Mario Party 2000
Description: After the enormous success of the first outing in the series and the probable success of the soon-to-be-revealed sequel it seems that Nintendo thinks it has hit a vein, a family-oriented game that is accessible to all ages. Since multi-player gaming will no doubt continue to be a priority for Nintendo in the next generation this may be a perfect title to show that dedication early and since the mini-games you play in the original Mario Party weren't terribly complex the development time for this sort of title would probably make it a great candidate for filling out the early N2000 line-up.
Basic Features: Over 100 available mini-games with many having variations worked in, creating an even higher total
4-player fun for any group with accessible controls, simple gameplay, and enough randomness to keep it interesting
A larger cavalcade of characters to choose from either branching out into Nintendo's other properties or expanding the Mario universe characters
An accompanying larger variety and boards to choose from, this time incorporating more secrets into them that can only be found by adventurous players
Extra Goodies: -
Hidden bonus mini-games that can be unlocked through gameplay. This could include some Nintendo classics like the original Mario Brothers, Wrecking Crew, Excitebike?!?!
Hidden characters and levels for people to find
Create-a-character mode using a more Mr. Potato head kind of interface for the facial features and a mix and match set of body elements (DD-like saving required)
Playable over whatever network solution they utilize
Maybe some mini-game creation elements if some games involve tracks that could be modified

Not bad if you have some sort of special controllers for that type of game, i don't mean those cheating auto switch buttons i mean ones that fit your hand perfectly ready for each mini game.
You may know about that fish rod Sega made, it is very well made designed to act like an actual Fish rod but much more easier to handle for a virual fishing game rather than being like a real fishing rod.
