Dream Projects You Want to Exist but Likely Never Will

I just feel the whole mystery angle to Meta-knight is a little forced. "Ooh, Meta-knight revealed he looks like Kirby...again!" And then it makes me wonder, why does he KEEP doing this? Kirby has seen it before, what is the point in unmasking himself dramatically more than once? Its not like characters like "The Phantom Stranger" that never give a certain origin, Meta-knight gives off that he DOES have certain origin and they aren't telling us just because it makes him look cool or whatever. I accept I'm the minority on this, but it still bugs me.

Because it is largely aimed at children who have not played every kirby game and memorized every kirby event.

thought I would look up the meta knight thing. There's an entire kirby wiki out there with 1500+ articles... wtf....

Right, not every event but I'm pretty sure they'd remember the unmasking of a recurring character if they get one of the sequels. But whatevs, series ain't gonna change.

A god-game that is completley from Bowser's perspective making traps and setting up bad-guys for Mario to be killed by! Too dark for a real game I know, but it still sounds cool.

Marvel vs. Mortal Kombat: Just because the idea of Scorpion meeting Ghost Rider would be hilarious. "You made a deal with a demon that gave you a flaming skull? ME TOO!"

More MidEvil games! Sir Dan-ROCKS!

I could wear that this has been done, it wasn't Mario, but it was a tower defense game where you play the role of a villain laying traps for side-scrolling heroes. I can't remember what it was called, though, and I can't seem to find it. Anyone else remember seeing this?

Now that I think about I may have read a description to a game like that, can't remember what it was called though. Your not talking about Villainous right? That reverse Tower Defense game?
 
There are tower defense games based around being villains trying to stop heroes, but I've never seen a sidescrolling one and of course there's Dungeon Keeper and Deception.

Actually I'm not sure this one was tower defense, but it was a Mario-style platformer in reverse, where the player took on the role of the villain designing a level to kill the hero.
 
Xcom 20 Enemy: Deamons. I can literally never have enough games that have the world overview and a tactical game play.

Oh, than I don't know. Sounds cool though, when the name comes to mind tell me.

A good Crash Bandicoot game. What happened to that fuzzy guy? Damn disapeared.

A Bubsy the Bobcat game that is mostly a comedy where he accepts how terrible a character he is. THAT-would be funny.
 
That's currently happening is it not? I mean, there's quite a few space sims on the horizon (high hopes for Star Citizen).
 
lets hope they are any good and will pave the way for some AAA budget space sims.
StarDrive is quite a good 4X game,eventhough programming and design are done by a single guy.AI cheats like a mofo though.

Does anyone remember the "Left Behind" series of novels? They were a rather cheesy bit of Christian fiction based around the author's interpretation of the Revelation of John and the other prophetic books of the Bible, and what happens after the "rapture". At one point a video game was made based on those novels, and it was just a crappy cookie-cutter RTS that, thankfully, sold poorly. The game really puzzled me because of it's lack of ambition. At the time I really wished that they'd made something like a post-apocalyptic Animal Crossing instead. In the books the city of Chicago is bombed, and the underground Christian resistance hacks government computers to trick people into thinking that nuclear bombs were used and the entire city is radioactive. They then set up their base amidst the ruins of Chicago. Imagine a setting where you run errands for people while exploring a bombed out metropolis for supplies. Collect items to furnish your base however you like, unlock new modes of transportation, etc.

Now I'm thinking it'd be more fun to make a steampunk version of animal crossing. Picture a steampunk universe where there's a town built to be a think-tank of quirky and eccentric scientists (kind of like the SyFy series Eureka), and you play a bike messenger just hired. You run errands, help with experiments, find lost parts after explosions, provide first aid, build robots, celebrate holidays, work your way up to better jobs, etc. All the while you're upgrading your own living quarters, from a tiny little one-room pre-fab, up until you've got a nice townhouse, or maybe even a mansion. You get furnishings, and inventions to play with. I think something like that could be amazing.
