You know, how about a lumberjack game? It could work, I mean come on Mario is a plumber!
The hero would be Jack the lumberjack, a strong, flannel wearing, mountain man. He has to rescue daisy from the evil beavers that are holding her hostage for their king, Beavser. Beavser is a man/beaver mutant with amazing tail power.
Jack can get cedar, oak and pine power ups by cutting down trees.
I would play it
But Nintendos real problem is not that they don't have enough new ideas, they are just not brave enough to use any of them! They are perfectly content with rehashing old games while games like Halo kick their butt.
How about a puzzle-type game? Maybe something like "Factory"?
You have a product you need to make, such as cologne, toothpaste, Mario action figures (If it's Nintendo, it needs mario [/sarcasm]), and that kind of thing. All the parts come in on one conveyor belt, and you have to open and close gates at the right time to get the parts to the proper machines to make the product. (This would make good use of the DS or Revolution touchscreen.)
I'd say if game makers want to keep text dialoge around why not make a console text based RPG. Leo Laport talked about one thats online for computers.
It sounded interesting esspecally because in the game they gave out this type of potion or whatnot and then the GMs make it a poision and everyone that used it died.

edit:
This is a story i did a while back but i changed it from there to here in the story it centers around the presidents daughter. The President Refuses to give up. the Mexicans Nuke Washington D.C. only allowing the presidents daughter to escape and not her father, her mother was taken hostage while she was in mexico doing a diplomatic meeting and killed. the Way the mexicans got the nukes was changed too, i put in the story that they illigal mexicans stole the nukes from our surpluss.

Mario Time Travel
You are a Mario's kid from the future named Jr. w/e. And you have to save the world by going back in time and getting help from every mario game ever. even tho its not a new idea, it would be fun.
Well Luc, I PM'd you but got an error so I'll post it here just in case:
Well its very long and thought out, here it goes:
Title: Blood Soldier
Backdrop: You are Project 8025 M.A.D (Mentally advanced blood). A higly classified military project that is complete. You are genetically enhanced blood so you can shape youreself into human form or a lot of forms. Although you can kill your enemy's the conventional way (Shooting, stabbing, twisting neck etc.....) You can also (in your blood state) enter your victim. Any cut, scratch or opening in the flesh is your invitiation to wreck havoc upon your enemy. Enter your enemy and guide yourself through his body. Destroy any organ or make him "stupid" by disrupting his nerve cells and his brain. You can even cause him to explode from the inside. There are also other unique ways to destroy the perpatraitor. Creep up your victim in your blood state and enter his lungs causing him to drown. Another way is (example) say you see somthing sharp laying on the ground, creep under the feet of your victim and make him slip therefore causing himself to be impaled on the protruding object. The fun is far from over. Any crack in the wall, any drain in the floor or even any piping is your portal and pathway. Lets say a door is locked and behind the door is the hostage you must retrieve (more on this later), turn into blood state and seep under the door into the room. Also say that inside a crate is an object that you need. In blood state, seep into the crate and turn back to human form inside the crate causing the crate to bust. Best of all, say your outside and there is sun, also the enemy is 20 miles North and the wind is blowing North, turn into blood form and let the sun evaporate you turning you into blood/cloud form. then when the wind has carried you to your target, you can start to rain ontop of your enemy and surprise them. If the enemy is in the bathroom washing his hands, seep into the piping and jump out of the faucet at him.
Main theme or plot of the game:
the R.O.O.T (Radical organization of terrorists) (or any other terrorist name will do) are taking U.S citizens around the globe hostage due to the United States involvment in forgein affairs that occuring to the R.O.O.T shouldn concern them, and are killing all of them to this date 500 U.S civilians are dead. But now a bigger tragedy has struck, somehow the R.O.O.T have been able to capture every single member of the presidents cabinet and cheif advisors and (1 for each of the terrorists demands) and promise to kill one for each demand not met. Your misison is to rescue each member if possible and along the way try to free some civilains. The missions will span around the globe due to the positioning of the terrorists.
How it should be:
It'd be cool to have it have multiple endings like if you cant rescue so and so or you dont get this info then you must work around that in this way. Also it'd be cool that in human form you would be able to observe liquids and how they flow and what they do and be able to "learn" that for when your in blood mode. Like how to reflect images to create illusions that could trick guards.
Well thats "Blood Soldier" in a nut shell. Hope Nintendo uses this material.
I know by experiance that Nintendo will not listen to you guys. In fact, I have a letter from them about a game suggeston. I don't want to type it because it is long. Here's basically what he said: They can use any fan ideas, because it takes time and money for projects they have already taken.[/quote]

I know this isn't an idea for a new game, but I wanted to say this: while Halo IS kicking ass, it really isn't that original of a game....I mean, the actual storyline and characters aren't new at all, but the GAMEPLAY of Halo is amazing, as are the Nintendo games......so personally, I couldn't care less about the characters and story, as long as the gameplay is fun and fresh...just my two cents
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!

Just to remind everybody, this is just to show Nintendo, we think they need change....
