  1. I’m pretty excited for Paper Mario. I never played the original so it would be fun to try.

  2. I’m excited for Super Mario Bros. Wonder for Nintendo Switch, because I love the 2D Mario Series!

  4. The Logitech G923 TrueForce Racing Wheel for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One – Black would be amazing for my son, who loves racing games!

  6. Wow, thank you for this amazing chance to win 🙂

    For me personally, I have always wanted to get a “VR” set for my PS4, but they have been so expensive. I know the technology has greatly improved for the PS5, etc….but again, the cost involved is beyond what I can afford right now…..plus the fact taht I would have to also get a PS5 😉 ha ha

    But for me, that would be the most interesting thing I would love to upgrade to and/or expand in the future. I love the feeling of just “escaping” in my own time…and I know the VR with the right “games” would just give even more of that feeling in those right moments 🙂

    Again, thank you forthis chance….and good luck to everyone 🙂

  8. I would love to play the new Spiderman 2 game because the graphics and game play look amazing!!

  10. My son is looking forward to Luigi’s Mansion 2, looks like a great game. We still love faorite characters.

  11. I’m super excited about Assassin’s Creed Shadows at Best Buy because I’ve played every game in the series. The idea of exploring feudal Japan and using cool ninja skills sounds amazing!

  13. I simply cannot wait to play the upcoming Star Wars Outlaws game on my PS5. This seems like the Star Wars game I have always dreamed of. It is going to be incredible!!

  14. Rise of the Ronin is the game I would love to play for its immersive storytelling and rich historical setting. Set in late 19th-century Japan, the game offers a captivating narrative that blends historical events with action-packed gameplay. You’ll experience the tumultuous Meiji Restoration era, navigating political intrigue, cultural upheaval, and the clash between tradition and modernity. The game’s detailed open-world environment, compelling characters, and dynamic combat system provide an engaging and memorable experience that brings this fascinating period of Japanese history to life.

  16. While not the newest release, I’m still looking forward most to Super Mario Bros. Wonder for Nintendo Switch. I’m a fan of the classics and this game fits that bill.

  19. Meta Quest 3 – would love to try some of their exclusives on there, and tehre’s lots of games on the horizon that sound really good for it

  20. Most excited about the meta quest 3 VR Headset as I have never had the chance to try out anything VR and would be exciting to give this a try

  21. I posted about my participation in the Play at Best Buy contest on TWITTER (X) with username: daviejonesTSA

  25. I’m super excited about Assassin’s Creed Shadows at Best Buy because I’ve played every game in the series. The idea of exploring feudal Japan and using cool ninja skills sounds amazing! I love how each game offers a new world and story to get lost in, and I can’t wait to see what adventures and secrets this one has in store.

  26. I am most excited about Assassin’s Creed Shadows, the latest installment in the Assassin’s Creed series available at Best Buy. As a long-time fan and dedicated player who has owned and played every previous version of the game, I can’t wait to dive into this new adventure.

    The Assassin’s Creed series has always excelled in delivering a perfect blend of historical intrigue, engaging storytelling, and innovative gameplay. Each game has brought unique settings and characters to life, allowing players to explore different eras through the eyes of skilled assassins. From the rooftops of Renaissance Italy in Assassin’s Creed II to the ancient wonders of Egypt in Assassin’s Creed Origins, every installment has offered a rich, immersive experience.

    Assassin’s Creed Shadows promises to take this legacy even further. Set in the mysterious and atmospheric backdrop of feudal Japan, this game introduces new elements like samurai combat, ninjutsu stealth techniques, and an intricate narrative that weaves historical events with the series’ signature lore. The detailed environments, from bustling villages to serene temples and rugged landscapes, will provide a stunning and immersive world to explore.

    What excites me most is the evolution of gameplay mechanics. Assassin’s Creed Shadows incorporates advanced AI for more challenging and dynamic interactions with enemies, and the revamped parkour system allows for fluid and seamless movement across diverse terrains. The new crafting and customization options offer deeper personalization, enabling players to tailor their assassin’s skills and gear to their preferred playstyle.

    Moreover, the storyline in Assassin’s Creed Shadows promises to be a compelling journey of loyalty, honor, and betrayal, as players unravel the secrets of the Brotherhood and its adversaries. The game’s protagonist, a master assassin trained in both traditional and covert warfare, faces moral dilemmas and alliances that will shape the course of history.

    Having followed the series for years, I am thrilled to see how Ubisoft continues to innovate and expand the Assassin’s Creed universe. Assassin’s Creed Shadows is not just a game; it’s an experience that promises to captivate and engage players on multiple levels. I look forward to embarking on this new adventure, mastering the art of the assassin once more, and immersing myself in the rich, historical tapestry that only Assassin’s Creed can offer.

  29. I’d love to play Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door because the Paper Mario series is such a great and whimsical take on the RPG genre!

  31. I am most excited about Rise of the Ronin (PS5) because I enjoy the combat games with missions to complete, especially those inspired by history and culture.

  33. I’m looking forward to the release of Nintendo World Championship NES Edition Deluxe Set to play the variety of games it offers.

  34. I really want to play stellar blade on Playstation 5. It’s like a mix between Bayonetta and dark souls and that’s right up my alley I love action games.

  40. I’m most excited about trying the Spider-Man 2 game or Gran Turismo 7 on the PlayStation 5 console and playing these with my kids. We have an old PS3 and the graphics on these newer games and consoles seems amazing!

  41. Looking forward to spending far too much to get a Quest 3 and some PC upgrades to make my sim racing adventures even more immersive.

  42. I have to say that I am very excited for Assassin’s Creed Shadows. I know the mechanics are getting stale, but I just love the story of these games.

  44. I am most excited to play F1 24 I love racing games and I love Formula 1 so this is right up my alley.

  45. Would love to get back into Mario and the Paper Mario looks pretty neat. The Nintendo systems always seem to be so much fun.

  47. I am excited about the Meta Quest 3 VR Headset. I don’t have any VR, and would like to give it a try in various games and other things.

  49. I’ve been a gamer my entire but never owned a gaming console , I just play with friends and sometimes rent a console in some gaming cafe’s. I’m a StarWars fan and love to play any Star Wars titles. Looking forward for the Star Wars outlaw game
