next DLC character announcement for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate! Long live the Switch! Nintendo for life bay-bay!
I’m super excited about Super Mario Maker 2 on the Nintendo Switch; I watch some streamers who play Mario Maker 1 on Twitch like Grand Poo Bear, and the hype is real.
