  1. I am excited about Final Fantasy 7 remake and Star Wars Jedi The Fallen Order. I am also hoping to hear news about new consoles.

  2. I’m most excited about anything Nintendo, especially the new Luigi’s Mansion game and a new Zelda game. I’m hoping to hear if there will be a new Mario game or some updates for Mario Party.

  3. I’m most excited for Pokemon Sword & Shield by Nintendo because I grew up playing the Pokemon series and am stocked to hear what they have in store for us!

  4. I can’t wait for Microsoft to announce the new generation of consoles . There has also been talk of a spectacular 1st person shooter that is going to blow people’s socks off…

  5. I’m excited to see more from Ubisoft’s Beyond Good and Evil 2. They haven’t revealed much about the game yet but, if they can realize the concept, we could have something truly groundbreaking; something that redefines games and open worlds for this and/or the next generation. It looks to be a very different game from the original (which I loved), but that game introduced a ton of innovative ideas at the time and I’m hoping to see something equally new and exciting from the sequel.

  6. Mostly, I’m excited for the new Xbox console announcement. Some of the hardware that’s rumoured for it to ship with sounds amazing!

  7. I’m most excited for the announcement of call of duty modern warfare! I can’t wait to play again just like the olds days! It’s gonna make me feel old, but it’s totally worth it! Haha

  8. I’m excited about the Death Stranding announcement from Kojima productions, published by Sony, that will be released November of 2019. This is important to me as this is Hideo Kojima’s latest game after the masterpiece MGS5. He is a great game directors and aim looking forward to what Death Stranding will have to offer.

    Special thanks goes out to “Martin Renaud
    Editor in Chief“ for giving this opportunity to us with Best Buy”.

    Nintendo prize Pack#1: why? B/c childhood memories and as much as I love Xbox/PS/PC, the classics always win over my heart and endearment, plus it would be a blessing to share it with my colleagues and closest circle of friends.

    Legend of Zelda steals my heart bc, when I got my first N64 and Zelda first came out, I had a gaming theatre night where I condensed all the games into a projector I narrowed from school and hosted a Zelda animated movie night and as a poor kid on the block it earned me a lot of friendship points back then and got me connected to the nerds of the group which later on helped me to guide other children with learning disabilities.

    Xbox game pass announcement is the greatest bc it’s simply the cheapest format to online gaming access for parents and those who take pride in the canadian dollar and the value of money in general. Thank Microsoft Canada and Microsoft Cooperation for their continual leadership and mentorship that promote quality releases for quality prices that respect the average joe.

    Specifically and clearly I have stated, genuinely and honestly I put in the time and dedication, respectively I want to thank all who are in charge of this opportunity and say simply one thing “may all that you do give special meaning and purpose to your journey, and may the force be with you all”… Godbless and best wishes to your lucky winner “of its me, expect many condolences and follow ups and posts”…

  10. Excited for more news about Gears 5, Borderlands 3 & New console.

    Also hoping to hear news on a release date for Animal Crossing for the Switch.

  11. I’m super excited about Stadia by Google, which is a cloud service platform allows people to play while streaming the games. I don’t have a good pc at home and really want to play games. This is definitely helping me to get started on those brilliant dreams!!

  12. I’m excited to see what Microsoft reveals about Halo Infinite. Halo is one of my favourite game series and has been a huge part of my life, playing co-op or split screen multiplayer with friends.

  13. Excited about Final Fantasy 7 remake from Square Enix on ps4. It is the game that made me buy a PlayStation back in 1997

  14. i am so excited to hopefully see some updates about the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 and Animal Crossing!!!!

  15. As always looking forward most to what Ubisoft has to offer, I pre-ordered Beyond Good and Evil 2 back in 2017 & have been playing the Assassins Creed franchise since its inception in 2007. They offer games I buy consistently and play all the way through. With the loss of Sony at this years E3, I am also steeped in anticipation for Nintendo’s conference as I recently bought a Switch console.

  16. I’m most excited for Nintendo’s Luigi’s Mansion 3. I love being able to play games with my daughter, plus who doesn’t love evyto do with Mario and Luigi !

  17. There is no real hype out for Luigi’s Mansion 3 and I can’t understand why! It’s become one of Nintendo’s prized franchise games and being on the whole console is going to make the experience like the first game on the GameCube. Being set in a hotel has so many questions to be asked, and hopefully be answered at this years E3.

  18. Can not wait to play the new Super Mario Maker 2 on the switch!! A classic with updated visuals and creation mode for today’s age. I’ll be playing for dayssss (aka forever). Woo hooo Nintendo for always pushing the boundaries!

  19. Borderlands 3 from gearbox software. After the near perfect sequel in borderlands 2, I’ve been waiting patiently since its release in 2012 for the next instalment. I love the charm and humour these games have packed into them and can’t seem to get enough from them.

  20. I’m very exited about ‘Death Stranding’ by Kojima productions. I was hooked when I first saw the third trailer for the game, which was like a short movie of really impresive quality. I’ve heard a lot of good comments about Kojima, but never really played his games, this is an opportunity for me to discover a fresh project from here. The game seems quite complexe and complete, so it would be very long to talk about every aspects that got me exited, because there is a lot. My only problem is I don’t have a PS4, so winning one would be perfect.

  21. Manufacturer: Kojima Productions
    Game Title: Death Stranding

    Im super excited about Kojima’s DEATH STRANDING!! Always been a fan of his Metal Gear Series. His storylines are just unbelievable. After seeing trailer and realizing that Death Stranding is also an open-world game, thats what has me sold already. I am a huge fan of open-world games because i love to able to go anywhere i want and not being restricted to only chosen areas in the map. That, i think for me is the biggest reason.

  22. I’m excited about the final fantasy 7 remake developed by square enix. when it first came out back then it was a turn based rpg, now they changed the gameplay to action rpg. a big fan of the series!

  23. I’m curious to hear about what Sony has in store for next generation platform and VR setups as well as all platforms moving to disc free gaming (possibly time limited play vs outright ownership of games).

  24. Looking forward to the Microsoft press conference on June 9th – they promised something for fans of “RPGs, first-person shooters, and everything in-between,” for both PC and console players, including unannounced games!!!! It sounds super exciting!

  25. Huge fan of Final Fantasy, the Playstation remake of FF7 is what I am looking forward to. Also more information on the launch date of the PS5 would be great!

  26. I CAN’T WAIT to hear more from Nintendo on the new Super Mario Maker 2 and to play it on the Nintendo Switch Console with Neon Red/Blue Joy-Con!! Made by Nintendo themselves – a classic made for today’s age with amazing visuals. I’ll be playing non-stop… see you never after it’s out

  27. For me, it’s learning more about The Outer Worlds form Obsidian and Cyberpunk 2077 from CDProjekt Red. Both had me stoked the second I saw them and I need more info to satisfy my curiosity.

  28. Holy cow it’s been 5 years since the release of the new consoles can’t wait what ps and Microsoft have for the next gen.

  29. Looking forward to the PS4 prize. I lost my PS4 due to theft and would love to start gaming again.

  30. I’m excited about Marvel’s Avengers from Square Enix and Marvel Games. Honestly I’ve been waiting forever.

  31. In 2019 I am most looking forward to Death Stranding. Although this game was announced a few years back, the release date trailer has me really excited to see what Kojima Productions and Hideo Kojima can pull off post Konami on this PS exclusive. Games from Kojima have always challenged me and kept me invested in the franchises. I hope this new IP will deliver on the high expectations.

  32. I am really looking forward to more information about the final fantasy 7 remake game by Square Enix. I have been looking forward to the release of this game since they launched the first teaser trailer years ago. It has been a part of my childhood and I’ve played ports of it every so often since. Really can’t wait.

  33. I am most excited about the ps5 announcement, assuming that is happening this year. I have always been a PlayStation fan, and the announcements about it so far look amazing, especially the backwards compatibility has new very excited.

  34. Looking forward to Star Wars, more details on FFVII remake, and square Enid avengers game!

  35. I’m most excited for the new Xbox console from Microsoft, in part because my beloved 360 just bit the dust.
    Also excited for Sentinels of Freedom game release from Underbite Games as I had a part to play in it.

  36. I’m really excited about the marvels avengers by square enix, to think I’ll be able to customize my own super hero seems absolutely wicked

  37. Looking forward to NHL 20 on ps4 this year, haven’t bought a new one in awhile and looking to pick this one up.

  38. There’s a lot of gaming announcements that got me so hyped up. The fact that sony and microsoft revealed that they would collaborate on cloud-based solutions for gaming experiences and Ai solutions literally put me in shook. They’re both competitors but they’re willing to put their sweat together for an amazing gaming experience for us. I think the manufacturer who repeased this gaming announcement is either sony or microsoft. I got informed by a gaming blog at BGR.com

  39. I’m excited to see all the new hardware coming out. Seeing the release of amds new graphics cards and all the benchmarks.

  40. I’m really excited to see more of the new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare by Infinity Ward at Activision. For the PS4 of course because thats my preferred console of choice for this generation. I have been waiting for a game like this for ten years, since Modern Warfare 2. I wish to relive those memorable moments from what many call the Golden Age of Call of Duty once more. And this game seems to promise me this.

  41. I am looking forward to the release of Mario Maker 2 on June 28. I seen it on nintendolife”com. My little nephew got the first Mario makers and loves it, it’s amazing what he creates on it. I want to surprise him with number two because I would like to see him challenged with new levels.

  42. I’m looking forward to that Avengers game by Square Enix. I want to see whether we get a great Avengers story outside of the infinity saga or if Square Enix will botch it with microtransactions

  43. I can not wait for cyberpunk 2077 the open world and the game graphics. I know there are at least 5 guys I play with at are looking forward to this one.
