RTS and more 3D platfomers.
Switch Back 9
a lot of my threads involve me fucking up somehow. Perhaps I'm a moron?
I would fucking kill for a new, AAA Command & Conquer RTS.

Another God Hand or Anarchy Reigns would be huge.

Whatever genre old SSX is considered. Track-based extreme sports? Something? I'd be fascinated to see someone take one last shot at that kind of thing.

Tactical shooters on consoles would be great!
I too would love this.

Grey Goo tanked so hard that Petroglyph is still limping afterwards.
It was a pretty good game to :/

Arcade sports games.
I don't know why NBA Jam/NFL Blitz/ MLB Slugfest couldn't be successful if made well today.

That shump-SRPG fusion Knights in the Nightmare came up with. Just get rid of the esoteric missables next time.

Same here. One of my favorite franchises. Literally just got finished watching a replay of a game in C&C3, even.
Also, city builders, but not necessarily like Cities Skylines - more like Zeus, Caesar III, and Pharaoh. Those were such fun games and it's a real pity there weren't too many more of them.
I meant side-scroller beat'em ups, but I'll take another God Hand too.
Oh man that's a blast from the past. I agree, and a great choice.
Man, most rail shooters are the opposite of replayable, IMO.
Rail shooters and beat'em ups were born in arcades and designed around quarter muching. Remove the thrill of trying to hold on to your money and they become very tedious. That's why you don't see them.
Now, you have exceptions like Bayonetta and God of War but they are exceptions because those kinds of games are very difficult to pull off in a way that is deep, engaging and feels good.
Even worse. We get them, they exist. Vanillaware, Scott Pilgrim, Code of Princess.
What do all three of those examples have in common? The art is easily the best part.

Yep. I've always bought them and would buy them again. The new NBA game isn't for me though, I need the crude humor of Slugfest, the violence of Blitz, or the style of Street. Just being an arcadey game isn't enough for me I don't think.

I need more meat gameplay wise in my TPS. The west ain't cutting it.

Nailed it, the absence of these genres outside their kings in Starcraft and Mario is dearly missed.

Music games. Cos they are pretty much dead in the west. So many amazing music games around.
I say it went downhill when Geoff Keighly said beatmania was a guitar hero ripoff.

I miss the days of NBA Street, NFL Extreme games, etc...
Music games live on iOS.

Arcade Sports is definitely missing from today's current landscape. They don't pull a lot of hype but I'm willing to bet a new NBA Street with a realistic Budget would sell.
Pretty sure those are still around in the iPad thanks to Konami bemanis.
And if you miss EBA that much you could try osu. It's free and playable with mouse and keyboard (although it's recommended you get a drawing tablet or touchscreen for that).
I disagree. I loved replaying Time Crisis and House of the Dead for the challenge of doing a 1CC run.

Party games for sure.
Even Mario Party, which created the genre, has strayed from the traditional style that made those games so fun.

Simulator games, especially Mech sims! I'm so happy to see a new Mech Warrior!

We need more games in the THPS genre.
Came here to say this
When I was a kid I could never buy a light gun, so I could only play rail shooters in arcades
Now that I work and can have one, the rail shooters are dead

Co-op driving/light gun shooter
Wild and Lucky
and to a lesser extent PS2 Starsky and Hutch.
And if we want light gun shooters back, let's start with this underappreciated gem, SEGA's Confidential Mission.

Perhaps he's wondering why someone would shoot a man before throwing him out of a plane.
Fixed for you, OP.
If by this you mean games like Streets of Rage, and Turtles in Time, not Anarchy Reigns, then hells to yeah. Straight into my veins. A new Dragon's Crown style, loot-centric one would be epic as well.

more franchises turned into RTS games a la LotR Battle for Middle Earth II.
