  1. I’m most excited for the Final Fantasy 7 remake announced by Square Enix. It’s the most engaging game I’ve ever played and I look forward to seeing what updated graphics will bring to the game.

  2. I am most excited to play Pokémon Swordand Shield on the Switch with my son. He is going to love it!

  3. I super excited about the newest Xbox Scarlett announced by Microsoft last year at E3. I’ve been an avid Xbox player since the original Xbox was first released and it just keeps getting better and better. Also some of these rumours about the cross platform online gaming seems intriguing and hopefully they’ll spill on some actual info about that at E3! Thanks for the opportunity to win

  4. I’m most excited for Cadence of Hyrule. It looks like a very fun new take on the franchise

  5. Can’t wait for Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled developed by Beenox. I played so much the original version on PS One and I’m very excited thinking about the old memories it will bring back.

  6. I’m much much older now than I was when the original NES was released; but I still have such great memories of childhood, playing Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, Final Fantasy, and other classics. I’m looking forward to seeing the next Zelda — when I read on CNET that the spinoff Cadence of Hyrule was coming out, it was exciting and nostalgic. I want to play these games again, this time with my kids.

  7. My biggest excitement so far has been playing assassins creed odessy. I’ve really enjoyed that game this year aswell as black ops 4.

  8. The new Avengers game from Square Enix is intriguing, but every game gets me excited like a small child.

  9. Excited about the link’s Awakening remake and Cadence of Hyrule! Also, hopefully, some news of what’s going on with Metroid Prime 4.

  10. I’m most excited for the Final Fantasy 7 remake announced by Square Enix. As kids, my brother and I took turns playing the game, and it is still the most engaging game I’ve ever played. I look forward to seeing what updated graphics would bring to the game.

  11. I’m cant wait for Death Stranding! Made by Kojima Productions. It’s Hideo’s new game after the Metal Gear Solid series and hoping to catch for the PS4. Hoping its a blast!

  12. I am mostly excited for PS4 Exclusive “Death Stranding” by Kojima Productions. Not only is it a game produced by one of the greatest story tellers in the industry, the game itself looks strange, unique, and just plain cool. I nearly lost it when I found out it was coming out this year! Kojima and his team must’ve been working their butts off.

  13. I’m excited for the Final Fantasy 7 remake. I Spent countless hours playing the original and have wanted them to do a remake for years.

  14. I am most excited about the PC gaming, Netgear nighthawk gaming router would be amazing for our minecraft bedwars game play!

  15. So many games to look forward to!!!!

    The big one for me is Final Fantasy VII by Square Enix! I cannot wait for what I’m hoping will be a PS4 release! We recently got a teaser of this game at Sony’s state of play event this year with a promise that more details were coming. The game is shaping up nicely! It looks absolutely beautiful and I am truly hoping we get to see some gameplay footage at E3 during Square Enix’s presentation.

    The nostalgia brings me back to when I played the original game on my brand new Playstation. It was one of the first 3d games I ever played. I remember discovering and learning the mechanics behind role playing games. It made all this accessible to me for the first time. I remember the success this game had, everyone was playing it!

  16. I am most excited for the Death Stranding game by Kojima Productions. In an age of remakes and franchise iterations, seeing something that seems fresh and new is truly exciting.

  17. I am most excited by the call if duty modern warfare from activison becose in my opinion, it is the best from the franchise and i play those game since am a little boy.

  18. Super excited for Activision’s reboot of Call of Duty – Modern Warfare for PS4. Been playing that game since I was a teenager, the last few games have been short of masterpieces. Hoping this one gets them back on track!

  19. I’m most excited for Death Stranding at this point and so stoked we have a release date for this year. Can’t wait to see what other kind of exciting surprises get announced! Obviously looking forward to what Square Enix has in store for us too.
    Get hype!

  20. Two Words: “Modern warfare” it’s about time that activision brought back a classic call of duty game that they’ve fallen away from. I can’t wait to play it on ps4

  21. I am most excited about Mario Maker 2.
    With more people owning and creating levels, this will be a non stop Mario extravaganza!! ( I also love to create fun levels).

  22. I’m super excited about Xbox joining live & gamepass into one fee and enhancing the experience..

    • This announcement is important for me because I love all the Elder Scrolls games by Bethesda. They are my favorite games and I specifically bought my first gaming PC to mod theses games. I can’t wait to play TESIV, it’s been too long since Skyrim in 2011.

  23. I’m most excited for Pokemon Sword and Shield game announced by Nintendo Switch. It is a upcoming role-playing video games with 8th generation of the Pokemon series. I have been playing Pokemon for like 10 years, start from Pokemon green leaf and Pokemon red fire. Those games were so amazing back in that time. Even these days, I still occasionally play my GBA to pick up those touched memories, especially when I tired with Let’s go Pikachu. Thanks for the chance to have me writing these. I love Pokemon.

  24. I am most excited about the new Links Awakening remake on the Nintendo Switch. I have loved Zelda games since I was a kid and Breath Of the Wild was amazing, so I have very high hopes for the next game as well.

  25. The day has finally come, a new Modern Warfare to conquer them all! Who wouldn’t be excited for the new Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare on Xbox by Activison? This is a massive leap for the the next generation of gaming as it will be cross platform gaming. This bring a whole new meaning to what the best system is.

    I used to convince friends to buy Xbox so they could play with me and I was convinced to buy PlayStation to play with friends. With multi-platform, now the best system will rise above without interfering with gamers divisions!

  26. Just built my first Gaming PC and it’s a monster. I’m waiting for a VR setup to compliment it.

  27. I’m not excited to hear who is the next DLC character for Super Smash Bros Ultimate. It is my favourite game for playing with my cousins.

  28. I am most excited to hear anything about a new Dying Light and also the Modern Warfare reboot.

  29. I’m most excited about Modern Warfare. I’m interested in seeing if the campaign involves missions that made captain price the way we see him in Call of Duty 4. This could be an interesting way to explore different opportunities in a theme that has already been established.

  30. I’m most excited for the Last of Us Part II announcement from Sony. I played through the entire first part multiple times…it still stands as one of the best games I’ve ever played on PlayStation. I even bought the remastered version to play too.

  31. I’m most excited for the upcoming ps5 announcement from Sony since the hardware of ps4 needs major upgrade to enhance gaming experience

  32. I am most excited for Mario Maker 2. The possibilities are just endless with this game and with the new added multiplayer races is just the cherry on top. I myself don’t own any consoles so I never tried the original Mario maker but I watch streams of it on YouTube. My boyfriend has the switch and we can’t wait to try out Mario Maker for the first time!

  33. I’m really excited about Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game on the Nintendo Switch. I used to watch my kids play it when they were little and would love to surprise them with it again 🙂

  34. I am most excited for the Borderlands 3 announcement by Gearbox.

    I am not much of a FPS or even third person shooter fan, but something about that series overcomes that. It might be the art style or creativity in writing, characters and stories. Or possibly all the guns. The ridiculous amount of guns.

    Either way it’s always been one of my favorites since I got my hands on the first one (and that’s saying something since I am usually an RPG/turn based strategy player).

  35. I am looking forward to the announcement of possibly a new switch model by Nintendo. Hopefully it brings about a bigger battery life and higher resolution so that I can spend more time on the switch without having to recharge every two hours!

  36. 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 ready for this years E3!

  37. I`m most excited for the game Cyberpunk 2077 developed and published by CD Projekt Red. I’ve been their fans since the witcher 3, they’re dedicated and detail focused company and the new game looks like it will be a different experience. I’m gonna play it on PS4.

  38. I am particularly looking forward to the Ubisoft conference, with games like Skull and Bones.

    I think they can achieve an incredible open world gaming experience like Watch Dogs 3. We won’t be disappointed by Ubisoft.

    Thanks Best Buy !

  39. Looking forward to Death Stranding! Can’t wait to see what Kojima can do with full creative freedom. Given the whole Konami fiasco, I want him to do well and show Konami that they messed up big time. The MGS has always held a special place in my family’s gaming history!

  40. I can’t wait for Cyberpunk 2077 (by CD Projekt Red). Their previous game, Witcher 3 outclassed everything else in the genre, and I imagine we’re in for a treat with this projekt 🙂

  41. I’m excited for the new Animal Crossing announcement by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. I’ve been playing Animal Crossing from the beginning, I’m still running my town in New Leaf, and Pocket Camp is driving my excitement to get a new full-fledged console release!
