Mario RPG. No the Paper Mario and Mario & Luigi series (while fine games themselves) do not count.

Hollow Knight
I know Team Cherry is working on it, but I'm still pumped for when they're ready to release it.
I would love a new Mother game to be honest...
or another Super Lucky's Tale, with a bit more challange. That game was a real surprise, how nice of a platformer it is, also really really great music.
I've been diving into Fallout lately. Love the world building. Definitely wouldn't mind a 5th installment. May wait a few years after they release it for them to fix the worst of the bugs before playing it though. Bethesda may make great games, but damn they a buggy mess.
Have you tried fallout London?
The PokΓ©mon main line games. I really hope to see they'll improve and maybe even reach a somewhat okay level of quality. But let's be honest, they'll probably fuck up big time with the next generation as well
The things I care about have been getting stripped away every game, and they're selling more copies than ever. I suspect the next mainline game will be the first time since the Gold/Silver remakes that I actively choose to not buy a mainline Pokemon game.
Legends, on the other hand...
I stopped after sword and shield. They are so bad and uninspired I couldn't bring myself to play anymore
Been watching and waiting for Hollow Knight 2 for entirely too long, but I'd rather have a polished but delayed game then a crap rushed one.
Weβre about due for another game from my favorite series : Tomb Raider
Jak & Daxter. I'd even take a reboot. Precursor Legacy is damn near perfect but 2 and 3 could benefit from QoL improvements for sure
Mass Effect. Not sure how I will feel without the old crew tho.
Ive been following Exodus here and there. Its being made by many of the original Bioware people.
Oh by crew I meant Shepard's crew, I grew attached those characters from the original trilogy. I'm not up to date but I haven't seen any hints of characters coming back except for Liara, not sure if it even makes sense to bring them back.
Bushido Blade.
All fighting games are boring in comparison to the first of this franchise. Could literally remaster the first one and change nothing but the graphics and it would be a hit.
Treasures of the deep as well. That one needs a controller scheme rework for sure.
Quantum Break. Its ending most certainly was teasing a sequel. Unfortunately, Microsoft was never willing to sell the rights to the IP to Remedy.
Probably Freelancer it's going to sound weird because supposedly the Elite/X games are better, but I've honestly never enjoyed them as much as I liked Freelancer.
Basically flying about in a ship, doing missions and upgrading weapons etc until you can buy a better ship, online was fun as well.
So yeah Id like them to reboot it.
Yep Freelancer was awsome ! Online fights were epic !
Going in the Nomads sector to drop their weapon or looking for a hidden ship wreck in a meteor cloud or just chilling in the empty/cold space and blasting pirates you encounter.
The single player story was very enjoyable and was not that bad for the time. Makes me sad it's in the hands of Microsoft's cold case :(.
Damn I miss this game !
I was waiting for stalker 2. Super psyched to play it this weekend. The first 3 are some of my all time favourite games.
Kingdoms of Amalur. Though I'm just happy the new DLC was decent after such an odd history getting there. I doubt a faithful sequel can be done from scratch.
Elder Scrolls 6, but after Starfield shown Bethesda is willing to sabotage the best thing about their games (modding) for no reason i'm not hyped at all.
X-Com 3, but i'm extremely pessimistic after the awful Chimera Squad, completely missed Midnight Suns and the generally weird direction entire genre seems to take lately with abandoning strategic layer in favour of boring sneaky real time exploration.
I would love Battletech 2 and Battlefleet Gothic 3 but there is zero hope after both of those series got dropped harder than 1000 ton steel ball in the ocean.
Horizon Zero Dawn/Forbidden West sequel. Love the entire series and while christmas this year came early with both a Zero Dawn Remaster and a LEGO Horizon Adventures release (and I'm also really into LEGO so yay!) I can't wait to see how the story continues after the developments in part two.
I'm excited to see the new jet set radio and crazy taxi.
Not because I'm at all interested in playing them but because I want to see the absolute shitshow they will both assuredly release as.
Endless Ocean: Blue World. I got Endless Ocean: Luminous for Christmas and it is so half-assed and soulless that playing it actually raises my stress level instead of reducing it. My disappointment is truly immeasurable. It turns into anger because there are decisions that are just so objectively bad that they clearly knew were bad but just didn't care.
Sonic Frontiers 2 or another Sonic game with the Frontiers formula.
The first game was really good and promising. Technical problems aside, the experiment the Sonic Team did (the open zones) worked great and was the best part of the game. After the success of Shadow Generations, which also implemented the Frontiers formula on an smaller scale, I'm pretty sure the next big game would be way past Amazing.
I thought Shadow Generations was just a rerelease or remaster of Sonic Generations but with Shadow content added.
Have I been mistaken and missing out on new Sonic?
It is both! A rerelease and a new game put together. The Shadow part wasn't just "new content", it was a whole independent story with new game mechanics and such. It was weird but it worked out pretty well.
I have the idea that it was a way for the Sonic Team to test again the Frontiers formula without remaking all Frontiers the ground up. They were like: "Does the people really REALLY liked this formula?", and after the success they'll be like"Yep, they like it. Let's go for it".

Batman Arkham
Pikmin 5
Hi-Fi Rush.
I was so distraught when the studio was closed despite selling extremely well and working on a sequel. I am beyond excited now that the studio has been picked up by ~~Zenimax~~ Krafton. There's no confirmation, but you don't go from planning a sequel to a breakout hit, to being closed down, to being picked up by another parent company just to scrap said sequel.
EDIT: Fixed the company buy-up. Forgot the order of things.
Vampire masquerade bloodlines...yes I know they're working on one, but they've been working on it for years now and it's been bouncing around to different devs, which just seem to either try and make it something else or deviate from the original completely.
Viva PiΓ±ata
Dark Messiah: First person action RPG where you kick Orcs into spikes a lot. Add some more gimmicks, more verticality and enemy variety, basically done.
C&C Generals: Sequel was planned but canceled. The original still has a following, AoE2 had multiple profitable remasters. The genre might be more niche but it isn't dead.
Bulletstorm: Stupid fun FPS with a ridiculous story, not quite a "boomer shooter" but a sequel could definitely profit from that current trend.
Also Slay the Spire and Cyberpunk 2077, but those are actually happening.
Funny one: Psi-Ops
The game ending on a cliffhanger was so disappointing.
Holy shit. I thought I was the only one who played it
