Zelda + Animal Crossing
Imagine a main Zelda quest that was perfectly traditional. Then add villages that acted much like the one in Animal Crossing...including your very own customizable home. People send you letters, there are holidays, the weather corresponds to real time, etc. etc. You can hunt in dungeons for rupees...or you could take the far more benign root of catching bugs and fishing (Hell, they could just throw in the OoT minigame with a boatload more fish that changed with the weather). The potential for sidequests could be far more elaborate and far FAR more rewarding then either Animal Crossing or Zelda could muster as they are now. Imagine a sidequest that required the culmination of different events that took place over an entire year.
None of this would really have an effect on the main quest. But imagine exploring hyrule field, on your way to your third dungeon, and spotting a caravan of horses that are only going to be around for that one day. It would really paint Hyrule as something that breathes; one of the best aspects of Majoras Mask incidentally. If a game like this were to be made (Obviously not holding my breath), it would be in the hopes that people would continue to play long, llooonnnggg after they've beaten the game.

Tomb Raider I + Diablo II
Take away the guns of Tomb Raider, add in multiplayer online play, and actually help each other explore, climb, and navigate huge environments while hacking and slashing. I want this...

Dead Rush actually looks like it's pretty good. It was one of those overlooked gems at E3. Probably cuz it was mostly behind closed doors.
You're damn right it does look pretty good.

So picture a TURN BASED strategy war game like, say Romance of the Three Kingdoms, only when two armies meet, a DYNASTY WARRIORS style battle occurs, complete with up close and personal sword swinging action. See, the addition of that realtime battle component to the fully fleshed out strategy component is what I'd like to see if I could
which is what the topic is ABOUT.Flynn said:

GOTY! I want this one badly.
Lets see, my suggestion is:
Final Action Replay Fantasy
Combine FF with the cheat codes to remove the sucktastic random battles. Mmm, I might play some Action Koudelka Replay now.
More seriously, Ever Unreal Quest 2004, the MMORPG with no timesinks and auto attack. You may call it Dynasty Quest if you like melee classes. Sprinkled with some good variety of tactically useful skills and strategy requirements for the big PvE mobs. And PvP.
THE DEFINITIVE GAME! Almost.
And of course, even if is not a game, MircTorrent. Mirc + Bittorrent protocol for fserve = the uber HARRRR tool.
What about Ultima 7 + Silent Hill?
DW + Board game is good idea.
Id also like a seamless gameplay integration, something like DW + RPG + RTS. DW + Celtic Wars would be a good definition, also for the different ambientation.

Pokémon + Final Fantasy Tactics
OK... so this would actually have a fair chance of not being better than the original games, but it would be a great complement. Instead of carrying around 6 Pokémon and only using 1 or 2 at a time, get the whole group fighting on a grid. Could be a Stadium-esque companion game to a portable title.
River City Ransom + Grand Theft Auto III
GTA3 is the closest a game has come to bringing the goofiness, nonlinear world, and just plain mess-around factors of RCR to the 3D stage. Basically add RCR-esque fighting system and upgrades to a GTA 3D world, and I'd buy it for a dollar.

The Legends of Zelda: Knights of the Old Republic
A prequel that predates all of the Zelda games, you will play as the Sages who must choose between the side of good and evil. One of them would be Ganon.
Kingdom Hearts: Mario Edition
The gameplay of Kingdom Hearts. Casts and worlds from Different Nintendo games. Imagine Mario and Link teaming up or Mario and Samus.

Resident Evil and Beyond Good and Evil. Replace BGE crappy story with RE and keep the exploration and investigation side (although a completely new battle system would be needed, either would clash with the other style.)
