Not sure about third party, but definitely Mario, Zelda, Metroid and Pikmin.

A follow up on Metroid Other M where it fixes what made fans disappointed about the first one.

A game that can go back in time a destroy it's prequel would create a paradox though!

[ENGAGE SEE - REE - ESS MODE]

I don't want them to even try and fix it (I'm not sure it's even possible) because it'd probably muck things up even more. Just forget it and get an awesome sauce HD Prime-style game.

Honestly, I didn't want to hurt feelings. Sorry if I did.

I think we was talking to me

I do apologize, but I felt speaking the truth was the right course of action at the time. Honestly, if these 'sports' can't fit into the main game, they shouldn't be there at all.

First thought? Honestly? **** OFF.

Then I thought, actually no... tha- no, no, it really is a terrible idea. Archery? That can go in the main games (And already is). Racing? Is the running man not enough? Tennis? Please lord no. Dancing Stage Zelda Mix!? As a Zelda fan, you should be ashamed for even suggesting such a ridiculous idea. Zelda is a hardcore Nintendo series, Mario on the other hand, is really suited for casual sports games. Zelda sports games? Ugh, what's next? A Metroid-based life sim?

Oh god no, shut up. Brawl style Mario would look awful.

Someone's been watching Disney movies.

Yeah, because Pirates never really fought against the Navy and the East India Trading Company in real life, did they?

I've had this idea for a while, actually. It's a bit different to the normal shooters out on the market, where you've got you're guns and you're out on the battle field, just shooting people willy nilly. A large portion of this game would be spent out at sea. The idea behind the game is Pirates vs the East India Trading Company/Royal Navy. The character should be fully customizable (On what else should you spend your stolen money? Except for more weapons that is - and bigger ships.)
The basic concept is that you become a pirate, and you have to find a crew to join (I'm thinking that perhaps the game logs into your system's clock, and depending on what day of the year it is there would be different crews to join, sometime none at all). At first it's unlikely that you'd start with more than a small schooner, but you can sail around to find ships to plunder and potentially steal. With this money you can go out and buy guns, swords and clothing, or if you have enough, ships.
This game should probably have some fantasy elements, such as the Kraken, the Flying Dutchman, ect. if only to keep it interesting after a while. By the time you encounter these "bosses" you should have a big fleet of ships. This should take most of the attention off the main character for a while, and bring in a more RTS style theme to the game, where you use the touch screen to take control of your fleet from a birds eye view, trying to tackle the enemy, or flee as the case may be.
Later on in the game you may possibly be caught by the Navy. I'm not sure if I want to introduce a sort of 'Game over' scene where you get hanged, but I'm definitely open for your crew to be caught and be hanged. Perhaps you'll be asked to become a privateer, and you'll be given the choice to work for the Navy. This would not be a bad choice, especially if you get a bigger ship, a bigger crew, and a bigger amount of loot.
And how about online? Perhaps you and your friends could come together and fight along side each other, or fight against each other, battling over the treasure.
