Watch Dogs Legion
Watch Dogs Legion might very well feature the first ever playable grandma in the history of video games, and that’s something to celebrate.
From what we saw of Legion, the idea of recruiting any and every NPC, and playing as them, sounds remarkably ambitious and we couldn’t be more excited about that. The Watch Dogs series has shown its potential since the first entry in the series, and Legion’s insane trailer has us hyped as hell.
Final Fantasy VII Remake
Of course, this list wouldn’t be complete without the behemoth that is Final Fantasy VII Remake.
The extended trailer had it all: an incredible rearrangement of Let the Battles Begin!, Cloud and Aerith doing Cloud and Aerith things, glimpses of Barret and AVALANCHE being questioned as kind of a terrorist group, Tifa feeling conflicted about their actions, and Sephiroth being mean.
Final Fantasy VII Remake looked completely outstanding, and it would’ve easily been the most memorable trailer E3 2019 if not for another surprise announcement. But more on that later.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
All eyes were on Nintendo during E3 2019 as Switch fans have been eagerly waiting for more news on that Animal Crossing game, and the company delivered.
The bad news is, the game has been pushed back to 2020. The good news is, Animal Crossing: New Horizons looks awesome. You get to build a whole colony on a new island, you get to stuff a whole tree into your pocket, and you get to rack up insane debt with Tom Nook.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Banjo-Kazooie Reveal
Nintendo faked out its fans twice with the Smash DLC character reveal. The first was with the Dragon Quest reveal at the start of the Direct, dashing hopes for a Banjo-Kazooie appearance. Then they did it again with Duck Hunt showing up at Donkey Kong’s house to punk him.
Finally, Banjo-Kazooie made an explosive entrance, and was revealed as one of the upcoming fighters for Smash Ultimate much the joy of Nintendo 64 fans.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sequel
If Nintendo didn’t decide to drop this trailer at their Direct, Final Fantasy VII Remake would’ve easily been picked for the best trailer in all of E3 2019. But Nintendo decided to do it.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is officially getting a direct sequel, and it’s now in development. The teaser trailer was heart-pounding as well, with those spooky vibes in the cave and Link and Zelda looking worried as heck, with only torches to light their way.
The tone of this Breath of the Wild sequel looks incredibly dark and sinister, and even though it’s probably years out from release, we’re already hyped.
