Nintendo. Banjo 4 Smash let’s go. I love Banjo. #gamersriseup
I was most excited during the Cyberpunk 2077 announcement with Keanu Reeves in the Xbox press conference. The game looks amazing and I’ve been pumped to play in the futuristic world it takes place in.
Really excited to play the new Luigi’s Mansion, from Nintendo. The first Luigi’s Mansion was the only game I had for Game Cube for more than a year. I only had that game and no memory card, so every run had to be from start to finish. Even with this limitation, the game was so good and fun that it was worth it every time I had to restart it. Hopefully the third one will be just as good after a disappointing second game.
I’m definitely most excited for the game Cyberpunk 2077 by CD Projekt! I’ve been waiting for years to play another RPG with the same level of quality as the Witcher series. Cyberpunk 2077 looks have a detailed, interesting, and complex world/story! I really appreciate a company that doesn’t lie, cheat, or steal from their devoted customers. I’m more than happy to support CD Projekt’s work and can’t wait to experience their new game next year!
I’m looking forward to the next generation Xbox. Having taken a hiatus from gaming and skipping the current generation of consoles, it will be fun to start playing again.
Of course it’s gotta be Nintendo and the sequel to Breath of the Wild. As someone whose played basically all Zelda games and Breath of the Wild being probably one of the best they’ve done, a sequel to that is for sure going to be awesome!
Has to be Cyberpunk.
The different levels in Super Mario 2 from Nintendo is my fav. Love this game I a, actually good at it
I was really happy when usgamer.net announced the release of Far Cry: New Dawn. My daughter and my husband love playing this game together. Watching them get so serious and playful at the same time is a beautiful sight (not like the game lol). It was developed by Ubisoft Montreal and published by Ubisoft.
Very excited about botw sequel. The first one was great and I can only imagine what nintendo has planned for us in the zelda sequel!
I’m most excited about Borderlands 3 from Gearbox. Borderlands have never disappointed me, and the new trailer and gameplay awed me. Looking forward to its arrival.
I’m so excited for Zelda breath of the wild for Nintendo Switch. The first one was incredible and having heard what people have said about this new one and seeing the trailer I can not wait!
There are so many games that I’d like to play but there’s one that stands out. The game that I am most excited about is Final Fantasy VII Remake. A classic with a new twist, somewhat. I’ve been a fan of that series since the first one and I am happy to hear that the 7th instalment is getting a remake. I cannot wait to play it!!!
I am excited for Luigi’s Mansion 3 , i enjoyed the other ones and think it will be fun ! Announcement by Nintendo direct , Nintendo Switch System ! I am so excited to have a game night when this comes out , i have been playing with the Mario brothers from the time i was a little kid !
honestly i’m surprised at what call of duty is doing. Ive seen and read some of the articles and it seems like its going to be a major step up from the previous games a couple of years ago. might give cod one more shot
I am really looking forward to Halo Infinite! I ha e played Halo since the original in 2001. Hearing that music and seeing the chief again is amazing! Also can’t wait to try out the new streaming services and Game Pass Ultimate!!
The Breath of The Wild sequel news from Nintendo at E3 got me really hyped. Breath of The Wild is a single player game, and having siblings to share tv time with made it annoying at first because we all wanted to play at the same time, but the game is just as good to watch as it is to play. The visuals are gorgeous and the open world and lack of rigidity in shrine puzzles keep the game entertaining. Really excited to see more of this story, and hopefully more of the other Champions as well because Mipha and her grace has my heart.
I’m most excited for the new Xbox console, Project Scarlet. I’ve loved my Xbox One, and I can’t see where this next step takes things.
My choice would have to be Cyberpunk 2077. Keanu owns 2019, so this is a no-brainer.
Nintendo did it again! Cant wait for Link’s Awakening, the graphics look amazing! Everytime a Legend of Zelda title is announced Im always ready to go.
I’m most excited for SuperMario 2 from Nintendo, because Mario was my first crush. LOL
The super Mario 2 would be so great
I am most excited for Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order from EA. The reason this announcement is important to me is because I love Star Wars, and I love single player games. Being able to immerse myself in a Star Wars game without having to interact with other people or wait for game queues is very appealing.
I’m most excited about Borderlands 3 from Gearbox. Borderlands 2 was one of the most fun games I have ever played so I really look forward to playing the new one. Gearbox does an amazing job in making their games… with the sense of humour put in the games, the characters, the gameplay itself… making it so enjoyable overall.
I’m most excited about Zelda: Breath of the Wild II from Nintendo. I wasn’t sure how to feel about the open world concept but after playing the first one, I was hooked! I loved exploring and the freedom of the game but felt the main story line a bit short. I’m so glad they’re making sequel!
The Gaming announcement I am most excited for is Microsoft XBOX Project Scarlett. Finally, a backward compatible console that supports 4K
Loved The Breath of the Wild sequel announcement by Nintendo for the Switch! Can’t wait. So many memories.
The announcement that has me most excited in 2019 is The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild sequel now being in development! I loved every minute of Breath of the Wild and knowing officially from Nintendo that a sequel is in development for it has me very excited. I can’t wait to dive into the world on Hyrule again and fall in love with the new world they create. It’s especially great how they’re describing it as “darker than Majora’s Mask”. I was hoping for a sequel in the style of Majora’s Mask so this announcement was exactly what I wanted!
The reveal of Banjo-Kazooie joining Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at E3 2019 was one of the best things I’ve ever seen Nintendo do. I’m excited because it sets new precedence of Microsoft (who owns Banjo) and Nintendo working together to give fans what they have been asking for. I can’t wait until Banjo and Kazooie join the fray this Winter. 🙂
I’m very excited about dying light 2 cause I already played the first one and i really like it. So now im really excited to see what the second one will be.
A lot of great games shown but Final Fantasy 7 Remake stands out for me. When the original came out I was a student and didn’t have much money for anything. I bought FF7 and a PS1 from Walmart, played the game as much as I could for 2 weeks and returned the PS1 back to Walmart because I couldn’t afford to keep it. I still have the PS1 game on my shelf, one of my favourite games of all time and the Remake looks amazing. Can’t wait to play it!
I am excited for SuperMario 2 from Nintendo, i remember playing mario years ago on the first nintendo!
The announcement I was most excited about was Halo:Infinite for the next gen Xbox. I have been a long time Halo fan and some of my fondest gaming memories were playing Halo with my friends. I cant wait for the next entry in the Halo franchise.
The announcement that excited me the most at E3 2019 was Microsoft’s announcement of a release date for Halo: Infinite and being a launch title for the next generation Xbox This excited because I have been a long time Halo fan and played every single game in the series. I still have fond memories playing the original Halo campaign in split screen with my friends, its one of my best gaming moments. I cant wait for the continuation of Master Chief’s story.
I’m excited about Planet Zoo from Frontier Developments because I simply love gaming that involves animals. Hopefully it will come to other formats as well as the PC one!
The announcement that has me most excited in 2019 has to be the recent announcement from Sony & Kojima Productions that Death Stranding will be coming out on November 8th. Death stranding looks really unique and I’m a huge fan of Hideo Kojima’s past work on the Metal Gear franchise, so I can’t wait to see how his new game turns out.
I’m excited about the game SuperMario 2 from Nintendo because I love the characters and the music. It’s nostalgic.
I am most excited by the announcement of Xbox scarlett, the next generation console by Microsoft. This system will have several features which usher in the next generation of video game systems including: GDDR6 RAM, 8k resolution, ray tracing, and the inclusion of a solid state drive which the system will use as additional RAM to make it extra speedy. Even better, it is backwards compatible with Xbox one as well!

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. Is it a game, a console, or something else?

I would have to say the Microsost Xbox Project Scarlet, the reason is, being a console gamer all my life that we will finally get to see real pc quality gaming in a console with superior frame rates and the games developers wont have to comprise on there vision as well as better loading times, the future is now and Microsoft cares about the quality that they put into there consoles while letting backwards compatibility live on. these feature are going to make gaming overall even better and that excites me.
The Halo Infinite announcement by Microsoft Game Studios & 343 Industries for Microsoft Windows, Xbox One and Project Scarlett!! So many childhood & adult memories from the entire Halo saga, cannot wait for the next entry. Can’t wait to sit down with friends again and make some new memories with Master Chief!
Can’t wait till 2020!!
I’m most excited about Nintendo’s announcement of a sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game for the Nintendo Switch because of the stunning landscape and because it deserves a sequel.
Zelda Link’s Awakening by Nintendo. The gameboy handheld Zelda games are the only ones I’ve never really played, so I am thrilled to get the chance with this beautiful remake. New Zelda games make me excited like no other series can. The art style is adorable as well.
Black Ops 4, the best game ever and the best way to ignore my nagging wife. Please pick me.
The xbox conference show microsoft still have some interesting title for the time remains to current console gen, The Outer Worlds is really the game i’m looking foward for 2019. Sony event is comming this summer maybe why there not at E3 this years and there still a lot to look, like Death Stranding it’s my most anticipated game for 2019 for PS4
Cyberpunk 2077, excited to see what master piece CD Projekt Red brings to this gen of consoles.
CD Projekt 1 Cyber Punk 2077 is one of the reasons I’m exited for the future of gaming.
Looks amazing And I love story base games.
I been on destiny 2 far to long. Great game but I need a different experience and I believe Cyber Punk 2077 believing in gaming that’s fun. Thank you
I’m really excited about the new Watch Dogs game. I want to be the granny!
I am most exited by the announcement of “Persona 5 Royal” (announcement made by Atlas) because the original Persona 5 became my favorite game of all time. from the themes to the game play, music and themes the game just means very much to me, it helped me through a hard time and the re-make just looks like the original but more so i am overjoyed by its announcement and all that is still to come.
I’m most looking forward to Luigi’s mansion 3 on the switch because I have heard so much about it.
Super Mario Maker 2 from Nintendo because of all the different levels.
