At this year’s E3, I would love to see a brand newStarTropicsgame. The first two games on the NES are two of myfavorite games of all time, and it would be so amazing to see a new sequel set in that same pleasant, colorful,uniqueuniverse. 3DS or Project Cafe is just fine, Nintendo. I am not picky. Thanks in advance!
Will this announcement happen? Not likely. But that shouldn’t stop the fun speculation! One of the most entertaining parts about E3 is the approaching excitement revolving around what crazy, out-of-nowhere game announcements may happen at the big show.
So that’s what this post is all about! What is your dream game announcement at this year’s E3? It can be anything! The more unlikely, the better! And who knows? IfThe Secretis to be believed, anything you put in the universe is bound to come true!

Oh, also? AFull Throttlesequel, please. Thanks!
I’m going with one that has a decent chance of happening, I think. At this point,Pikmin 3for Cafe. It’s one of Nintendo’s few games where HD can have a remarkable impact — I may or may not have emulatedPikmin 2on my PC before — and more system power equals greater scale, something I badly want for the series. It’d also be a good fit when you consider the new controllers. I’m having flashbacks to the Dreamcast VMU.
The Orgy ™ console is announced, which plays games from any system announced in the last 20 years in 1080p.
I think my head would explode overMega Man 2 HD.
One of my dream game announcements would be a new HD follow-up toSecret of Manafor the SNES. Same “sprite” graphics in full on HD that explores the world after the first game (i.e. Matango, Pandora, and Potos Village). If this were to be announced at E3, I’ll totally run on stage and perform an interpretative dance to the theme that plays in Gaia’s Navel. (I LOVE THAT SONG!! <3 <3)
Actually I want to see anotherEnslaved. I fell completely in love with that game and its world and want to explore it more and more. I’m pretty sure the lackluster sales mean it’ll never happen, but that would be awesome. Also,Battletoadsbecause they’re awesome.
I wantDynamite Headdy 2because, dammit, if Rayman can make a comeback then why not that other hero with the disembodied head? I also want a brand-new, top-downZeldafor home consoles, but that’s never gonna happen.
I want Ubisoft to announce that the entireAssassin’s Creedfranchise is in fact a prequel to theDeus Exfranchise, because when you think about it, that is the natural progression of things.
An all new, totally sprite-based 2D fighting game from Capcom that looks likeStreet Fighter 3and features characters from every era of Capcom’s history: Strider, Amaterasu, Sissel fromGhost Trick, Frank West, the gay samurai fromGunbird 2, Poison, Mega Man, no-dreadlocks Rad Spencer — the works.
Failing that, I’ll takeViewtiful Joe 3.
(And I’m 99% sure Jordan will get his wish withPikmin 3on Cafe.)
I’d kill for a newSuikodengame on 360 and PS3 — one that takes the series into the HD era in a big way. Huge full-scale army battles with thousands of characters on screen at once, a totally original battle system, and a story on par withSuikoden 2. Bonus points if they make it open and complex without requiring a FAQ to play halfway correctly.
If there’s any info onBorderlands 2, I might uncontrollably hump everything in sight and then pass out for 20 minutes.
I have a horrible and beautiful dream where Zynga has the biggest booth at the show. They announce that they boughtEve Onlineand that it will be moving to a Facebook-only format in order to make ‘the epic brand ofEve Onlinemore accessible to a synergistic demographic’. Anyone within a 20 ft. range of a player would be hit with a Gallagher concert-esque spray of brains, blood, and bits of skull as their heads simultaneously explode.
There’s one game that I can’t imagine ever happening but would make me void my bowels in excitement over should such a thing be announced. In my fantasy, this is an open world title from Rocksteady in which you would control a team of crack commando unit hiding in the Los Angeles underground trying to clear their names for a crime that they didn’t commit. Utilizing each member’s unique skills in the arts of deception, mechanical engineering, armed combat and piloting they survive as soldiers of fortune while putting together the pieces of the conspiracy which has forced them to live as fugitives. All the while, helping the citizens of LA.
Provided of course that these people have a problem, nobody can help them and said commando unit can be located.
Do want all of the above!
I’ll gladly take an announcement by LucasArts that they are creating a narrative-driven open world Star Wars game withRepublic CommandoandTIE Fighterground and space combat elements. In which you are a team of bounty hunters, working for the New Republic after the Battle of Endor and using all kinds of weaponry and space craft, of course!
Metal Arms: Glitch in the System 2is the game I would love to see announced. The original is one of the toughest, funniest, most unique games of the last generation, and despite critical acclaim it sold like dogshit. I’d love nothing more than for Activision to get the former Swingin’ Ape people together and start work on a new Metal Arms. Chances of that happening are somewhere in the “never” region, but a guy can dream.
An announcement for a new, real, direct sequel toChrono Triggermade by someone competent at Square that wouldn’t be anything like the other games Square’s been shitting out the last four years would probably make me cry.
Okay, so you knowOblivionandFallout? Right, well. I want that, but I want it set in the world of Beatrix Potter’s children’s books about animals. Peter Rabbit and Jemima Puddleduck. Flopsy Bunnies and Mrs. Tiggywinkle.
Now it’s your turn! What would beyourdream game announcement at E3? Remember, whatever you say in these magical comments may actually come true. SO NOYARIS IIJOKES! We can’t take any chances.
