The Wii U gimmicks are actually fun, but when you think about it someone could code a PC game that uses an iPad/Galaxy tablet to do the same thing.

EDIT: You know what would actually be pretty fucking awesome? If they made an Avatar: The Last Airbender game for Kinect. Just imagine the possibilities...

Kinect is pretty much entirely possibilities, no content.

Yes, like the Wii they made like 2 dancing games and a sports one, then a horror one, and then forced Rare to make umpteen more dancing and sports ones. Oh, there was a lightsaber one but that's all that's been realized so far. More possibilities have been realized by the people who hacked Kinect. Kinect minecraft, anyone?

Anyway, if Microsoft or Nickgames would just put their foot forward, I would totally buy a bending game.

Some IPs would lend themselves very well to genres they never were seen in before.
As in...

A Pokemon MOBA. Come on, it has everything it needs! Technically.
Or a DC Comics/Marvel MOBA.
Or a turn-based Pokemon strategy in the lieu of Heroes of Might and Magic. (I even made something about it somewhere, but never got around to updating it.)

No no no no no no no

"In lieu" means "instead", not "in style". I see a lot of people making this mistake, and I can't take it any more.

Well, you learn something new every day.
(I hardly ever use this term anyway.)

Still though, games like those I mentioned would be at least fun to see - whether they'd actually be good is another matter altogether, but in this thread we're looking at the best case scenarios.

And that's also where the word "Lieutenant" comes from. They're the tenant in lieu of who's actually in charge.

There's a DC Comics MOBA coming out right now called "Infinite Crisis"

I have never seen that mistake before.

[LeoLeonardoIII]

Neither have I. But the fact that you all brought up all the points I was going to make just warms my heart.

[Urist McScoopbeard]

A game that combines the minion-loot/armor system from overlord with customization and large multiplayer servers.

[itisnotlogical]

A Matrix game where one player is the hacker, a team of players is inside the Matrix and the other team is made up of Agents. The hacker sees an overhead view of what's going on and has to use (greatly simplified) terminal commands to assist their team by generating items, triggering electronic devices and altering the map's terrain. Meanwhile, the Agents have all of their strength/agility from the movies, and the people inside the Matrix are just regular shmoes who know kung-fu and have a ton of guns.

rm -f agents.exe

That would actually be a neat game.  Are there any other games that have that general principal?

None that I know of. The kind of cross-play I'm talking about is planned for Dust 541 and E.V.E Online, but AFAIK it's not actually implemented yet.

Also speaking of popular franchises reimagined in new genres, I want Metroid RTT/RTS. I would envision it working best more like the former in terms of unit quantity, but with some of the base-building/resource-harvesting aspects of the latter. Send out your little squads of space pirates to capture metroids and stuff.

[Robosaur]

Or a DC Comics/Marvel MOBA.

It exists. Infinite Crisis.
