As you can imagine, thinking of ideas for games is somewhat of a regular occurance. Picking up a game, playing it and thinking "Now, if they threw in something like _________ it would make it better" or similar. Example, as one of my recent musings in the chatroom: So, name a game you've had an idea about or an existing game where you wanted some little or large thing changing that would make it even more special. It can be humorous or otherwise, and preferably involve Yoshi pwning other players, but that's optional.  |

Hmm, most my idea would involve an insane amount of bloodshed. So here's my idea!
---
Possible Warning: Possible wall of text and a load of insanity may or may not follow, I haven't actually thought this through at all so I may start going on about how cake is tasty or something.
---
Right so this game is a mix between an Action RPG, a fighting game and another possible genre. You start as a basic guy, we'll call him "you", "your" or "you're" for the purposes of making writing this ball of spontenaity easier but for the actual game you choose your own name and custom appearence, lots of options here. You also get to choose fighting style (from like Karate, Judo, wrestling, pub brawling or whatever) and alocate stat points to something which may or may not make sense to anyone but who cares it's a game as long as it offers enough to boost imagination people will be all over it like a very tasty pie.
So you're there is a basic citizen of a place which may be Earth. He's got his basic ciziten clothes (chosen by player probably) and is happy in his house going "la-de-da" eating the very tasty pie because he couldn't buy this game and had the best equivelent as mentioned ealier. Then suddenly REVALATION!
After said unknown and random revalation (details a tad sketchy) you are into the game where you learn basic controls and whatnot. You're in a wasteland of a your previous beloved city (lets say this is present day) and all technology is wiped out and you pie is gone! So then the fight for survival across the world ensues. You need to survive for as a long as possible and hopefully save the world from its disgusting yet hilarious end. So you gots your fighting style and you go around beating people up with it and gaining levels and therefore stats and getting more moves which you can make yourself! Yes, this game lets you make your own moves at the cost at some sort of stat point which get better and better. So that's that part.
The other thing about this game is the fact you can collect scrap metal from debree, broken machines, people, small yipping dogs, guns, sandwiches, pointy things and staples. You name it, you can salvage something from it. You can then take your accumulated stuff to a guy or anvil or whatever it may be and make your own armour, customizing it with your own choice from a large variety of stuff. So now you have, I dunno, an awesome move which lets you lynch people with your crotch whilst stabbing then in the face with your new bladed gloves of death and doom. Fun times!
So on your quest stuff happens, you fight people who want to have a fight in a fighting game style but at the same time action RPGish, so both you and the enemy have their own health bars and fighting styles and whatever. Also the enemies "evolve" at a similar rate to you so as you get more stats your enemies will also as you progress.
Around half way into the game a second REVALATION occurs where suddently you realise that Earth was in ruins because of a time rip which made the future come to the past and eff your ess up causing paradoxical horrors to happen. You then go to the future where your enemies suddenly have lasers and rocket lawnchairs and stuff and you're stuck strangling people with your now over-muscular groinal area. You need a gun and fast.
Still with your armour or whatever you attack the first dimwitted gun-weilding fellow that comes near and take his weaponry gaining gun skill points. These points work much like the fighting. You also get to become better is certain types of gun AND also fight hand to hand.
So far this game offers a completely customable character, completely customable fighting and stat build, customable armour, time travel, lasers, fighting, more lasers, fighting and tasty tasty pie. There's a story in there somewhere I'm sure it'll come to fruition at some point.
Now you're thinking "Twi, this game is far too cool for me, but I feel it'll make me alone for long periods of time getting addicted to this awesome-fest of ultimate awesome!" Fear not, for after completing the game with your most favourable custom everything at your disposal you get a code for online play! That's right your weeks of toil have lead to pitching your guy against other peoples' guys online in an epic brawl of either future mode or present mode (more hand to hand). Mock your friends for not choosing the slighting faster stat or making a move that involves only their nose and fight back with your grotesque genitalia of power.
---
That's my idea for a game. Some plot slightly missed but you get the basic idea for my game. It's a shame this game or a similar game will never be made because either:
A) The amount of epicness this game will produce is so massive that the entire planet will subsiquently collapse. Or...
B) The idea is so dumbfoundly complicated, long-winded and stupid no company will ever take the time, money or effort to even try and make the absurd amount of variation.
I'm guessing A.

A Yoshi's Island game for the Wii, where throwing eggs and possibly lashing out his tongue require pointing your remote at the screen.
Oh, and no other babies besides Mario.
And it has awesome music that do not revolve around a solitary riff.
Yeah...

I had this weird idea running in my head about a sort of multiplayer Yoshi's Tournament game, where you play as a Yoshi and you pick up eggs lined along the ground, and then throw them at other players. It'd be like Yoshi's Island except in a deathmatch-like setting. I've been thinking about some of the gameplay mechanics, and also some techniques I could use when it comes time to do online netplay.
In fact, let me get started on that one right now...

Online Mario-themed Chess for the DS.
That would be the bomb.

Bah, being a little more specific...
It would be nice having a 'Yoshi Story' themed massive mutiplayer online role playing game; graphics being 3D and not 2D. Nintendo has made some very good RPG games to begin with such as Super Mario RPG, Mario and Luigi Series, Paper Mario series, etc. Nintendo lacks an MMORPG. One on the DS would be sweet.

Okay, here's something that's been on my mind!... which means it's totally whacked up and crazy.
Okay, so you are the bad guy here. Yup. You cause the chaos! You're an alien looking dude. 4 eyes, 6 arms, all glowy and stuff... yeah! The problem is... you're a small alien dude. So when you first arrive in... um... let's say New York for a cliche's sake, you are harmless to most humans. So, what do you do? You kill animals, maybe steal a baby from a cradle, all that silly evil crap. The more you kill and the more destruction points you get, the bigger you get.
Now, when you get bigger you can customize you're alien a bit. Maybe he has some sort of armor that grew, spikes, lazer eyes, the works! Now you move on to humans. Now that you're bigger, you can kill some people, which causes panic. So, of course the police will come. Now you can steal their guns and attack them, or just use an alien ability of you're choice.
Okay, now you're even bigger and can change you're look to make you even stronger. You can now destroy cars, kills more people, maybe now you can even attack the local zoo animals...
And get bigger! Now you can choose to either grow wings, or update some other sort of nonsence. So, I bet most will choose wings, and you are now about the size of a small plane. Which means you can destroy them! New York is now in a state of chaos, not to mention the FBI and military are here to take you down, with you're newfound power you can go to other places.
But what's this? Another alien? On what will be you're planet? Destroy it in an epic boss battle! If you win, you can customize some more to add another ability and such. There will be other boss battles with aliens, so explore and try to fight them all to get bigger and stronger.
Once you are the size of Godzilla, you rightfully rule the planet and destroy more stuff. But, the military doesn't like that so you have a boss battle with a giant robot they made. If you win, it's free play from there. You can unlock concept art, mini movies and all that crap.
Yeah, got the idea playing Jaws: Unleashed.

A friend and I were randomly talking one day about some Yoshi game. He wants to call it Yoshi's Rescue. Yeah, right. The way I envisioned his game, Peach is kidnapped once mo' 'gain (  ), and it's up to Yoshi to save her since, like he said, the Mario Bros. are on vacation. But before they can react, the warp pipes are blocked by some sort of magic (ice, he said?). However, further into the story, the evil duo Bowser and Kamek would start to turn the heat up a bit as they develop some sort of conflict on the antagonist spectrum. Kamek wouldn't want to listen to anymore of Bowser's cliché tasks, and knowing Kamek is the backbone of all Bowser's evil deeds anyway (ever since childhood), and by being the one possessing such dark magic, he would eventually prove his true worth and shun Bowser out of his own kingdom (oh snap, a twist!). Low on morale and plotting to regain his castle back from a seriously once long-time friend, the ailing Koopa joins Yoshi to save the Princess (most likely for his own, no surprise there), and to get his castle back. Insert more plot twists here (such as Peach taking yet another bath after 3 hours, which seems like eternity to her, only to excite the player on what hairdo she'll temporarily put up next). Insert something about new friends and helpers here (return of Poochy, moar Bumpty action, etc.) Oh, and of course, he'll be able to use the Wii remote to aim at the screen where he'll shoot eggs and where he'll use his tongue to lap up enemies. Fancy stuff like that. We'll call it Yoshi's Archipelago or something. Only if Yoshi's Isthmus doesn't fly. |

That idea is totally awesome, John. We need to form a Yoshi's Corner game development group. Now.

I'd just find it interesting to have a Yoshi game of his own taking place during modern settings (you know, when Mario is still... Mario, except he won't be there).

Any game that would require you to be a short guy with a ZZ-Top beard that plays combat polka on a checkered accordion.
