I am looking forward for next need for speed for EA sport as I almost played all version since I was teenager. And also new PlayStation VR.
I am hoping for the actual finale to kingdom hearts…. but I will probably have to wait another 10 years
I’m super excited for the new Avengers game that is upcoming by Square Enix! I’ve always been a huge superhero fan and after the release of Spider-Man PS4 I want to see what’s in store for a video game involving all of the Avengers! I’d love to see all of my favourite superhero’s back in action! Thanks for the giveaway!
The announcement of Mortal Kombat 11! So much fun playing the others Mortal Kombat in the past! It’s a legend and it’s always a great game every time they annouce it! And the game as been develop by NetherRealm Studios who also did Injustice 2 anorher great game! But Mortal Kombat as been a lot of hours with my brother, to drink and to play! I was Kenshi aaaaallll the time! Love this blind guy hehe 🙂
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare! Going back to the roots with Captain price and the classic feeling has made me way too excited for this game! I love the modern warfare series, so the fact that they are continuing it is absolutely amazing!
I’m really looking forward to Final Fantasy VII Remake by Square Enix!! I played this game when it first came out in 1997 for the PlayStation One and loved it. This has been a long time coming – Sony showed us a re-do of the game’s opening sequence waaaayyy back in 2005, but insisted for years since then that they weren’t going to do a full game re-make. It wasn’t until 2015 that they finally announced they were going to do it. It’s been a long 4 years and there were doubts that it was ever going to happen, but now it’s here for the PlayStation 4!
Zelda: Link awakenings (switch) this game was one of my favourite game in the past. I bought my first gameboy advanced with my dad. It was perfect!! Every time I need hint my dad was there ready to help, because he bought the hint book and didn’t tell me haha. But yeah this game give me good child Memories
So excited over the announcement for the release of Halo Infinite by 343 industries. I remember playing halo for the first time when I was younger and falling in love with the fantasy. New graphics and a new xbox will have me immersed but feeling like a happy 12 year old again!!! November cannot come soon enough.
This year E3 i am excited about Final Fantasy VII Remake (Game) by Square Enix (Manufacturer). As for why i am so excited, i think its obvious. I mean its most known final fantasy game getting full to remake instead of just getting upgrade in graphics. Also because i am huge final fantasy fan. First game i ever played was final fantasy 3, and except final fantasy 1, 2 and online one, i have played all other ones. So i am really excited for this one as i can relive those beautiful memories again..
Im exited to have that kind of gaming package anything that we can play with our kidz..
Most excited when announced MK11 by NetherRealm Studios. Always been a fan but this year took it to a new level great game. Played every sequel and they just keep getting better.
Super Mario
I’m really excited for Mario Maker!! That game looks like it’s going to be a lot of fun
Ghost recon because I absolutely loved the first one!!!
Cyberpunk news, any Dragon Age news, New Nintendo Switch news, the next gen line of Xbox news as in Scarlet and such. Honestly also mainly just the hype and excitement of this time of year in and of itself, it’s infectious and it really brings the community of gamers together. Regardless of platform or generation. I’ve been playing video games 24 years now and I still get excited for things like the next Pokémon game, as well as things like Spawn being confirmed DLC for MK11. Gaming is a fantastic thing.

I’m most excited about the Marvel’s Avengers game finally getting more information at E3! I’ve been waiting on this game from Square Enix. They announced that more will be revealed then. Basically I’m just happy it’s still coming.
Having a Marvel game brought out by the company that brought back Lara Croft in an excellent way only bodes well for the game. Also, they’re not rushing it for a movie tie-in, so it won’t be a rushed ball of garbage… Or just mediocre.
I love Marvel games, but the closest to an awesome experience is either Marvel Heroes, which got cancelled, or Ultimate Alliance 2 from a loooong time ago. I don’t have a Switch for Ultimate Alliance 3, so Marvel’s Avengers is my desert I’m craving. BRING ON THE AVENGERS… SQUARE ENIX STYLE!
This year, i’m most excited for the announcement of the release of Borderlands 3. Gearbox, the manufacturer, has been teasing it for so long that a lot of people had given up hope of it’s release, and I was about to, until they finally announced it! The Borderlands franchise is my absolute favourite, and it’s a personal goal of mine to one day work at Gearbox, hopefully on a Borderlands game. I love the art style, the story, voice acting, gameplay, everything about the Borderlands franchise has me enthralled, and this new title looks even better then the others. So excited!!!
Team Cherry’s “Hollow Knight: Silksong” is my most anticipated gaming thing right now. I bought the first one on a whim when it launched on Switch, and it turned into my favourite game, possibly ever. I adore it, and the fact that it helped me through some very rough times in my life just adds to my love for it.
I’m hoping to hear if Witcher 3 will be coming to the Nintendo Switch. It’s been rated #1 on PC for years and to play it on the go and for the first time would be really exciting.
Oh my goodness. Definitely Pokemon Sword & Shield, a game for the Nintendo Switch! I’m excited because I’ve been a Pokemon fan all my life, and I will continue to love the franchise forever. The announcement was made by The Pokemon Company (duh).
Super Mario Maker 2!! Because who isn’t ?? But then again i want to try so many games on the switch :p!!
I am excited for Call Of Duty Modern Warfare from Activision and Infinity Ward on the PS4. They are bringing back single player campaign and new cross play between other different consoles.
I’m hoping to hear that Witcher 3 to be available on the Nintendo Switch. It’s one of those games that has been rated #1 on PC for years and it would be so good to play it on the go with the Switch.
Final Fantasy 7 Remake. Announced at Sony’s E3 in 2015 and re-revealed at Sony’s State of Play a few weeks back, Square Enix’s title has been a trip down memory lane. Perfect music. Beautiful visuals. I cannot wait for this nostalgia trip to be released so I can share my favorite childhood game with my own kids.
I am looking forward to playing the new animal crossing game on switch from nintendo! This franchise is always a ton of fun, and its been quite a while since the last title on 3DS.
I hope I can get the Nintendo Switch because there are two games I’d like to play on that console: the lesser known Antinomy of Common Flowers (where my Touhou fans at?) created by ZUN along with Twilight Frontier, and the highly anticipated Pokémon Sword and Shield made by Game Freak. I played Super Smash Bros. Ultimate along with some of my friends and I became a quick fan of it, adding another reason as to why I’d like to have a Switch. My brother liked to play The Legend of Zelda but he doesn’t anymore. Since Breath of the Wild came out, I hope that, once I get my hands on it, I can revive his childhood. I also like the fact that it’s easier to play in a multiplayer way since the Joycons can be separate.
I heard there is a new fire emblem coming that will be shown off at E3 this year. Fire-emblem-three-houses. Excited to see what’s next for this classic saga. Too bad that Nintendo won’t be presenting a cheaper switch this year.
There’s one thing im waiting to release. The final fantasy VII. I hope they will release it soon.
Call of Duty Black Ops 4 (Xbox One)
LEGO DC Super-Villains (Xbox One)
I’m excited for sony’s playstation 5 because they say I would able to play Squal again!
Final Fantasy 7 from Square Enix of course !!!
Been a Huge fan of FF7 and FF8 for YEARS. So many great memories with those games …
I wanna rediscover FF7 with enhanced image quality, let it be a success, so they will make a remake of FF8 !
I am most excited for…the announcement for MONSTER HUNTER WORLD ICEBRONE which is releasing in Sept 2019, developed and published by Capcom. I have spent so much time on the original MHW and I am a big fan of the Monster hunter series. I have played MH on 3DS, PSP, and now on PS4! I am super excited for this E3 from June 11-13 and I am looking forward to more interesting and exciting games that coming out SOON!
Im looking forward to final fantasy 7 remake by squareenix! I cannot wait to play it as i love retro gaming n hope to catch up with the latest titles as well
Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt Red was shown off last year and can’t wait to see if they announce a release date at E3. The Witcher series was just awesome. The world of Witcher 3 was so fun to explore I Can’t wait to play Cyberpunk and explore the world that CD Projekt Red has been working on for so long.

I love video games and I’m most excited about ea sports nhl 20 and the new call of duty!
I am most looking forward to any announcement about the Zelda series. I’ve been playing Nintendo games and the Zelda games since I was a little kid and they first came out, and have been a huge fan of the series ever since. As well as a being huge fan of Nintendo itself, and also Mario (of course). Breath of the Wild took my breath away, and I got to experience Zelda like never before. Link’s Awakening looks incredible, and I can’t wait to see what else they have in store for us! Good luck to everyone!!
Really excited to see more of Death Stranding. Guillermo Del Toro is a great director, and I’m excited of seeing his influence on the end package. Also Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen, so of my favourite actors. I don’t care if it’s more movie then video game, this is a star-studded video game.
Mortal Kombat 11! Oh my goodness, there are many games that are nostalgic to me but this one would be awesome!
I am in the wait for fifa 20 by EA sports which is expected to release in September 27 , 2019.looking to buy it for my PlayStation 4, I am very fond of soccer and the players. So far I have been buying all fifa games, and looking forward to keeping buying. As a ending sentence for Best Buy, I would like to say is that you guys are giving me great service and looking forward to buy many more products from you guys in the future. Thanks
I am excited for the annoucment for borderlands 3 by gearbox. This game brought me a lot of fun with my friends. Even playing alone it is fun as hell.
Can’t wait to play it with friends.
I can’t wait for the release of the new Mario Maker 2 game, announced by Nintendo! My husband and I both used to play the older Mario games when we were younger (before we met), and now we often play them together after our kiddos have gone to bed. We have so much fun playing and laughing together – these games have really brought us closer in a way! 🙂
I am very looking forward to seeing more of Death Stranding by Hideo Kojima for the PS4!
This guy is a genius and got pushed out by Konami… I’m super excited to see his first ever game succeed without Konami backing him and for him to throw it in the la-le-lu-le-lo (komani excuatives) face.
I played every single game he was Incharge of and was never once disappointed. The game that will always stick with me was Metal gear solid for ps1 and the remake twin snakes for the game cube (I still own on my shelf in 2019 sealed 🙂 ))
When I finished the game I had this weird rush feeling in my body and I wanted more ! The game play and story was amazing, action packed and lots of omg moments … and who can forget physco mantis making ur screen black ! And HIDEO poping up !!
I was about 16 at the time and I remember calling Nintendo to thank them and they laughed at me and told me call Konami ! I called them and this super cool guy was so happy how amazed I was after playing this game and talked to me for about 20 minZ and even sent me a free solid snake plush toy lol
I can’t wait to play his next master piece and I’m pretty sure he has a lot on the line because it’s all on him no company to back him up … he used amazing actions like Norman Reedus from walking dead as Daryl… and the trailer he released the other day?
The 9 minute one that confused the internet and make all of us have many more questions haha ! Only a master mind could do that with a 9 minute trailer !
I also think it was a great idea to make his game on the PS4 bec it’s where his career boomed making mgs / zone of Enders / silent hill .. etc
Hideo kojima has stolen the trophy for E3 and it hasn’t even started … Kojima doesn’t need any company or event … they need him! Can’t wait to see him on the stage!
Btw I no ps4 won’t be at e3 but I’m sure this game will regardless!!
Ps – hold my bridge baby while I destroy E3 wooo!
I am super intrigued as to what EA (electronic arts) will add for Fifa20
This has always been my favourite game since I was a kid as my love for soccer goes beyond this world! With fifa19 the gameplay changed drastically and it took me almost a good month to get used to it so I’m super stoked to see what they will do with the graphics and game play!
I’m looking forward to more info on Cyperpunk 2077 by CD Projekt Red. They make great games and if it’s anywhere close to being as good as Witcher 3, it’s going to be a fun ride.

Does it count if I have 2 that im looking forward to? Gamefreaks pokemon sword and shield for the nintendo switch, because it is the first main story game to come to a “home” console and the final fantasy 7 remake by square enix, i mean come on does that even really need an explanation?
I’m looking forward to seeing more footage for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. I love that it is a PlayStation exclusive! Can’t wait to see the footage of the multiplayer and I’m very curious if it will have a Battle Royale mode.
