It's like the Brain Garbage thread, but for game ideas!
Never gonna make your game idea? That's fine.
Your idea is exceptionally cursed? All the more reason to post it!
Symphony of the Night (PS1) is the sequel to Rondo of Blood (PCE-CD).
What if it was developed as the sequel to the SNES Dracula X instead?
pinball game where the crowded arcade is represented by speech bubbles that appear over the playfield to block your vision (i might actually make this one as an art piece)
Zelda 2 has crumble blocks
therefore
someone could make da crumblah for Zelda 2
da crumblah 2: even crumblaher
Cave Story mod with loads of palette and raster effects called Rave Story.

Apparently this already exists:

Hack Idea: Make this, but for your game of choice:
Peasant's Quest SGI Remake
Related, but I think it would be very funny for some dork to port a Sierra game to SCUMM and a LucasArts game to AGI/SGI. Definitely a very sane thing to do, and a very reasonable use of one's time.

aw shucks, the engine is actually called
SCI, meaning Sierra
Creative Interpreter. I got that confused because Sierra's previous engine was called
AGI, which means Adventure
Game Interpreter. We regret the error and will strive to do better in the future.
Note: Persons on this forum who use AGI to refer to "Artificial General Intelligence" will be launched towards the nearest solar mass. Thank you for your cooperation. :smug:
So Little City -- a riff on MST's venerable "So Little" series of Super Metroid hacks, except it takes place in Salt Lake City. Like Tour of Italy, upgrades would be named after local cuisine and stuff, like funeral potatoes, fry sauce, and, uh... jello.
wow, they have jello?
yeah. it's called the "jello belt" for a reason (i have no idea if this is a stale meme or still relevant there)
now that i think about it, having the jello be a liquid that you bounce off of would be really silly and fun (i think sonic mania has a gimmick like this)
what if someone made a hack where Federation Force was cancelled in-universe and Samus had to do it herself?? XD
If you invent a whole new, m*ssed up 8th deadly sin, then you'd have enough sins for a full coterie of Mega Man bosses.
Y-Faster 3: Gensokyo Drift
Y-Faster 4: The French & The Furious
Expensive game idea (offered for free):
Rockstar, you should make a follow-up to Uniracers and then use your obscene GTA6 profits to crush Disney-Pixar into fine paste in the court of law for pulling the original game off the market on spurious premises.
Someone should demake Super Metoid in Metroid 1.
Like this, perhaps:
Crossover kart racer, multiplayer Space Harrier-like, or Shufflepuck Cafe clone featuring characters from the Samantha-verse and Snorb's La Vie-niverse.
da crumblah: Metroid 1 Edition would be hilarious because of how (in horizontal rooms) the screen wraps vertically
i have considered looking at m1 hacking. if the block system is anywhere near sane, maybe it could happen :hey:
Someone should make a hack that makes Kraid tsundere.
a game so scandalous that it gets slapped with an ESRB rating of CO (Centenarians Only) (equal to PEGI 99+)
Mega Man 6 hack that turns Mr. X's fortress into Twitter's headquarters.
System Erasure (developers of Zero Ranger and Void Stranger) should make a farming simulator titled Null Granger.
hey meta-sama-sempai-san-kun!!!!! :yay: :yay: :yay: metroid prime 4: beyond the sea looks so good, but i cant affford a swicht 2 to play the game!!! :cry: :cry: :cry: can u pleas make a 16-bit version with mode 7 motorbike segmnets like cnorno trigger?? i swaer ill rate it 5 orbs when it comes out!! pretty please?? :angel: :angel: :angel:
HACK IDEA: Save stations require the player to expend energy/health to use them, because the power is out.
A game advertised with the slogan:
"You helped make this game! Yes, you!"
The game has a sliding difficulty system that is perpetually linked to atmospheric CO2.
Are we talking about global atmospheric CO2, or CO2 in the room you're playing in?
BAD IDEA: Wiring up a Carbon Monoxide detector as a game input.
Quote from: RT-55J on Sun, 2025 - 11 - 16, 02:00 PMAre we talking about global atmospheric CO2, or CO2 in the room you're playing in?
Global. It's fun because every human influences the game. If the game is too hard you can simply fix the environment. On the other hand, you can pollute to troll the noobs.
What I'm hearing is that we need to make this one of those terrible gacha waifu-sploitation games in an effort to get the richest man on the planet addicted to it for life.
Donkey Kong Country hack that features pre-rendered New Donk City levels.
Donkey Kong Country hack that gives the game Normal Graphics.
Quote from: RT-55J on Fri, 2025 - 11 - 21, 08:13 PMDonkey Kong Country hack that gives the game Normal Graphics.
You mean Windswept?
close enough
bad idea: what if we gave metroid 2's map some Normal Pills
Metroid-2-no-overlap.png
a game where everything is fine and nothing bad happens and everything is cool
you've heard of
remakes
demakes
what about
beemakes
it's like a remake, except with bees
Quibble Race/Uma Musume crossover
spoof of MetroidNerd's Pit of 100 Trials named "Pit of 100 Myles"
When will Mappy get its Bomberman: Act Zero?
vvvvvv but each time you swap gravity it rotates by 180.1 degrees.
Final Fantasy 8 spin-off starring Selphie for the Wii
because, you know, nunchucks
Commander Neen - A mod of Commander Keen that replaces that silly boy with a fae fairy.
i support this endeavor
Golf game in the Hydlide engine.
Final Fantasy 4, but Cecil Harvey is replaced by Family Feud host Steve Harvey.
some one do it

Mega Man Soccer eSports Edition for EVO 2027
Action platformer based on Metamorphosis, but instead of waking up as a bug man, MC wakes up as a super popular, super copyrighted character. They have to find a way to undo the curse while avoiding rabid fans and the hired mercenaries sent to kill them by the eeeeevil corporation enforcing their IP protection.
The Adventures of Bayonetta Billy
NEStroid with a 6th area modded in. oooooh, spooky...
adventure/RPG game where there are multiple arcades that share some games, but their operators configure the dip switches differently. if you do too well at a certain location, the operator may jack up the difficulty the next time you go there.
sam jam thank you sam
this was meant for the brain garbage thread i clicked on the WRONG THREAD

thank you for sharing. I hate this so much
SPACER ERACER [Yes spelled like that]
Ships from different ship-based franchises compete in a big space-race with Mario Kart style powerups. But oh no! It looks like one of them gets erased from the game at every major checkpoint.
But oh no again! There's some big conspiracy behind the deathrace and it's up to YOU, GALAGA SHIP, TO
QuoteMy ideas:
M1 Underhaul: a meme hack showcasing edits of my disassembly, using m1disasm-editor (https://github.com/H-A-M-G-E-R/m1disasm-editor)
It's the same Zebes, but with too many memes stuffed in. New playable characters (Touhou girls, Mario, Peter Griffin, Squidward, Mega Man, Doropie, Alis Landale (there's a spritesheet for her https://www.spriters-resource.com/custom_edited/phantasystarcustoms/asset/226991/), Junko (Junkoid), Junko (Touhou), and more (not all included, some moved to seperate hacks)), enemies (ported enemies from later games, and new enemies such as fairies from Touhou), powerups (spider ball, more to come...), and bosses (ported bosses from later games and Touhou girls).
Also has lots of level and progression edits. Notably, everything is repainted, Games Repainted-style.
I guess Marisa Kirisame and Nitori Kawashiro fit in Metroid hacks.
Quoted from https://forum.metroidconstruction.com/index.php/topic,6275.msg78339.html
A Super Metroid meme hack called Subpar Metroid. Just change Samus' physics to work like Super Tofu Boy's and go from there.
Metroid Fusion hack where Myles is in the computer instead of Adam.
I don't think that would be that difficult, actually. MAGE includes a pretty decent text editor.
The hardest part would be importing the graphics if you wanted multiple different expressions from Myles (or adding additional scenes if you're nasty).
How about this: a NEStroid hack released in 2026. Gotta keep that yearly streak alive!
I believe in ur skillz :hey:
Which games deserves an HD remake that is so one-to-one that you can toggle between the new and old graphics at the same time? See the example from Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap
