Stage Select:
1. I want a new Tomba game. There were only 2 of them on the PSOne. They were made by a long dead company called Whoopee Camp, headed by a designer who worked on games for Capcom like Ghosts N Goblins and Mega Man. They were great 2-D platformers.
2. Steambot Chronicles. This was a Japanese kind of open world game where you play in the early 20th century in industrial revolution times, but instead of driving around Model T's, you drive bipedal mechs that you can battle. There was one game on the PS2, a side game on the PSP that focused on battling, and a game where the characters play the board game Blokus on the PSP. There was going to be a sequel on the PS3, but Irem went out of business. In Japan, this game series was called Bumpy Trot.
3. Tail Concerto. This was a 3-D action game where you are a police dog named Waffle driving a mech trying to catch criminal kittens. The team behind this game later went to do a lot of the .hack games. Later they came back and did a sequel called Solatorobo on the DS, but it didn't have the charm of the original game. They had too much .hack anime influences by then! Still a fun game, though, and I'd like to see them return to the charm and innocence of the original if they did another one.
I know you said only list three, but I'd also like to add that if Capcom released Mega Man Legends 3 on a new console that I don't have, I would totally buy that console. Better yet, a sequel to The Misadventures of Tron Bonne.
