  1. I’m excited for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare by Activision. Call of Duty games have been my favorites by far and I’m sure the new Modern Warfare will not disappoint.

  2. New animal crossing game from Nintendo because I know my girlfriend is looking forward to it.

  3. The gaming announcement that I am most excited for in 2019 is for the new entry in the Fire Emblem series, Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Developed by Intelligent Systems and Koei Tecmo Games, the manufacturer of this game is Nintendo and it will be eventually released on the Nintendo Switch. This upcoming game release is important to me because the Fire Emblem series has always been a standout leader in the strategic role playing game (sRPG) genre, and it has been a long time since the last console-based release. Furthermore, the game will be introducing all-new mechanics and gameplay options, such as walking around and interacting within an academy, which is totally new to the console Fire Emblem games. Can’t wait for E3 to have even more details and perhaps see an in-depth game demo!

  4. Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 release date. I am only getting a switch because of this game. Beyond stoked.

  5. I’m super excited for Smash Bros Ultimate on the Nintendo Switch because of the awesome gameplay and effects. I’ve tried it a few times and it’s really fun.

  6. I’m most excited for Halo Master Chief Collection coming to pc! Been a longtime halo fan, and recently picked up my first ever gaming laptop & am so intrigued to see how my favourite shooter of all time plays with mouse and keyboard! 343 industries really knocked it out of the park!

  7. I’m excited to hear about Google Stadia, I’ve been a long time Xbox user from the original Xbox to Xbox 360 to the Xbox One, but the Google Stadia is an interesting concept I want to hear more from and see how Microsoft and Sony react to it

  8. Borderlands 3 from Gearbox
    Just one of the best series I’ve played in the era of modern console. I’m a fan since borderlands initial release in 2009

  9. Boarderlands 3 by Gearbox software!!! I can’t wait to go explore a new online world with my friends.

  10. I have been a Nintendo fan since 1991! I’m so excited for the new Pokémon game Nintendo is developing. I imagine young me playing Pokémon Gold and how my mind would be blown away by The Nintendo Switch! Thanks Best Buy for such a cool opportunity!!

  11. I’m most looking forward to IN THE VALLEY OF GODS by Campo Santo. After their amazing hit, Firewatch, I’m eager to see what they’re able to do in this next game!

  12. Nintendo: Dragon Quest XI is coming to Switch. This is important to me because the game is a throwback to classic JRPGs, a genre that is synonymous with Nintendo, so having the game available on the Switch seems more than appropriate.

  13. Can’t wait for a new trailer for Pokemon Sword and Shield! Nintendo is the best. Also, cannot wait for a new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC character!

  14. Ffvii remake looks amazing, but so many games got me excited: Borderlands 3, Modern Warfare and Pokemon just to name a few.

  15. The nintendo Switch ! Ever since I was young, we always had the newest addition to the Nintendo family! The quality of the games is unbelievable too !!

  16. We watch E3 every year, and I am excited for Ghost Recon Breakpoint from Ubisoft. The Division 2 and Ghost Recon were excellent games and therefore I can’t wait for the next instalment of Ghost Recon and actually any new updates for Division 2. The graphics, the storyline as well as the many many missions you can do that will keep you engaged and return to this game. I believe this game is available for all consoles and PC do every one wins.

  17. Sony announcing the PlayStation 5. I don’t know a whole lot about it quite yet, but I am really interested in the direction they will be taking with the console and what it will mean for the future of software developed on it. It is most important to me because the consoles set the groundwork for what games are being made by the biggest studios. New experiences come out on the PC all the time, and I love that. But money matters and the big money goes invested into multi-platform experiences. I really want to see the new tech transform what I’m playing and how I play it, and I want to know if Sony plans to take a further investment with VR on the next generation of consoles.

  18. I am so hyped about CoD Modern Warfare!! It will definetly be one of the best in the past years. I am looking forward to win a pc because I actually need one for college next year…

  19. HAVE YOU SEEN THE PS5?! that thing looks incredible, I honestly can’t wait for it to come out. I can’t wait for the clear picture on my new tv as well as the backwards compatibility!!!!!! Bringing back my childhood!!!

  20. Include in your comment the manufacturer who made the announcement, the title of the gaming item, and why this announcement is so important to you

  21. To be honest, there’s so many games and consoles on that list from Borderlands 3 to the Next Xbox or PS. I had so many favourited but no matter what, I’m most excited for the Avengers Project Game being published by Square Enix and developed by Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montréal. I’ve been waiting so long for this game since its reveal in January 2017. I have been waiting for the Final Fantasy VII Remake Game as well but I believe that the Avengers: Project Game is more unique and possibly totally different than the Remake as I’ve already played through the original Final Fantasy VII.

  22. I am beyond excited for Death Stranding, coming from Kojima Productions. Not only does the storyline look amazing, but for the PS4 Pro the gameplay looks mesmerizing. I think it will be one of the best releases for the PS4 Pro Console.

  23. Can’t wait for the PS5 announcement! I still remember getting my first PS1 as a kid… this is HUGE! Can’t wait!

  24. The game is am most excited about in 2019 is Metroid Prime 4 for Nintendo Switch.
    I love it because its an action packed game with hours of entertainment and I can play it anywhere since Nintendo Switch is so portable and easy to carry.
    I usually play it in the Toronto transit while going to work.

  25. Nintendo prize pack 1 or 2. I have always been a huge Mario fan since as long as I can remember. New super Mario bros deluxe

  26. The official news from Sony for the ps5 was pretty hype. Or the leak for Deck13’s The Surge 2 got me pretty stoked; looking forward to see the progression the team has made with this game compared to the first entry

  27. I’m actually just excited about E3 in general. It became a thing my dad and I started to follow years back. He actually bought “ME” my first gaming system when I was 3. So to be honest this prize would be for him. Kind of like a thank you for being brought up in a gaming family.

  28. I am most excited for the game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order by EA/Respawn Entertainment. I am a big Star Wars fan and would love to play this game. I am excited to see what this game is all about as the new battlefront games were not great because of some bad decisions made by the devs. I hope it is better this time and knowing Respawn from apex legends and titanfall, I can see that this game will be good.

  29. Borderlands 3. I already have it preordered! Can’t wait! Thank you for the opportunity to win this awesome prize.

  30. I am looking forward to a release date announcement for Pokémon sword and shield. I need to keep my collection of Pokémon up to date!! I already have sword pre-ordered despite not having a Nintendo switch.

  31. I am most excited for the game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order which was announced by EA/Respawn as I am a Star Wars fan and respawn entertainment made many great game series like titanfall and apex legends so I’m excited to see their take on a star wars game. I feel like if done right, a Star Wars videogame could be amazing but unfortunately with the new battlefront games, a lot of bad decisions were made which made the games not great so I’m hoping it’s different this time around.

  32. I’m very excited for Dying Light 2 by Techland Publishing! Hopefully it’ll be like its predecessor and feature a co-op campaign so I can keep connected to a family member I miss.

  33. I’m most excited for a game coming out shortly after E3 – Astral Chain. Developed by Platinum games and directed by Takisha Taura, the same game director for Nier: Automata, this is the first new IP on a Nintendo console that I’ve been excited for in years. Hoping it’s as good as it looks!

  34. The new Animal Crossing game! Calms me down after a long and stressful day. Also, no one is cooler than KK Slider! Now I have to get a Switch.

  35. I’m excited for the possible reveal of the PlayStation 5, as my favourite brand is Sony, and the reveal of Pokémon Sword&sheild, I love GameFreaks and Nintendo’s Pokémon games, and I’m also excited for Halo on the Xbox, Microsoft did a great move here to restore the old Halo game to current day

  36. I am the most excited that Ubisoft has said they are continuing Rainbow Six on next generation consoles. this is the best game I have ever played and I look forward to playing it into the future.

  37. I’m most excited for Star Wars Jedi: fallen order! Developed by Respawn Entertainment and announced at E3 2018. I can still remember playing Jedi Academy back on the original Xbox. Always been a big Star Wars fan especially when it comes to gaming, knights of the old republic was also an awesome game back in the day! Excited to give this new one a go when the time comes!

  38. My most anticipated game so far would have to be cyberpunk 2077 anounced by CD Projekt Red. The art style is looks amazing, maintaining a oarderlands style without looking cartoony. I think it will look its absolute best on playstation.

  39. I can’t wait for Marvel’s Avengers by Square Enix! Ever since they annonced they were working on it two years ago, I can’t stop thinking about it! Really looking forward to it.

  40. I’m really hoping for Xbox to announce more on the new halo game coming out because I’ve been playing halo since it first came out.

  41. At first I was going to say borderlands 3 from gearbox been a fan since I played the first one and a loot oriented first person shooter with characters full of personality was unheard of. Since then I’ve gotten my girlfriend into it and we love going online and co-oping to rifle threw a bazillion guns can’t wait to see what the next instalment will bring. But on top of all that I can’t wait to see the next dying light by techland the quality and dedication the team showed with the first instalment is a recipe for succès and if they build on what is already A great game it will only surpass its predecessor and for that I’m truly excited
