  1. I’m most excited about Star Wars: The Fallen Order announcement from EA and Respawn. Expanding on that particular part of the SW universe is so potentially rich with narrative possibility, and should prove to be deeply exciting. Escaping into the Star Wars universe has gotten me through a lot of difficult moments in my life, and I am thrilled at the potential this has to enrich a universe I already love so much.

  2. I am most excite about is Nintendo announcement of pokemon shield/ sword. Finally, a epic rpg on console.

  3. I am not intending to enter the contest twice, but did not see my previously posted comment anywhere. I am most excited for EA’s new Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare 3 game, which they announced in March of 2019, as I love the first person shooter take on an already masterpiece of a game – the original 2D Plants vs. Zombies. I’ve experienced hours of endless fun while playing the first two garden warfare games and can’t get enough of the series! Each game seems to somehow become better and better and allows my mother and I to experience utter bliss whenever we have free time. This series, like many others, represents far more to me than the lines of code it consists of, but rather an endless experience that enables myself and my loved ones such cooperative fun that is far greater than the price I pay upfront. I very much appreciate the opportunity to enter this giveaway and wish everyone the best of luck!

  4. I am most excited about the trailer and release data of Cyberpunk 2077 during the Microsoft Xbox conference! I’m a huge fan of The Witcher series and CD Projekt Red and I’ve been waiting for Cyberpunk for a long time.

  5. Excited for Square Enix FF7 remake on PS4. I’ve been waiting since the original came out to see this game updated and remastered. Looking forward to it.

  6. The most exciting gaming announcement has to be Microsoft announcing CyberPunk 2077 from CD Projekt Red for the Xbox 1! Keanu Reeves coming out to hype up the crowd was fantastic and I cannot wait to see him in game. What excites me the most about CyberPunk 2077, is the dystopian-cybernetic world, we get to explore and cause havoc in, I have not seen a game like this one before and I cannot wait to play it!

  7. CD Project Red announcing Cyberpunk 2077’s release date (next year 🙁 ), Doom Eternal announced by Bethesda, Link’s Awakening and Luigi’s Mansion 3 (play co-op with my wife) coming from Nintendo

    Love the Witcher series and Cyberpunk 2077 looks like a better Deux Ex
    Loved Doom 2016 and played Link’s Awakening when I was a kid on my gameboy that my grandparent’s bought me.

    Luigi’s Mansion just because the last 2 were fun as heck.

  8. Definitely most hyped for Microsoft’s day when cbdr announced cyberpunk 2077 finally getting a realeas date always love the future distopia thing plus body modification is a really cool consept to me also happy Bethesda is finally fixing fallout 76 by adding npc’s really cool contest by the way

  9. Really excited about all of the Nintendo stuff starting as I’m writing this comment! Hopefully we will see some more news about Mario Maker 2, perhaps a new Switch version?! And always ready to see more Nintendo classics being announced!

  10. I am most excited for Respawn’s Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Am looking forward to exploring what happened post Order 66.

  11. I’m excited for Cyberpunk 2077 announced by no one other than Keanu Reeves(it was pretty awesome) representing Xbox. I played over 100 hours of Witcher 3 on my PS4 and I looking forward to put 200 on Cyberpunk!

  12. Square Enix’s announcement of the long awaited Final Fantasy VII remake is what I’m most excited about. Loved playing the game the first time around, and looking forward to playing it with updated graphics and a tweaked storyline.

  13. I am unbelievably hyped for Nintendo’s Super Mario Maker 2 out June 28th! For the past few years Super Mario Maker has brought me great joy through dark times and the new installment will bring years more excitement and entertainment. Thank you Nintendo and all the fantastic Maker creators, and most of all Thank you Best Buy!

  14. Definitely the Nintendo lineup and cyberpunk! Nintendo never fails to disappoint with their games and CDPR is amazing!

  15. From XBox’s conference, the Cyberpunk 2077 launch date reveal had me the most excited! With Keanu effin’ Reaves!

  16. Oh man there are so many, but I would have to say I am most psyched for Final Fantasy VII remake which we finally saw some sweet game play at the Square-Enix conference (it only took 20 years). Close 2nd would be PlayStation 5.

  17. Thanks for the contest BestBuy! Such a wonderful time of year for us gamers 😀 I am most excited for the new Modern Warfare announced by Activision, and for Star Wars announced by EA games. I am excited for these titles as the winters can be quite tough up here in Canada, and a little action on the screen keeps me happy! Would love to share the package with my 2 children… they would be so excited if we win! -S

  18. I’m most excited for Final Fantasy VII. I’ve been a long time fan of the FF franchise and this is one of my favorites!

  19. Definitely PlayStation 5 announcement from Sony! Can’t wait for the next gen console and see what it can offer. Basically owned every Playstation!

  20. Manufacturer: Gearbox
    Title: Borderlands 3

    I just cant wait to demolished and destroy things as Moze in Borderlands 3. Im glad they’re adding in a mecha into the series. Plus achievement hunting the Borderlands games was always fun.

  21. Cyberpunk, cdprojekt red is a trusted developer and so far everything about this game looks great.

  22. I’m really excited for the official release date of Final Fantasy VII Remake. The original FFVII was my first PlayStation game and I feel in love with the series. Square Enix made the announcement ahead of their press conference. Final Fantasy VII Remake will be the game to play when it releases in March 2020. It’s a rework of the original game, changing the graphics and gameplay mechanics.

  23. PlayStation 4 pro 1tb console! My ps4 stopped working and I just got farming simulator 19 for my birthday.

  24. I’m most excited about Watch Dogs: Legion, by Ubisoft, and that you can play any NPC. It really takes the idea of an interconnected network and hive mind concept to the next level. Helen is an interesting character – not your typical granny, she can stand up for herself. It really plays on the wisdom you get with age, and refreshing to experience in a video game.

  25. I am most interested in Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order by Electronic Arts and Respawn Entertainment.
    I would like to play it on PC (but I may have to upgrade a little), but am considering getting a new console for all the great games.

  26. I was really looking forward to a new Splinter Cell from Ubisoft, but alas, that did not happen(yet), they did announce the new Rainbow 6 Quarantine and that looks good! As a PC gamer the most exciting announcement for me came from AMD and the announcement of the new RX 5700 video cards, the price to performance(early numbers of course) looks good, it might be time to upgrade!

  28. Very First game I ever fell in love with was the original release of Final Fantasy 7. Now that its remake is getting released early next year, i am beyond excited and will be waiting impatiently for it to drop in stores.

  29. Honestly am so exited for the FFVIII remaster announced by square’s conference. I have wanted to dive back in for years and to see it all polished will be so great!

  30. Project Scarlett, Microsoft’s announced successor to Xbox One because the launch titles include the newest Halo Game, Halo Infinite.

  31. I’m looking forward to trying Sword Art Online: Fatal Bullet Complete Edition for the Nintendo switch. I watched both season 1 and 2 of sword art online, and it’s one of my favorite animes!

  32. i am really excited for the new pokemon sword and shield. and new playstation console. im a big fan of pokemon

  33. Microsoft’s announcement of Halo Infinite got me excited to finally get back into Halo and Xbox gaming.
    I’ve not really been into gaming over the past year as things have gotten a little stale so to hear this news got me wanting to play again so I cracked open Halo 4 and lit up a new campaign.

  34. CD Projekt Red’s release date announcement of their game, Cyberpunk 2077, got me extremely excited. I’m a big pen and paper RPG fan and I’ve also been following this studio since their release of the Witcher. That trilogy has shown the incredible amount of detail, world-building and complex storytelling the studio is capable of and I can’t wait to see it applied to a brand new world. I think it’s going to be a landmark title we will look back on.

  35. -the manufacturer who made the announcement: MICROSOFT
    -the title of the gaming item: BLAIR WITCH
    -why this announcement is so important to you:

    The horror genre of video games feels like untapped potential. There have been some great games lately (Resident Evil VII, P.T., etc) but as a whole it’s been pretty sparse. I’m looking forward to what they can do with Blair Witch and very interested to see if they can capture what made that film special when it was released. Plus it was a complete and utter surprise. No one expected 20+ year old IP to be turned into a video game in 2019.

  36. Im looking forward to the new star wars game as well as the Avengers game from square enix

  37. I can’t wait for Final Fantasy remake because I am a huge fan of the original and the series in general

  38. The gaming announcement that has me the most excited is Final Fantasy 7 Remake video game exclusively for the Playstation 4 announced by Square Enix for March 3rd, 2020. I’m really excited about it because it was the first game I ever played on the Playstation 1 console when it was first released and is my favourite game of all time! I think it’s so important to gaming because the gaming community has been showing the desire to have this game re-made for so long and have been so patient for it’s release it’s unreal that we’re actually getting it! There has been nothing but positive support with what we’ve been shown.

  39. Square Enix’s Marvel Avengers game is the gaming announcement that has got me pumped up this 2019 E3. After playing the Spidey game, I was blown away from seeing such an amazing Marvel game actually be great in this decade. I have grown up reading comics so this is awesome. Now seeing my heroes on the big screen is one thing, but playing as them? Cap, Widow, Thor, Hulk and Ironman look great. I was like ok sure no Antman, Hawkeye or Wasp, but they go on to say the roster will grow and they even give us a little Antman teaser too with Hank Pym shrinking that machine. Customization is soon to come, a good and captivating story is soon to come, I just can’t wait to see it’s gameplay. This game is going to be great for sure.

  40. I’m extremely excited about CD Project Reds Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox. During Microsofts Xbox E3 conference, it was really awesome to see Keanu Reeves come out and announce the release date. Can’t wait to play it next year!!!!

  41. Let’s face it, the biggest moment from E3 this year is Keanu Reeves being confirmed for CyberPunk 2077 on the Microsoft stage! That was the OMG moment from 2019 (since there wasn’t a Sony press conference…not that I’m bitter!)

  42. I’m excited about the announcement from Ubisoft about Watch dogs legion cause I’m a big fan of London and of the series

  43. I’m excited about Ubisoft’s announcement of watch dogs legion cause I’m a big fan of London and of the series
