I have seen marvel avengers game teaser in 2014 so Can’t wait to play marvel avengers ! That’s the only reason I am excited for.loved each and every movie they came up with and now it’s time to play.
For me, its The Legend of Zelda: Cadence of Hyrule (Switch – Brace Yourself Games), Zelda has been around since I was a kid and now my kids play it! (although, there are so many games we are excited about!)
I am most excited for Nintendo to announce the new animal crossing game for Nintendo switch, I’m a big fan of the franchise and I can’t wait to see where they will take it next.
I’m most excited about the PlayStation 5. I can’t wait to see what they pack into the next generation console. The nice to onboard SSD is a big step, and I’m going to finally get into VR at home!
Easily the new consoles rumored to come out in 2020
I am most excited for the Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening game for the Nintendo Switch by Nintendo that’s going to come out later this year. I am really excited for this game because ever since I was younger I used to play The Legend of Zelda franchise, from the The Twilight Princess on the Nintendo Gamecube all the way to Hyrule Warriors Legends on the Nintendo 3DS. I’m hoping I’ll get to play Breath of the Wild soon too as I currently don’t have a Nintendo Switch. Thank you!
I’m so hyped and excited about Death Stranding is coming this year. Can’t wait to play Amazon delivery guy simulator lol:)
To me it’s got to be Death Stranding by Kojima Productions and released by PlayStation. Since the disappointment of the cancelled Silent Hills , I’ve been looking forward to the next Kojima masterpiece. Hideo Kojima, in my mind, is the most brilliant and creative storyteller in the gaming industry. His Metal Gear saga , is my favourite series of games of all time. And all that is due to his and his team’s brilliance. When Death Stranding was announced , I as well as millions I’m sure, were excited to see what he has in store for us. And I for one didn’t mind the wait, for brilliance requires patience. We don’t have to wait much longer now. November 8th is just around the corner.
I’m super excited for any news related to Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red never disapoint and the game seems to be everything I want in a game ! My guess is we’ll get trailers at Sony’s conference.
Pokemon on Nintendo Switch
Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch has me the most excited. My fiance has been wanting this game to come out on the Switch since I picked it up and I’ve been following the news for years to keep her in the loop. I Have never played an Animal Crossing game from Nintendo and am excited to give it a try myself. I really hope Nintendo announces the release date at E3 2019.
I’m really looking forward to Square Enix’s Final Fantasy 7 Remake announcement. Final Fantasy 7 has been my favorite game ever since I played it for the first time on the original Playstation. Since then I’ve probably played it over a dozen times and have bought most versions that have been available for purchase (Original, Greatest Hits, PC version, 2 digital version (Vita and PS4), so I’m really looking forward to this game and hoping they do a great job.
Most excited for Gears 5 because ive been playing gears since day one

I’m a big kid and want Yoshi’s Crafted World.

Because the Contest is open to residents of Canada.
Death Stranding for sure left me in awe.
I’m most excited for an Animal Crossing title on the Switch, it has me nostalgic about my childhood
I’m excited to see something about Metroid Prime 4 (however unlikely). At the very least the Metroid Prime trilogy remastered on the switch would fantastic as well. Those games are excellent and it’s been a long time since we’ve gotten a new game in the series.
CALL OF DUTY: MODERN WARFARE for the PS4…is the most excited I’ve gotten from a game announcement since San Andreas. This game really turned me into the gamer I am today, and it legitimately taught me patience and discipline as I would cut down my friends and online strangers. It gave me confidence i the real world when I dominated in that one…and it’s just a bad ass game and had the best levels! I cannot wait to see what they did to this game.
I most excited for Final Fantasy 7 Remake announced by Square Enix for PS4. Having played the original game back in the late 90s on PS1, the remake is a game I have been waiting for for years. The characters, the story and the world are so rich and deep and I can’t wait to see that all of that reimagined with today’s hardware.
I am most excited by the announcement of the game Star Wars: The Fallen Order by Sony. My oldest and I both love Star Wars related items, and we have both have watched played and enjoyed almost every product for Star Wars. So this will be a continuing joy for us, especially since they also announced more Clone Wars stories, which he absolutely loves.
I’m most excited for the new Doom Eternal to be released this year, I’ve been playing that game since I had a computer then on Nintendo and now on PS4. It’s going to be so awesome.
Final fantasy vii remake from Square-enix. My favourite game of all time.
Have to say that I’m most eager to hear about the next generation of Xbox consoles and for Microsoft to unveil gameplay for Halo Infinite as I have been a Xbox and Halo fan since first sliding in the Halo Combat Evolved CD into my brand new Xbox which I bought at Future Shop way back on November 15th 2001. It will be nice to share the next iteration of the Halo franchise with my boys as they have become Halo fans as well.
The announcement this E3 that has me most excited is that Oculus after 3 years is coming back to E3. This is very important since In my own opinion, Vr is the future of gaming and with the newest release oculus quest and oculus S, the massive wave of people who bought the quest since you do not need any powerful pc to use it, its going to be a good E3 to show exactly what the Vr Gaming future is heading too. an example of one of the games being showcased is Asgard’s Wrath by Sanzaru Games, which is a beautiful combat vr game which in the trailer seems to be using real time reactions to attack/dodge/block. So very excited for what the developers of the Vr side of the gaming industry been up to.
I am excited for the Nintendo switch console and games. My son has become interested in video games and it would be fun to play the games I remember playing as a kid with him.
I am most excited about the new remake of Link’s Awakening announced by Nintendo a few months ago. That game has a special place in my heart. So much nostalgia. I cannot wait to play it!
all about the next Xbox
I’m most excited for Death Stranding from kojima, the game looks very interesting. Im a fan of kojima especially his works on Metal Gear franchise
Oh most definitely the Final Fantasy VII remake on PS4 (Square Enix of course). Some of my fondest gaming memories with that game. So excited to see how they tweak it and what they are able to add, would love for some more time in Midgar!
I’m really excited for the announcement of a new Microsoft Xbox! We’ll see the what the future of console gaming is going to be at E3 2019! So excited!
I am really excited for athe announcement of the Cyberpunk 2077 Game by CDPROJEKTRED. This is because I know they will put out a great game with no pay to win features, witcher 3 was amazing and the DLCs were just as big and interesting. Hopefully CDPROJEKTRED reveal more gameplay and a release date.
The announcement about the new Xbox by Microsoft. It’s always exciting to hear about new systems coming out and figuring out what new features it will have. I remember getting the first Xbox for Christmas and setting it up downstairs with my brothers. Can’t wait for the new one!
Im looking forward to see what the new Microsoft Xbox will look like as we’ll get to see what the future of console gaming will be. Very excited!
I’m super excited for Pokemon Sword and Shield by Nintendo Switch. I recently became a single dad of a 5-year-old boy and we have truly bonded over Pokemon.
I’m most excited for Gearbox’s Borderlands 3 announcement because everyone of the games so far has been fantastic.
I’m most excited for Luigi’s mansion 3 by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. ItMs time for Luigi to shine and I feel like this game will be really great! I have the first two on 3DS and I can’t wait for the third one on Switch.
I’m excited for Pokemon Sword and Shield for the Switch!
i played Wolfenstein on a PC running windows 3.1 in the early 90’s so i’d like to play Wolfenstein: Youngblood now. might be a slight difference in 27 years.
I’m really excited for E3, more so than most years. Cyberpunk 2077, Star Wars fallen Jedi order, skull and bones and last but not least, final fantasy VII remake. The original FFVII was the first game I ever bought as soon as it came out, full price with my own money and it was one of the better gaming experiences I remember as a kid. I’m extremely excited to see how the remake turns out.
Im pretty exited for pokemon sword and shield, as the pokemon series has been a childhood favorite of mine, and ive sunk countless hours into games such as pokemon black, and pokemon Y. On top of this I havent really looked forwards to a pokemon game in a while, so im exited to finally get back into the franchise. Nintendo has always produced the go to console for me and when I picked up the switch, I just couldnt put it down, due to its wide selection of quality games, and the ability to play on the go, as I drive around pretty often.
I’m really excited to see what else Sony has to show for the Final Fantasy 7 remake at E3. It’s been quite a while since they first announced the game and I can’t wait to see what that game is shaping up to be.
Pokemon Sword and Shield!!! Been a pokemon fan since day one and can’t wait for these two new titles 🙂
Out of everything I’ve heard so far, the Final Fantasy 7 remake is what I look forward to the most. My brother and I logged an embarrassingly high amount of hours playing that game as kids…lots of nostalgia there for us.
What’s got me most excited is the Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay footage that CD Projekt Red will present. This is the next epic RPG me and my wife are looking forward to experience together and create stories around. We can’t wait to know the release date!
The announcement of Pokemon Sword and Shield game by Nintendo has got me really excited for 2019. Been a fan since I was a child and I’m incredibly happy the franchise is doing so well. It’s also exciting because the core series of Pokemon games has always been on a hand held, but now I can play it on the go AND… I CAN PLAY IT ON THE BIG SCREEN TV. UGH, so excited.
Cyberpunk 2077 and new Xbox console announcement have me waiting and ready to be fired up!
