Non Existing Video Games You Would Love To Have

What the fuck is this derail. I didn't want to step in because I figured it had petered out, but this is a bit much.

I'm not taking sides here - I'm personally of the opinion that the mascot platformer is pretty dead, and I relish the games that move away from the collectathon format.

If say, Infamous 2 suddenly decided to become (soley) about collecting Blast Shards and jumping around, it would mechanically be a mascot platformer, but it would also be generically bad. Also consider that budget games tend to default to Mascot Platformer (if not Kart Racer).

tl;dr: DK and Kirby are just great, but I'd like it if they did games that weren't straight up platform jumping, it's a dead horse.
