@iboshow @tokeeffe9 This is the tweet from Blizzard about Destiny staying on BattleNet

Out of the games/franchises mentioned, the ones I agree with the most are:

Super Mario RPG - Been yearning for a proper sequel or spiritual sequel since the day it came out. And if Mario is consider "too occupied" with his other RPG series then I've long wanted a Kirby version of SMRPG. Kirby already has a huge cast of characters and enemies, plus many varied settings. There won't be any problem coming up with playable characters, NPCs, a bestiary and dungeon locations. Also, like the Mario series, Kirby has "platformer DNA" so it makes sense to emulate the SMRPG approach.

James Bond 007 - I too love, loved Nightfire and still revisit it with great fondness. Everything or Nothing was a blast. Bring back Bond!

Half-Life - To be honest, I was more in love with the original than Half-Life 2, but so much time has passed that I would expect a new game to be different than all the previous entries. The setting is great, I wouldn't care even if they did shifted into a different stroyline. And unlike a lot of series that I want to make a comeback, this one has very broad fan support behind it.

Here are some of my own suggestions:

1. original, single player Star Wars games! Man, oh man...what happened here?! When I was growing up, it used to be that Star Wars games were as fun/important to me as the actual movie trilogy -- if not more so!

2. a Quintet revival: Actraiser 3 or a top down action RPG successor to the Soul Blazer/Illusion of Gaia/Terranigma trilogy.

3. Turok! Ignore the reboot, and take the best ideas from the other games. After developing two PC remasters/remakes, ideally Nightdive would be able to secure permission to make an original game in the series.

4. Ogre Battle/Tactics Ogre. It doesn't have to copy one of the two existing branches in the series, a new invention in the strategy genre using the Ogre Battle setting would both be interesting and fitting with the series's history.

5. Warcraft IV. WC3 is my favorite RTS. This is another sequel I've wanted since day one. And if they don't want to stick closely to the past, then a fresh design take on Warcraft 3's "RTS armies with RPG heroes" basic premise seems like ripe territory to create something that still works but feels entirely different.

Some quick Honorable mentions just to wrap things up: a new Castlevania, new Advance Wars, Kid Icarus: Uprising 2, Lost Kingdoms 3, and Hexen 3.

Killing Skull & Bones. I'm sinking it just because it is a multiplayer only/focused game.

Killing Beyond Good & Evil 2 (also removed 2 games killed by others -- DMC5 and Total War: Three Kingdoms -- from the previous list). I'm not a core BG&E fan, so I still want to see more/have some questions answered first.

Aside: It seems like a good idea to indicate your killed game with an "(x)" if you aren't going to remove it completely, since indicating the killed game with formatting alone doesn't preserve this information when someone copy/pastes your list.

I'm killing Ghost of Tsushima. There's 3 big samurai/ninja-ish action RPGs on the list. I expect to like them all but they can't all win. Sorry, Ghost of Tsushima. You're gorgeous but we've got a list to shrink down.

Killing Kingdom Hearts III. I just wanted to kill a big AAA game because it makes one feel all mischievious/prankstery/etc., and while I don't have anything against KH3, I'm not going to feel bad if it doesn't make it to the final round. I guess they should have put more sound effects and Final Fantasy characters into the game.

Killing Gears Pop: It's mobile, which basically negates my interest in it. And even based on the expected merits of the game, Gears Pop doesn't make me desire it.

@axel said in YOUR Desire Index:

I think those threads have more value when they represent a snapshot of a moment in time, rather than be a continuous thing.

I agree 100%. I like the idea of the desire index being a time capsule of how the community felt at a specific moment. An evolving index does of course have the benefit of allowing everyone to respond to new trailers, info and so on, but in practice it felt like the excitement for the index died down over time, making it is less productive to that end.

Supposing for the moment that it is going to become a tradition to make a new desire index thread representing "a snapshot in time" each year, then I think that time should be something like a week or so after E3, as E3 is the time of the year in which we're blasted with the highest concentration of new trailers. That gets everyone excited (improving thread participation) and it's also probably the time of the year when there is the highest quantity of "revealed, but not released" games to make lists out of.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the biggest game this month on my radar. I've grown into a fair weather smash fan with past iterations, but what interests me in Ultimate is the prospect of a big, engaging single player mode. Maybe I'm a dummy, but that The World of Light trailer has given me high expectations.

I'm probably more interested though in the indie title Battle Princess Madelyn. It's a 2d action platformer that pays direct homage to the Ghosts 'n Goblins series. I love the GnG series and I've played a lot of the indie inspired / spiritual successors. Is it just me or have there been so many over the years that this is practically its own subgenre? All that is missing is a good name. "GnG-'em ups"?

Finally, count me in as curious about Monster Boy in the Cursed Kingdom (which, for those paying attention, is neither 'Wonder Boy' nor 'Monster World' :P). Another retro spiritual successor, but this is a full-on 2d sidescrolling action rpg adventure/metroidvania. I will confess that out of the entire WB/MW franchise, the only entry that I've played all the way to completion is Monster World IV, so my enthusiasm for this new one is at milder levels.
