Mutant League Football - 360/PS3
You know you want it. I hate sports and sports games, but I used to play the old '90-something hockey and football games with my brother just to try and see what kind of injuries I could tally up. The Mutant League games were so awesome. I am disappointed they have yet to spawn a remake. It wouldn't take much money or time to develop either. Just script a basic arcade football game and focus dev time on the gore, dismemberment, and special abilities. They could throw in a career mode that would track your players' stats, skills, and progression. They could even add XP and levels for the characters.
Just think of the hype that could be generated too. It would be a definite best seller. I imagine a commercial being release before any word of the game hits the press. It shows a seemingly typical stadium packed with cheering fans. The camera panning around the stands shows the excitement of those gathered coupled with quick cuts to the locker rooms of the two teams getting ready to play. No parts of the athletes are shown except for their backs, helmets, shoes. The teams line up and start heading out to the field. We might catch a glimpse or two of a sillouetted player against the stadium lights. A far-away arial shot shows the players take their spots on the field. We see one side take position for the kick, but still don't see the players themselves. We can hear the kick, but only see the faces of the fans overcast with a small shadow as they follow the ball with their eyes. As it comes down on the other end of the field, we see, in slo-mo, the arms of a receiving player reach out. But something's different. His flesh is putried and half-rotted. He catches the ball and the camera quickly zooms out to see the entire receiving team. A skeleton, a couple zombies, a troll, a few goblins. They all rush towards the camera, screaming as they advance up the field. Cut to title: Mutant League Football. I think I came a little just typing that up.
Shining Force IV - Any System
Yes, yes, I know there are new Shining games out, but they are not in the tradition of the Force series. They're some kind of crappy Action-RPG. Give me a tactical, turn-based, top-down, battlefield RPG with a large cast of unique characters (some hidden) from many races and various classes. And give me the option of PROMOTING them. I don't know if it speaks for the simplicity of games back in the Gensis days, but whenever I reached the point of promotion for a character in a Shining Force game, I was always ecstatic. It's an all-around satisfying way of measuring progress. Your characters looked different, had new abilities, a new class, and were stronger. I never got a chance to play Shining Force III (any of them), so I would absolutely love any company that made a new Shining Force in the same vein as the classics. Even if it was EA.
Beyond Oasis 2 - Wii
Beyond Oasis on the Genesis was pretty damnd entertaining. Even though I normally don't like Action-RPGs, it was just very enticing. I think it had to do with the spirits that you could summon. Decent puzzles mixed with simple, but varied combat, combined with interesting ways to summon spirits (like summoning Shade off of an enemy's reflective armor) just went together to make a great game. I'd like to see a sequel for the Wii. The added control features could be used for special moves and summons.
Post-Apocalyptic Zombie MMO
I know someone's gonna say it eventually, so I'll get it over with. I have personally seen at least two threads dedicated strictly to this game idea, and I know how serious and passionate people can get over it. So let's just all understand that everyone will imagine this game differently and leave it at that. Try to keep Zombie MMO discussion out of this thread unless you have a premise/system/feature idea that you honestly believe is very unique and will not cause this thread to degenerate into a shitfest.

Nothing's forgotten, nothing is ever forgotten
I would bust a nut. Then I'd probably bust the other one.
But also with an adventure part with puzzles and stuff
so Like Zelda Lite and then for boss fights you have to totally rock out
EDIT: d_b, that's awesome.
Switch - SW-3699-5063-5018
I would pay as many rape dollars out my ass as it would take for that to actually come out.

A cyberpunk FPS/RPG hybrid ala Deus Ex or Vampire Bloodlines, with tactical team management like Rainbow Six and hacking like Uplink.
A new Ultima game that pretends Ultima 9 never happened.
An X-Com knock-off that actually gets it right for once.
And yeah, speaking of MMOs, the whole Everquest model is really outdated, we've definitely progressed in technology to the point where we can have a little more variety in things like the battle/quest systems.
This one is inspired by a t-shirt I saw with a wizard holding a football under one arm and a staff in the other. Teams could be right out of the D&D Monster Manual. Orcs vs. Centaurs! Skeletons vs. Zombies! Wizards vs. Sorcerers!
Oh, and Marvel vs. DC, by Capcom.
Bloodbowl? Graveyardage?

You might want to check out the Mugen project DC vs. Marvel. It's still in development, but so far you can get Superman, Wonder Woman, Ice, Elastic Man, Superboy, Lobo, Captain America, Thor, Spiderman, Ironman, Wolverine, Crystal, Strong Guy, Dr. Doom, and Carnage. Many more characters are in the works, plus you can add any other Mugen characters you can find. The art and controls are all done in the Marvel Vs. Capcom fashion.
I agree that the MMO genre really needs some innovation. I love the idea of MMOs, but I have not found a single one that I can really enjoy past the first free month.
Although it's not for the Wii, Beyond Oasis 2 already exists. It's called Legend of Oasis, it's for the Saturn, and I remember it being a rather fun game.

God I hope the Lego MMO that was announced end up like this.
Old PA forum lookalike style for the new forums | My ko-fi donation thing.
I fully agree. Just give me more, bigger, and with the same wacky style and music.
But for the love of god, Square, please give me a good Chrono Trigger sequel or even a Sidequest, I don't care. Just continue the saga dammit.
I'd love to play as Bowser, and destroy the Mushroom Kingdom, I'd love to play as ganondorf and bring about the great flood. I'd love to play as Ridley and just fuck planets up. I just want to play a game, where I'm the bad guy, and the bad guy wins. hell, that would make for an awesome Final Fantasy. I'm Sephiroth/Kuja/Kefka, and I'm here to fuck shit up.

EVE exists, if you dont like it you are either in Empire, with a crappy corp, in the middle of 1000 people fleet battles, or you dont know how to play, also realize that "Avoid podkilling zones" is bad to click.
1.What would you do
2.Lag is bad enough for EVE, if they implement that, not only will they have to fix twice as many bugs, but they will also destroy servers, force people to run back to their ships and every other concievable problem.
Ideally this would be multi-platform so everyone would be able to play it. A Wii specific version would have to be done though so that you could use the motion sensing to create your attacks and maybe even incorporate your Mii into the game.
I didn't even think about a create-a-fighter mode with the Wii. That could really be something cool. You could just move the remote and nun-chuck for the right and left hands/feet in order to get the basic movement down, and then tweak it to perfection. Hm...
I weep everyday for this
With Warren Spector, Harvey Smith, and Ken Levine at the helm. Take as long as they need, but make it as deep, and full of replayability, as the first.

Monkey Island 5. 'Nuff said.
Hell, I would prefer if it was 'Jet Shining Virtua Panzer Dragoon of Arcadia Mue into Dreams'
That actually sounds like a really good way of going about that.
I remember there was a game for the PS1 (actually called Create-A-Fighter I think) that was all about customization in a fighting game but it turned out to be just assigning different moves to skins that the game gave you. From what I heard anyway. It all sounded rather "meh" though. Of the best game modes where you create the look of your own fighter I have seen I think I would have to go with Soul Calibur 3. Virtual Fighter 5 actually looks like it pulls this off pretty well though.
Sega rocks so hard.
