Here's some random stuff that I've wanted for some time that I know I'm not likely to ever get, but dammit it's important I'm still going to mention it. And it will be updated from time to time when I remember more stuff.
- Remakes of classic NES light-gun games that will use the Wiimote as a zapper. I want Duck Hunt, Gumshoe, and Hogan's Alley dammit. Wild Gunman.... not so much. But the rest of them, why can't we have these? How much work can be those to make? And why didn't we already get them with the Wii? It's time I say. IT'S TIME!!!
- Dragon Quest X. Look I get it, it didn't take off. By Dragon Quest standards it tanked. But you know what? Fuck it. We should have it. It should be available. It was promised 39 years ago for the Wii and later the Wii U. Make good on it Square-Enix! You owe me! I bought Dragon Quest Swords and kept my mouth shut about how utterly crappy it was. Make it happen.
- Speaking of Square-Enix, I know the entire company is filled with idiots. Not even Capcom has shit on that many classic franchises. But could we please have some more Chrono Trigger? Mana? How about a new Act Raiser? No... the only old franchises they've bothered to revisit in the last 5 years were SaGa and a really bizarre Parasite Eve that they tried to pretend wasn't Parasite Eve and went out of their way not to call it Parasite Eve. Well done douchebags.
- And while I'm thinking about RPGs that are hopefully, let's talk about Atlus. I'm very confident that Sega will fuck this delightful little company up beyond repair, but just in case they don't I need to yell at them too. Persona 5 is overdue. Fantastic that they've remade every game in the series now and created fighting game spin-offs, but fuck man it's time. It's been over 5 year since P4. Give us something please. Just an announcement will be fine, but it's time. Oh and hi remember Trauma Center and Trauma team? Yeah we can have one of those too.

Great list Robio.
Here's a quick one of mine off the top of my head:
Shenmue 3
Elebits 2
Endless Ocean 3
•Retro- Metroid Prime 4...please
Ignoring Shenmue 3 for a minute, all of these games, and a lot of the other ones we've mentioned like the lost Square-Enix titles fall into that sad depressing grave-yard of middle of the road titles that will no longer be made. This is really a trend that I hope ends. I'd love to know why dependable small profits are undesirable compared risky projects that can potentially bankrupt a company.
Two things regarding Prime:
1. I think someone needs to get a hold of the Master Blaster license, and make a Metroid Prime styled game using it. Think of the possibilities..... you spend large chunks of time driving in your vehicle finding upgrades for that, and then at other times you leave the vehicle and control just the character, all in that play style. And depending if you're able to use your vehicle or not you'd alternate between being very overpowered or underpowered compared to the monsters/mutants around you. That's brilliant I tell you.
2. For whatever the next Metroid ends up being, Nintendo needs to release a cheap short prologue (let's say 2 hours and $
to the game in the classic 2-D style, and make it available on Wii U and 3DS. Get people excited for it, and satiate the people who want another classic style Metroid.
ExciteTruck 2. You know, with actual trucks?
Oh, and a new 1080° game in the vain of the original. Not that Avalanche crap.
Yes!
