A proper trailer and game play footage for Halo Infinite for Xbox is at the top of my list. It’s been almost 4 years since Halo 5 dropped and I need my Master Chief fix! No other game announcement will come close to boosting Xbox’s brand! They better pull out all the stops.
I’m stoked about New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe (Switch). I’ve been looking to get into gaming again with friends as my work has taken more time these days and this would bring everyone together Still rock the older Mario games with friends from time to time
I’m excited for the recent BioWare announcement that some classics will be hitting the PS4 by the end of the year with some 2019 upgrades. Baldur’s Gate, Baldur’s Gate II, Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear, Icewind Dale, Planescape: Torment, and Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition. Love the classics
Most excited for hopefully a FF7 remake release date! Was the first JRPG I ever played on my original Sony Playstation. Bought every game ever since in the franchise. Been looking forward to this game for years so a release date would be something to look forward to. Fingers crossed.
I’ve always loved animal crossing ever since I was a little kid and played it on nintendo gamecube. Now I’ve learned that it’s rumored to come out for the switch in 2019! I play it on my 3ds as of now, but I want to see how it is for the switch! I am always lookin for new games for the nintendo switch so I’m super stoked for this. I think the new rumored pokemon game might be something I’m interested in as well, but more so excited for animal crossing. I’ve just always loved that game. I think the manufacturer who made the announcement was nintendo as it is a nintendo game.
The gaming announcement that has me most excited came from the The Pokemon Company’s Nintendo Direct presentation in February of this year. During this presentation, the announcement for the next generation of Pokemon games – Sword and Shield – was made and would be playable on the Nintendo Switch. I have been playing Pokemon games for 20 years now as they were the first games I was introduced to as a child. Having played Pokemon Red and Blue on the original Game Boy, the vast improvements made to Pokemon Sword and Shield since the first generation of Pokemon games makes this my most anticipated game of 2019.
I am extremely excited to see the gameplay reveal of the Animal Crossing game for the Nintendo Switch this year at E3 2019! I have been a major fan of the Animal Crossing series for many years. As a gamer, Nintendo has played a big part in my life. Nintendo’s influence is reflected in my everyday gaming and stretches as far as my personal relationships with my friends and family. Sharing experiences in gaming with my loved ones is something I truly value about being a gamer. And, to quote my girlfriend of five years, who isn’t a gamer, “I can’t wait for Animal Crossing! I’ll buy that game in a heartbeat!” – I can’t wait to share this new experience with her! Thank you Nintendo for many future memories to look forward to. And, thank you, Best Buy for this great contest opportunity. Here is to a GREAT E3!
I’m soooo pumped for borderlands 3!
I’m excited for Nintendo to show us more Animal Crossing 2019, but I’m also REALLY hoping they officially announce Pikmin 4!! I’ve always loved the Pikmin series, and it’s influenced a lot of my work as a game dev and an artist. I think we need more cute tend-and-befriend games, and Pikmin is unlike any other game I’ve played.
I’m excited for call of duty modern warfare because the graphics are stunning if that in game footage that infinity ward released in their trailer continues into launch. I haven’t bought any of the recent call of duty titles but this may bring me back into the series. I hope all goes well with the development process to hopefully make a standout game in the franchise.
I’m super excited for the announcement of Pokémon Sword and Shield for Nintendo switch, by game freak and Nintendo, I’ve been a fan of the series since I was a kid and am so excited to finally play it on the big screen. I can’t wait to hear more about it.
Excited for some of the newest Nintendo announcements. Cannot wait for the release of Pokemon Sword & Shield and the remake of Link’s Awakening for the Switch. All sorts of new adventures and nostalgia!
I am definitely most excited to hear about ps5 and that death stranding will be released for it!
Excited to see Final Fantasy 7 Remake and the new Pokémon games
Super excited about New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe (Switch). I’ve been a fan since N64.
Best game ever
I am very hyped for a new zelda game for switch or any other hype game! i’d be satisied even if there is not very hype games but new concepts for games such as crossplay because its rare for some people to play with their friends when you are mainly on pc and switch lets hope we get hype stuff happy e3 ♂️
i hope we hear about the new playstation (made by sony). i really it’s released late this year, though i know that’s just a pipe dream. i recently bought an 8k tv and am really looking for to what the next gen-consoles will offer.
I am excited to see Animal crossing for the switch. I’m looking forward to this the most because my girlfriend and I have been animal crossing fans for a long time and we love the franchise and can’t wait to see what they do next with it! It’s been so long surely they will show something!
Well I’m not too excited about video games but I have 2 grandchildren who constantly squabble over their console, they keep mentioning Zelda…I’m sure if I won I’d the Grandpa of the year!
Im honestly just excited for new information on the next gen consoles. Although games are quite nice. Playing a next gen game on a next gen console sounds great and the opportunity you guys are giving out here is so cool. Thank you guys!
Final Fantasy 7 Remake by Square Enix. I’m super excited about this game finally coming out with teasers, trailers and actual in-game footage. This was one of the games that I was perhaps a bit too young to really understand the core mechanics of, but I would always watch my older brother play it and explain whats going on in the game and story for me. Alongside that, watching playthroughs on YouTube, the Advent Children movie and getting the chance to even play the Crisis Core to see what brought up Cloud from Final Fantasy 7, to who he is known as today, was amazing. This is definitely one of those games and franchises I would have been willing to wait years for and looks like the time has come. I’m super excited for this one.
The gaming announcement I’m the most excited for is the Ps5 by Sony, I’m really looking forward for this console since I’ve been playing on the playstations since the first one. I’m also looking forward the VR updates and the cross platform if they make it possible. I’m really excited for the future of gaming and where it’s going to take us!
I’m most excited to see Nintendo switch announcements , really hope to see some luigi mansion 3 stuff or any new games coming to switch as the library has been lacking
Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint
DEFINITELY (although most people don’t know if its actually happening) animal crossing for the switch
I’m excited for the release of Skull and Bones from Ubisoft. Loved Assassin’s Creed Black Flag being a pirate just can’t wait to pillage.
I wanna win the switch or Xbox one x
NHL2019 it will keep my husband busy for hours.
Gearbox’s Borderlands 3 announcement has to top the list! The return of this iconic series is enough to excite any true vault hunter!
Heard that a new darksiders will be at E3. I’m excited about that. Beat all the games in the series so far. I enjoy the lore from the games.
Most excited about Nintendo’s announcement about the pokemon sword / shield game for Nintendo switch. I have been dreaming of a full 3D pokemon RPG adventure since first playing Pokemon stadium !
I’m so excited to here more about borderlands 3 by gear box. We have been waiting seven years for another mainline borderlands game. I can wait to see what the old gangs up to, a lot of the characters we’re hilarious but Tiny Tina is the best.Lol When i saw the trailer it gave me goosebumps and I pre ordered the game right after. Thanks for letting us share our opinions it was cool to read what other people are really excited about.
I am am most excited for in 2019 is Animal Crossing for the Nintendo switch! its made by Nintendo i am pretty sure! I am so excited bc it is Animal Crossing and Animal Crossing is life!!!!!! I just want to know more about it! I play the Nintendo 3ds animal crossing new leaf everyday still. It has been 6 years!
i also have to say i am excited for the new Pokemon game made by the Pokemon company for the Nintendo switch! i really cant wait to see new wolf/dog Pokemon!!!!
If I have to pick though I guess Animal Crossing since we didn’t get one for the wii u!
Definitely PS5.
I’m super excited for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 for the switch along with Last of Us 2 for PS4!
I am most looking forward to the remake of “The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening”. It is going to be nice to play an amazing classic with a modern art style! It’s also a great reason for new players to get into the classic LoZ games.
Definitely most excited for Nintendo’s Pokemon Sword & Pokemon Shield because we’ll finally have a proper Pokemon core game available on our big screen TVs instead of a handheld!
This announcement was made by Nintendo themselves and we’ll have more information coming up on June 15th!
I’m extremely pumped for Pokémon sword and shield on the Nintendo switch! Pokémon is my favourite childhood game and I always had fond memories trading Pokémon and battling with friends. Would love to see the game when it releases and would love to get a switch to be able to play it!
Super excited for the Release of Mario Maker 2 for the Nintendo Switch at the end of this month! (Pre ordered with Best Buy!) Also super excited for Luigi’s Mansion 3 for the Nintendo Switch!
I’m very excited to see how Microsoft is going to pull off the future of cloud gaming via Stadia.
This is very important to me as an IT Engineer and a big gamer, to experience the first cloud based games.
I believe it is going to be the future of gaming and a gateway to lots of other technologies.
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare (October, 2019) By Activision on the PlayStation 4!
This soft reboot has me excited to bring back the best memories and the reason I continue to play video games! 🙂
The Sinking City game by Bigben Interactive / Frogwares has my most interest. H.P. Lovecraft’s Cthulhu universe never fails to bring a great story to the table, even decades after he imagined it.
I’m super excited about Borderlands 3 from gearbox! It is my favorite gaming series and the trailer makes it looks like they really expanded on what makes it great with a brand new story
Pokémon Sword and Shield!! Gamespot just recently talked about at the upcoming E3 event and I’m super pumped. Pokémon has always been a nostalgic childhood game. It’s one of the few games that’s just never gets old no matter how old you are. I’m super excited for its release and would love to be able to play it on the Nintendo switch!!!
I’m excited for he Xbox one x with the division 2
I am pumped for the release of Halo Infinite developed by 343 Industries and published by Xbox Games Studios. I am interested to see what they do with this game and how it conpares to Halo 5.
I’m super stoked for Square Enix to announce FfXVI. I’d love to see them follow up 15 on the ps4 again. I’m so excited to hear about this I may replay 15 from scratch again. I love how there’s great replay and value in the FF series. I love a game that takes me months to play!
I’m most looking forward to Nintendo’s announcement of the new Animal Crossing for the Switch. I’d like to play it in Japanese so that I can improve my reading, it’s the best choice because the dialogue has Kanji with furigana which will make things easier to look up in the dictionary.
I am most excited for The Last Of Us Part 2, The Last Of Us is one of my all time favourite games and with part 2 coming out soon I’m suuuppper excited
I am looking forward for the New Super Mario Bros. Deluxe on the Nintendo Switch! I’m also very excited for smash bros!
