Bomberman, and I'll revive the 3DS project for Switch. Now we can live again.

Xenoblade Chronicles and I make a direct sequel to Xenoblade Chronicles X.

I feel like Switch would already be too late. Actraiser is the game that would have flourished with a dual-screen set-up. Mixing RTS on the bottom screen with action on the top, and making each gamemode influence each other in real-time. It was the one idea I wanted from the DS, 3DS or even the WiiU. With dual screen gaming dying, so do my hopes and and dreams.
Great picks! What would you do with 'em though?

Open world Ninja Gaiden RPG with souls-esque loot.
Roughly the same world size as Witcher III

Smash.
I wanna make a 3D MMO smash game.
The idea is that you play on island type levels (think things like whomps fortress from Mario 64) and there are 50+ players on at any one time
Normal smash controls and rules apply, just adapted for three dimensional movement
Would be awesome.

Suikoden 6, continue the plot after the events of suikoden 3
AC Black Flag - make it a first person open world rpg Bethesda style with character creation and customization, many factions and side quests, very detailed sailing simulation, ship customization and emphasis on exploring uncharted islands, building farms and manufactures and trade routes between settlements. The art style would be nothing like Sea of Thieves and very much like the Witcher. I wouldn't mind a Black Sails (Starz) license either.
Oh god, I need this! Zombies ate my Neighbours would make such an awesome co-op game with a modern release.

Inconceivable. Yoko Taro would insist on white haired protagonists and while Breath of Fire demands shades of blue.
This makes sense and would work perfectly in today's climate. Who owns the IP?

id get the Halo franchise and create a direct sequel to Halo CE
my multiplayer lead designer would be the same guy that created the CE multiplayer alone, he was the only person at Bungie who ever had a clue on how to balance a multiplayer while maintaining a high skillgap
id make Halo great again

Parasite Eve.
Would be set in the present day but staring an Adult Ben as a cop solving cases with his new found powers, similar to how Aya was awakened. And of course dealing with the trauma and ptsd he witnessed during Eve's 7 day reign back when he was a kid. It would be more in line with the original game and not all those random ass plot points in 3rd birthday.
Of course Aya/Eve would still be there as an ally/playable character. Would love for it to play similar to the Last of us but with RPG elements

Tomb Raider and i would try to reassemble all the Core Design members who worked on the franchise until AoD along with new blood for technical expertise.
The new game would have a grid based control system with obviously faster and smoother animations,similar level designs to the classic TR games,platforming and puzzle based gameplay with a few sections of combat and a colorful,cel-shaded visual style that would be based on the style of the original games but in a modern way. And i would bring back Judith Gibbins for Lara's VA (she's a bit old but her voice hasn't really changed.)She's still my favourite and most iconic voice of Lara.

Silent Hill, and I give it to Kojima's new studio to just make Silent Hills.
Second place would go to No More Heroes, and that would be to hand it off to the Guilty Gear Xrd team to make a fighting game out of it.

Very simple. Half Life franchise & Half Life 3. Even if the dream team is not available, will settle for something like a Tell Tale game too.
Wild Arms, with the team responsible for 3. Then I'd have Tri-Ace provide combat animation and Sakaguchi to steer the ship.
Alternatively, fuck it, Final Fantasy, with the team responsible for Wild Arms 3. Then I'd have Tri-Ace provide combat animation and Sakaguchi to steer the ship. And Uematsu for the soundtrack of course.

call of duty modern warfare real time strategy spin off including the heros and nukes featuring mass scale battlefields as well as smaller special op mission.
dirt rally 2 as service game. just take dr1 and add some of the good from 4 + more cars/tracks as dlc. big focus on online events and tournys.
ninja gaiden origins, open world game around the hayabusa clan in ancient japan.
battlefield ww2, large scale war (>64players?) featuring tons of vehicles and massive destructions.
soul calibur 1 remake with more content
street fighter alpha x, but more in the spirit of a grounded usf4 instead of 5

Resident Evil Tactics. Isometric Turn Based RPG where you explore the mansion and racoon city. You'd have full 3D control of your character (tank controls of course) when not in combat, provoking an enemy would initiate combat and it would then play out like something in between XCOM and Final Fantasy Tactics. Inventory Tetris from RE4 exists and ammo/resources are finite. You can only level up via the RE4 merchant. Nintendo Switch.

Star Wars. A new Kotor.
Tomb Raider, no question about it.
As for a team? Hm, definitely some of the ex-Core Design devs, maybe some of the people who worked on the first Mirror's Edge. For writers, I'd get Vicky Arnold (who wrote the scripts for TR1-3 and was instrumental in shaping classic Lara's character) and Murti Schofield (who wrote Angel of Darkness' story - I think he has said that he wouldn't work as lead writer on a video game again but I think for this hypothetical scenario we can just ignore that).
Now, I'm not entirely sure about what type of game it'd be as there are several options, all of which are tempting. For one, it could be a direct sequel to Angel of Darkness, it could be a reboot of sorts based around a slightly more grounded, realistic version of classic Lara set in the 90s and adhering to Lara's original bio, it could just be a random standalone game set in the classic universe in the vein of the first three TRs, etc. In terms of gameplay, it'd definitely be an updated version of the classic formula. Lots of challenging, precision-based 3D platforming, tricky puzzles, only a tiny bit of combat, intricate level design, controls similar to the classics, etc. Maybe have some of AoD's features like branched dialogues added in.

i'd buy GTA from Rockstar/T2 and make GTA VI a heavily single player focused game.
we all know they don't care about it anymore and will focus mostly on the online part. whatever single player content we get will be an after thought.

I'm assuming everyone thinks its a sure thing, so its wiser to revive a dead franchise.
