Reversi with a 3d globe. Why? No corners.

Wouldn't that make it so you could capture with a single piece? That would be a crazy late-game.

Also, some googling turned this up.

My pick for a revival would be Wizards & Warriors. I loved all three of those janky messes, and it would be great to see a new one. If I'm ever grossly rich, I'm contracting Platinum for an action game where the three classes are three battle stances that the player can combo between. The rest would be easy, just go full Brom on the art and story. At some point, ride a dragon in a top-down segment, so it can also be a remake of Dragon Spirit.

The Fable franchise. It's gone through some rough times. Fable: The Journey was a disaster and Fable: Legends got cancelled. Those games don't matter though; it's the original three that do. Those were the ones full of great ideas. The problem, though, was that a lot of said ideas weren't executed very well.

A random example: You can get married to literally any NPC. You can even have children. The thing is, there's no actual point to doing that (IIRC). Your spouse and child don't even have any sort of personality.

Not to say that everything was like that, because that wasn't the case. Your character's appearance changed based on certain factors. Example being how you would grow horns or look angelic, depending on whether you were good or bad. You could buy properties and eventually own the entirety of a town or village, etc, etc.

The main issue was that for every good implementation of an concept, there were two bad or mediocre ones. If a competent studio revived this series and fixed it's shortcoming, I'd be a very happy camper.

Microsoft aint spending that kind of cash, to make single player only games anymore, sadly.

I want a new Ghost n' Goblins game that isn't an exclusive for PSP or a shitty mobile game. I also want that game to have the 2 hits and your dead rule of the older games. I want the newer adopters of the hobby to play the game, cry, and then inevitably compare it to Dark Souls because that's the only hard game they know of, and say the game's oppressive some how. In that same vein, I'd also like a new Demon's Crest game. They put Firebrand in MvC Infinite. It's not like they forgot the series exists.

Try maldida castilla (or how the fuck is it called)

I kind of want to see an Oblivion remake. With OpenMW for Morrowind and all of Skyrim's ports, Oblivion doesn't seem to get as much love as they do. Plus with a newer engine, hopefully mods would be easier.

Becuz oblivion came out when nobody had a ps3 or 360.
Skyrim was out when the generation was ending+pc gaming was on the resurgence.
Also it's dumbed down as fuck.

They at least announced AoE: Definitive Edition and AoE: IV (what a shitty trailer, though). Not quite in the same vein as Fable, but a man can dream...
 
The original Star Wars Battlefront 3 without EA's bullfuckery involved.
 
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System.

That little game was pretty ambitious for its time. It was kinda like Dead Space in that you can blow off or cut off enemy limbs which affects their movement and combat ability.

You can break a Mil Grunt's axis and cause his torso to fall back and get dragged around by his legs, you can blow up a big Titan's leg and watch him hop around. Among other things.

The setting and characters were all pretty awesome as well. Krunk (voiced by the same guy who does Homer Simpson) is particularly memorable.

The game was meant to be a trilogy, but the due to low sales and getting fucked over by publishers, Swinging Ape Studios is dead and the franchise itself is now owned by either Activision or Blizzard. Can't remember which.

I never did get to find out what that strange marking on Glitch's head was. And probably never will...
 
Eternal Champions would also be a nice one even if it's for the nostalgia factor alone. Heck, many of the fatalities are still gruesome by today's standards.

Bonus points if they keep Senator.

I don't think so. The key to winning reversi is capture the four corners. That so cheap. I wondering what happens if there were no corners to capture.

Not a single game, but I want to see modern single-license racing games like Need for Speed: Porsche Unleashed. They've fallen out of fashion because people seem to think that a racing game needs, at minimum, a few hundred different cars from all manufacturers to be "good" (even if several dozen of those "different" cars are just variants of the Nissan Skyline), but I miss the focus of games that focus on a single marque, or even, in the case of a game like Sega/AM2/Acclaim's (Ferrari) F355 Challenge, just a single car.

A distinct advantage of a game like F355 Challenge (which would likely be Ferrari 488 Challenge if it were remade today) is, since it's a simulation of a single car, they don't have to compromise any performance for "balance".
 
A new Shadow Hearts game which is closer in tone to the first two instead of whatever the fuck the third one was.
An Advance Wars game that has the original bright cartoony style instead of Days of Ruin's grimderp aesthetic.
A New Golden Sun game that ignores Dark Dawn's existence and butchered story line/mechanics.
An actual sequel to Final Fantasy Tactics (The PS1 game not the shit GBA series)
A sequel to FFXII that isn't a shitty 3DS game for some incomprehensible reason.
 
A remake or another sequel to No One Lives Forever, which is never going to happen because the rights are divided up between Warner Bros., 20th Century Fox and Activision.
