With all heart pounding I am waiting for new nintendo switch console hoping for a memory increase, a durable and compact design with enhanced graphics and seamless remote design structure. I look forward to updates of pokemon sword/shield (waiting since completed lets go pikachu) and mario 2 with more adventure and fun rides.
Fingers crossed with xbox’s new level of RPG games as per hype on the net created
I’m the most excited for the game Super Mario Maker 2 by Nintendo, because four player Mario was something I always liked playing as a kid with my friends in New Super Mario Bros Wii, and more recently Super Mario 3D World, and to see it brought back in Mario Maker 2 in 2D online gets me hyped! On top of the story mode and all the other new features too.
I’m so excited for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne from Capcom. Monster Hunter World was my first venture into the series and Capcom have done an amazing job making it very accessible to new players of the series. It has exceeded my expectations and I absolutely love the game and cannot wait for Iceborne to come out.
I’m most excited at the moment for Super Mario Maker 2 from Nintendo on the switch. It’s a beautiful update from the original on the Wii u and now its portable. Which is super convenient for my life as I travel around alot on a daily and have random down time that mobile cell gaming just doesn’t satisfy But I’m also hoping there is a new Last of Us 2 by Naughty Dog for ps4 announcement coming soon…. but not currently holding my breath on that one.
Definitely Pokémon or me! Been a fan since I was little. I’m always hyped for when the next game comes out because experiencing a new region, creating your team with a balance of the new generation mixed with old favourites is the way to go for me. Since Pokemon Let’s go Pikachu/Eevee came out and I finished the game been playing back titles like Black 2, Omega Ruby, Sun/Ultra Sun while waiting for Nintendo and GameFreak announcements about what the new game will have in store. Can’t wait to learn when it’s release date will be and more details in regards to the game itself
I’m most excited for Square Enix’s announcement about the Marvel’s Avengers title that they’ve been working on since 2017. It’s been a childhood dream to witness a superhero video game that exceeds the limitations of what the gaming world has seen thus far and I hope this year provides something spectacular!
Looking forward to the release of Super Mario Maker 2, more information about xCloud, and hoping Ubisoft reveals a new Splinter Cell.
Really wanting an announcement for another Earthbound or F-Zero game.
I most excited for Playstation to hopefully announce a new/better version of the PS4 or for them to hopefully announce the PS5
Final fantasy VII remake by square enix been waiting since the first teaser at e3 years ago it’s easily the best game from my childhood couldn’t be more excited for anything else
I’m definitely looking forward to the last of us 2 coming out, also kinda hoping for a new Zelda game.
Need to see more of the upcoming Halo release. Fingers crossed… 343 Studios has done a decent job of carrying the torch
I’m really looking forward to The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening on Nintendo Switch. I never played the original and I love the cute, playdoh art style. It seems like a game that I can pick up and play casually which is great for me since it can be hard to dedicate time to big story driven games like Breath of The Wild.
Call of Duty Modern warfare because it has been awhile since we have gotten a call of duty set in the modern day
I can’t wait for Pokemon Sword and Shield, the first ever mainline Pokemon games on a home console! The starter Pokemon in the reveal trailer were amazing (Sobble, Grookey, and Scorbunny are all so cute!), and all the information we have so far is incredibly promising (the map of the Galar region, the setting of the games, looks intricate and well designed), not to mention the graphics look gorgeous. Nintendo announced Pokemon Sword and Shield for the Nintendo Switch in a Pokemon direct in February (the 27th, to be exact). I just can’t wait to get my hands on a Pokemon game I can play on the go and on the big screen, trading, battling and having a great time with all my friends!
I am super excited to hear about a contest where you could win the latest Xbox! My Husband is a kid at heart and his birthday is in June. My big kid is turning 40 and I would be the best wife ever if I won this console, especially with a chance of winning the newest Call of Duty. The Zombie extra play has always been my birthday boys favorite. Fingers Crosses to win and make my husbands birthday the best.
I’m most excited for Wolfenstein Youngbloods by Bethesda for the PC. As a kid I watched my dad play the original Wolfenstein, and now I’m experiencing the latest version. I love that both my dad and myself get to enjoy the same game at different points in time.
2 of the main things that has me excited is the announcement of Call of Duty:Modern Warfare from Activision and Infinity Ward as i have been a call of duty fan for ages and an excited about this game as it goes back to my personal favourite era of Modern Warfare. As well as the announcement of an Avengers game by Square Enix because I am a huge marvel fan and it will be good for marvel to keep expanding upon their success of Marvels Spider Man earlier this year
I am very excited for Naughty Dog to announce a release date for The Last of Us: Part 2 on PS4. The first game was one of the best story driven games ever made. Very hopeful that the second game lives up to the first!
Man just give me a xbox one X bundle and we gucci.
I am a huge fan of Nintendo, and I cannot wait for any announcements regarding Pokémon Sword and Shield. I have followed the series since I was a child playing Pokémon Emerald, and cannot wait to see any new footage and information regarding the main series Pokémon debut on the Nintendo Switch. A fighter trailer for the next Super Smash Bros would also be very welcome.
I am most excited for Halo Infinite by Microsoft. I have played the games since they came out and have completed each campaign multiple times. I have played the multiplayer with many friends, and expect this game to top them all.
I’m very excited about a game annoucement release called CONTROL from the makers of max Payne,remedy games,505 games on the playstation 4.Control throws you in alternate demensions as an agent with a dark theme as you got fight weird creatures, I’m very intrigue and excited about this release.
Thanks best buy I love winning contests!
I’m super excited for Nintendo’s Pokémon sword and shield announcement! I’ve been keeping up with it for so long it’s the reason I started playing video games. To watch the franchise grow up with me is amazing for nearly 20 years. Generation 8 excites me since it might finally bring mechanics and open world prospective to my nostalgic pastime. Every day I wake up is one day closer to the reveal keeping me excited it’s why I love Nintendo and everything Pokémon from cards to tv to rpgs to mangas.
There isn’t a shortage of excitement on the Nintendo 2019 releases. I’m beyond excited for the classic Zelda remake, super Mario maker 2 and Pokémon rpg sword and shield!!

I’m looking forward to Nintendo’s Mario Maker 2. I’ve played Mario games for most of my life. I remember staying up late to try and finish Super Mario Bros. 2 when I was a kid.
I’ve been super excited about the announcement about borderlands 3, for the last three years.
Cyber 2077
When this was announced and had its gameplay revealed. Man I was blown away. Instantly fell in love with the art style, game mechanics game style literally everything. It almost felt like nostalgia except I haven’t even played the damn game yet.
Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt Red are masters of open world game design and I ‘m really excited to see what they are going to do with this property.

It’s something to look forward to every year..
Can’t wait for the new Pokémon game sword and shield see what they do for there 8th region because they can introduce something new that would change the game a bit maybe for the better or go back to gym fight. But I would need to win Nintendo switch so I can experience all of the switch games with my friends
e
I can’t wait to know more about this Avengers games that Square Enix has been working on for more than 2 years i think there is a big lack of story rich open world super hero video games about the avengers kind of like the lego games but it would be awesome with real graphics.. Can’t wait to see and i will buy it whatever it turns out to be
I am most excited to see what Microsoft has to offer for the Xbox Briefing. It’ll be interesting to see where they will take not only the next gen but the entire brand of Xbox.
I’m so excited for Ori and the Will of the Wisps from Moon Studios! It’s one of my favourite indie games in terms of art style and music, and I’ve been hyped for the game since last E3 when Microsoft released the trailer.
I was gonna say FFVII remake, but when I heard Square-Enix and Marvel are “assembling” (ahh get it?) to make an Avengers, I wet my pants! LOL
Looking forward to have a playstation to play NBA 2k19 and relived and change the course of the playoffs.
Season or opulence is about to start on Destiny form Blizzard. Let’s see what comes next.
I am really excited to hear more on Cyberpunk 2077 from CD Projekt Red. I think it looks fantastic from what I’ve sen.
Looking forward to new PSVR titles like a console version of Mordhau.
Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2
by Paradox and Hardsuit Labs.
I am very excited to see this game come out as I am a VtM fan and owned the original Video game which I was impressed by the ambition of the game. I believe it was the first of its kind and I expect it inspired the world network play games like WoW.
The only thing that would make me happier is if it was a good VR game.
I’m most excited about NINTENDO’s soon to be released game Cadence of Hyrule because I’ve been a fan of the ZELDA franchise since I was 5 years old.
Excited about Nintendo Super Mario Maker 2. I grew up playing Super Mario on Nintendo and would love a Nintendo Switch to make new Nintendo memories with my 4 kids (ages 6,5,4 and 2)!!
For our household it is the Super Mario Maker 2 from Nintendo that we are most looking forward to. We have younger gamers and the entire family enjoys this one together.
really excited for sega’s judgement and FFVIIR, both for the PS4. hoping to see ghost of tsushima, too!
The legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening announced by Nintendo on one of their recent directs.
I’m so excited for this, to see in what ways Nintendo will continue surprising us, also can’t breathe thinking about the rumours regarding the possibility of Metroid Prime Trilogy on the switch, I’m hoping for it to be one of the announcements Nintendo makes in this E3.
For 2019, the gaming announcement I am looking forward to is the game Borderlands 3, scheduled for launch on September 13, 2019, announced by Borderlands website from 2K and its affiliates. I had loved and enjoyed the game since the first Borderlands, and played all the series including the most recent pre-sequel. So I am both excited and anxious to see where 2K will be taking the game. This announcement is important to me because I thought Borderlands was done, so I am thrilled to see that there will be a next game to this great series.
Luigi’s Mansion and Animal Crossing for Nintendo Switch, by Nintendo. Because I just loved both franchises and the 3ds games were some of the best I’ve played.
