I'd make a dating simulation with anime/gaming characters. Kinda like the Sims or Harvest Moon. Only you could marry anyone, not just certain people like with HM. =/

I'd make a side-scrolling RPG. The gameplay would be like River City Ransom in as sense, but with a different plot, a different stat system, and a different skill system. The stat system would go something like this:There are several characters, each with different stats in seven characteristics:

• HP: Health points. Basically how much damage the character can take before getting KOed.
• EP: Energy Points. This is used for performing special attacks, but how much remains also has an effect. If it's high, the character gets a minor overall stat bonus. If it's low, the character gets a stat penalty. For some characters, if this hits zero, the character will faint as if his or her HP hit zero.
• Strength: How much damage the character can deal, and how much weight he or she can carry for items and equipment, and moving obstacles.
• Intelligence: How effective energy/psionic/magic special attacks are in dealing damage. Characters with high intelligence can even repair and operate mechanical systems, restoring certain characters' HP, opening hidden paths, and improving combat performance.
• Technique: How well the character can use and learn melee and weapon skills.
• Endurance: How well the character can take damage. The higher this is, the less damage attacks deal to your character, and the more maximum HP the character has.
• Vitality: Affects the character's agility and maximum EP.

As the character performs certain actions enough times, the stats increase.

• HP is based mostly on the endurance stat and partially on the strength stat
• EP is based on vitality and intelligence.
• Strength increases when the character uses melee and weapon attacks of any kind, and when carrying heavy objects.
• Intelligence increases when energy-based skills are used, and when the character attempts to operate machinery.
• Technique increases when melee/weapon specials are performed.
• Endurance increases when the character takes damage.
• Vitality increases slowly when any action is performed. It increases at a greater rate when the character is suffering stat penalties due to nearing maximum carrying capacity.

The skill system goes like this: Each character has several unique skills, but some of them are locked until he or she can master other skills and/or when his or her stats reach a certain level. Also, when certain characters' technique and intelligence skills are high enough, he or she can learn skills from other characters, friend or foe, simply by watching that character perform the move enough times. There is a limit to how many, based on those stats. The absolute maximum number of skills the character can learn this way (at maximum intelligence and technique) is 8.Character can wear equipment like in an RPG to boost his or her stats, and sometimes, how the character is equipped affects what skills the character can or can not use.And yes, expect to find lots of cameos from popular videogame characters, who can appear as allies, enemies, or NPCs. A good number of them will be important to the plot, as well.
