Either a proper sequel to Chu-Chu Rocket that isn't that Duckmarines or the one exclusive to apple, or a modern Vib-Ribbon inspired game where I can pause without having to quit my session.

I especially want the Vib-Ribbon one so I can just have the game scan my music folder on my desktop and create custom tracks without me having to do anything.

I like location based games, like Niantic has done, but with much less backstory.

A demolition derby game like wreckfest but without the racing. Leveling, gear, competitions are all focused on destroying other cars and being last one standing.

Bonus if some shenanigans are allowed like you get out of your car and fight other drivers.

A sort of real time game that starts in third person, as a single character, and expands over time to a whole village. Set in a post apocalyptic world, where you wake up after the apocalypse and have to survive, eventually meeting other survivors and either fight them off or band together to form societies. Each person modelled like an rpg character, with skills sets and capabilities (electrician, plumber, computer geek, radio amateur, farmer and all the other things that make a self-sufficient village). It would need to model the dynamics of politics and how society was governed and the run-ins with other villages and roving bands of survivors.

A sort of mini civilisation but themed around rebuilding capability rather than discovering it.

A rapid fire, action point based tactical MMORPG.

Like 5 to 10 seconds for a turn, everyone lodges their turns and over the next 10 seconds the characters play out their actions with complex complications for unplanned conflicts. Like a guy running though someone elses thrown grenade or two guys trying to run through the same doorway.

Star Wars Clone Wars, but CoD mobile style.

More arcade style multiplayer hack and slash RPG stuff in the spirit of gauntlet dark legacy or even something that stretches the concept like Armada 2 and makes it a space-based drop-in drop out multiplayer free-for-all frenzy that's just for fun.

Something like Retro Game Challenge, but for Western games. The idea behind Retro Game Challenge is that you play clones of NES games with achievement challenges to "advance" the story, as clones of games in the style of later NES games would come out. It had clones of games like Ninja Gaiden, Galaga, Dragon Quest. It also had game magazines written much like those of the time. The whole thing is a nostalgia trip.

In this case, it probably would have to be PC games. It could even have a cute minigame where you unbox and drop in your first 3D card.

Closest thing I've seen to it has been Arcade Paradise, but the games (along with the rest of the gameplay) weren't as good in that one. They also weren't all retro-inspired, as there's clones of match-3 games and Vampire Survivors.

Lord of the Rings Conquest without the stupid magic, without the stupid fire effects and with combat that doesn't suck.

Also Lord of the Rings Total War but you can argue that it sort of exists through mods

Super Smash Brothers but with jetpacks (ssb already has jetpacks but the game isn't really tuned for them offensively and with big levels and lots of platforms)
