YAS!! E3 is upon us (and some other show but no focus on that at this time), and we are about to be flooded with game announcements, shadow drops, and memes galore. For me, E3 is a time of celebration for what is coming to our platforms for gaming. It’s also time for us to eat and enjoy the show with tasty goodness. This list is what will be in my hands or on my plate for these digital presentations; and if you’re not feeling the food, go with works for you. For now, let’s head into this Snack Direct!!

Microsoft / Bethesda

Starting with the first party shows, Microsoft’s 90 minute presentation is prepared to dazzle us with new developments of announced games like Halo Infinite and Hellblade 2 and unexpected titles that are in the works. While showing us what Series X and S can do with the power that is in these consoles, why not have a powerful combo of snacks.

Food: Nachos with the full works

Candy Snacks: Hot Tamales

Drink: Sprite Lymonade

Small Snack: Funyuns or Chocolate M&M’s

Nintendo Direct

Ah? My beloved Nintendo. With the unpredictability (Breath of The Wild 2 reveal and…Metroid Prime 4) that comes from the Nintendo Direct, the hype level and announcements continue to keep viewers on their toes and setting Twitter trends for days. With that being said, why not have some snacks that will keep your mouth moving for their 40 minutes presentation along with their three hour Nintendo Treehouse: Live presentation.

Food: Honey BBQ Wings

Candy Snack: Hello Panda Cookies

Drink: Arizona Mango or Mango Flavored drink

Small Snack: Kit Kat Bar (any will do)

Sony

Since Sony is having a show at The Summer Games Fest, its time for a Snack Of Play.

Food: Ramen Noodles with some THICC BROTH

Candy Snacks: Reese’s Pieces

Drink: Cold Apple Juice

Small Snack: Pretzels with Tostitos Spinach Dip

Onto the third party shows; these events can range from brief to 40 minutes. As I won’t cover all of them, I will focus on Ubisoft, Square Enix, Capcom, and Bandai Namco.

Ubisoft

With the French developer planning to announce the next Just Dance and Rainbow Six Extraction, the snack list has to be fitting for what they have planned.

Food: French Toast and Eggs

Candy Snack: Snicker Minis

Drink: Chocolate Milk or Smoothie

Small Snack: Werther’s Caramels

Square Enix

With Square Enix presenting a earlier showcase in March (you can read my recap here), the follow up was announced for more titles they have plans to show. With that, these snacks will keep you engaged!

Food: Sub of your choice

Candy Snack: Life Saver Gummies

Drink: Cherry Coke

Small Snack: Mini Donuts

Capcom

Capcom has a lot of games planned across all platforms so it’ll be exciting to see what games they have coming, along with content updates for Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, and maybe a returning franchise. Snacks abound!

Food: Sushi/Fried Rice

Candy Snack: Pocky Sticks

Drink: Japanese Soda

Small Candy: Mike And Ikes

Bandai Namco

Last but not least of the big third party developers, Bandai Namco probably will showcase a lot of anime inspired titles (and probably Code Vein on Switch). With that being said, let the snack battle begin (jumps to the sky).

Food: Ballpark Nacho Cheese Hot Dogs / Chicago Style Hot Dogs (fries or chips optional)

Candy Snack: Twizzler Pull-N-Peel or some Licorice

Drink: Monster or some energy drink

Small Snack: M&M peanuts/Boston Bake Beans
