Some lesser dream games...
Mario Kart Double Dash 2 for the 3DS. Brand new game and tracks but with the whole gimmick of Double Dash of double characters and unique items. Almost like a sub series with no retro levels... just 20 new tracks and plenty of modes and experimenting with things that Mario Kart has never done before like maybe a proper single player adventure like campaign or building your own vehicles. Also can experiment with New Battle modes and include old ones like shine thief and bomb blast
F-Zero X remake for 3DS not changed much at all but with lagless real time 30 player online (or at least 20)
Mario Ultra Smash having the charm of Power Tennis (like the cutscenes) the simplicity of Mario Tennis 64 (being able to play with no chance shots) and the content of Mario Tennis GBC.

This right here, Mario Party All-Stars would be phenomenal
Alan Wake 2 (or Alice Wake) and LA Noire 2 also very very yes

Secretly hoped (still hoping?) that you are actually related to the development of Harker somehow haha.
My dreams of Harker being revived kinda got crushed when Amazon bought Double Helix.

As a somewhat older gamer, I'm quite fortunate to have seen most of my "list" already come to fruition (or be coming to fruition) over the last ten years. Browsing through the thread, though, I would definitely say that Chrono Trigger is the property that most stands out as being overdue for a resurrection. I've heard no shortage of people over the years pining for it, and I honestly don't think anything else could garner the same sort of reaction you would get from it.
I would actually say a true return to form for Chrono Trigger would probably be harder-hitting than Shenmue or The Last Guardian, or even Half-Life 3, quite possibly taking a backseat only to the Final Fantasy 7 remake in terms of sheer awe for fans.
Aside from that? Give me a(n increasingly probable-looking) new DMC and I'm square.

F2P COD esport with a back-to-basics gameplay focus. Minimal kill streaks. No Exosuits. Grenades, rockets, and launchers on cool down timers instead of respawn refresh.
F2P SOCOM esport. 8v8 on big open maps. Need big open sight lines for sniping and recon. Variety of objectives including hostage extraction, hostage rescue...etc.

Oh lawd I just had my genius idea return to me.
Sakura Wars fighting game developed by Arc System Works. Or somebody else. Just make it amazing!
The char already all have different weapons (although a couple of them have a bit of overlap but who cares there's a lot of different weapons even still) so the potential is already there. Almost everyone has like at least one super move already, and the concept of a spirit gauge of sorts already exists in Sakura Wars.
Perhaps there's some interesting way to integrate the Koubu's. Make it so Koubu's only attack with normals. I have two ideas
-Make this thing where Koubu activation require 25/100 spirit meter activation cannot be cancelled until gauge runs out (or maybe it requires additional 25 meter). Take smaller percentage of damage, but at the same time have a certain kind of armor. Like, the idea of a focus attack for example, but it applies to all of your normals. Armor starts on activation, but only one point of armor so as not to be too overwhelming if you're fighting against someone with no Koubu. Maybe you get like limited number of Koubu activation per round, or something like Persona where its character dependent?
-What if it's like Tekken Tag, where there's two health gauges basically but if either one goes empties out, then you lose the round. But instead make the summoning of the mech risky or something, and while you're piloting it, it drains your spirit gauge. But that sounds kinda stupid.
And since most all of the characters are show performers too, perhaps there's a way to integrate that. Arc Sys seems to make a point not to reward turtling as it is anyway. All they have to do is not make the system not highly-momentum based by making the benefits of such things minimal. Certain things (like maybe taunting, high combos, dizzy, or maybe a dedicated command like Felicia's hyper charge thing) could yield more spirit.
It'll be so much different than Senran Kagura, and yet so easy to compare because of the obvious prevalence of women. And since fanservicey stuff is so saleable, maybe a lot of people will be tricked by the kawaii onna no hito's into buying the game (except if the anime series and Sakura Wars V are anything to go by, fanservice is more limited in this series. Except for maybe Erica and select other scenes I've seen, so nyeh)
And the people who already love Anime (ahem, Animaayyy) and waifus/ play FG's and like animay will be all over at least the concept (mostly women roster fighting). If advertised right, it should be able to attract those who otherwise wouldn't be interested.
Additionally, this concept of a Sakura Wars fighting game lends itself well to producing iterations within a series, as fighting game devs are wont to do. Start off with Tokyo edition (like 8-10 characters or something) and then Paris edition (main five) and then New York edition (Shinjiro, Ratchet, main five). Perfect! And by then there'll only be like 20 characters or a little over, so it won't be torture for matchups and learning new char like SFIV.
Sakura Wars is awesome when they play up the old-school action anime aspect of the series so it could be cool to see that in a fighting game. I didn't really hammer out these ideas and it's hard for me to understand how balanced or sensible some of these gameplay mechanics would be purely in theory but I think a rich system would make this more fun than something that's more fundamentals-heavy and stripped down. The idea of the Koubu's spiritual power that fluctuates, different weapon and theme color per character all lend themselves to a degree of creative interpretation that could produce something cool. besides the basic character concept should be fairly easily to convey (not much lore to worry about), the worry for the game is that there are so many fighting games (even accounting for the dead FGs)

I'm pretty much down to two now.
A Mega Man game that bridges the gap between the classic and X series.
An open world Phantasy Star Online.

Sony nailed 3 of my 5 this year in the space of an hour or so. I'm not greedy; I'll take that, considering only one of them ever felt reasonably likely to happen.
All that remains for me is a new Panzer Dragoon game (preferably an RPG, but I'd gratefully accept a shooter too) and a proper follow up to NiGHTs into Dreams (JoD was a poor attempt).
I don't expect I'll ever see them, but I never expected that'd I'd get a chance to continue my hunt for Lan Di, either.

-A new mario game in the style of 64 or Galaxy that keeps and expands upon the characters in 3D World.
-A new Sonic game that has multiple playable characters.
-A 3rd person Metroid with the quality of the prime games.
-A new paper mario in the style of TTYD.
-A mainline Zelds game that removes the option to rename Link and puts a lore based stipulation on how the reincarnation works.
Also, don't revive Crash, the poor guy has been through enough let him stay dead, the last thing he needs is for Sony to revive him only to put him right back in the hole they dug him out of.

Oh, there are still plenty left OP, if I may still chime in (though the FF7 remake was indeed in the top 3 of my wishlist).
In random order save for the first two, which would both make me jump out of my skin with joy:
- Outrun 3 / spiritual sequel by Yu Suzuki (my biggest wish currently)
- Street Fighter III: Fourth Strike (my second biggest wish, even if it seems highly unlikely)
- Outrun 2016 (updated port of 2006)
- Garou: Mark of the Wolves 2
- New exploration heavy 3D Mario that allows you to explore the Mushroom Kingdom as well as Brooklyn
- New F-Zero, possibly with a mix of racing and open world brawling
- Chrono ...
- Secret of Mana reboot/remake/sequel
- New Final Fight / Double Dragon (as in: a big budget, genre redefining beat 'm up that has the The Warriors-esque atmosphere of these classics)
- New Faxanadu (developed by FROM)
- New Metroid (in vein of Super Metroid)
- New Kid Icarus (either sequel to Uprising or new action-adventure game)
- Dark Souls meets The Warriors
- Red Dead sequel
- Bully sequel
- Final Fantasy VI remake
- New Legend of Dragoon
- New Grandia (in vein of 1)
- New Vandal Hearts (in vein of 1)
- New game starring Terry Bogard (any genre that focuses on hand to hand combat, really, but discounting KOF)
- Resident Evil 2 Remake (in style of 1)
- Dino Crisis reboot/remake/sequel
- Turok reboot/remake/sequel
There might be more but I'll stop here.
