Let Retro take a shot at a first-person Halo spinoff.

Yes Obsidian did,,, and did not do an amazing job if you ask me.

Today's Rare, mainly because that would mean the games would be exclusives to Xbox.

Perfect Dark to Insomniac. Their weapon designs, art style, etc. would work perfectly. Gameplay would take significant inspiration from No One Lives Forever.
Killzone to Julian Gollop for a strategy RPG with a healthy dash of X-Com inspiration sprinkled in.
Playstation All-Stars Battle Royale to Hideaki Itsuno, where he'd make a Power Stone styled arena brawler with a story line inspired by the old Reboot animated series, where you play the game characters who live inside a Playstation system.
Metroid to Platinum Games. I can't see how anyone who's put any real time in Vanquish wouldn't see this as a perfect direction for 3D Metroid to take.
Castlevania to Housemarque. Outland proved their chops in both the action RPG-lite genre and the ability to develop a unique and appealing art style. Castlevania needs the later to really stand out. As a digital download premium tier title (say $20) this could go far.
Spider-Man to Sucker Punch!. Lets be honest, Infamous is basically them living out a Spider-Man game fantasy without the IP and a darker narrative. Sony makes the movies as it is. Consolidate the IP in-house and let them make the epic Spider-Man game we all deserve.
Fable to the ex-Vigil team that is now a part of Crytek. With first party funding and Crytek's tech their art team would really shine and be able to do a single player Fable game justice. Makes perfect sense now that they've lost access to the Darksiders IP.
Chrono Trigger to Atlus' Radiant Historia. I mean, Radiant Historia's key gameplay mechanic was basically a "how to" for a JRPG time travel game.
Breath of Fire to From Software. Basically Dragon Quarter meets Dark Souls with a nice dash of Armored Core scale epic battles thrown in for mid-air dragon v. dragon fights.
Resident Evil to Irrational if they weren't now shuttered. Ken Levine and co. delivered two incredibly atmospheric titles with excellent corridor based gameplay. Would have loved to see their take on a survival horror game.
Final Fantasy to CDPR. They've got the chops to do it justice, no one else really does.
Stephen King's The Dark Tower to Rockstar, namely the people who worked on RDR. Pretty self explanatory.
Bioshock to Obsidian. I've always felt Bioshock would work best as a full fledged RPG, and Obsidian having a small, more constrained universe to work in would help their QA/QC. Their story lines chops are second to none and the only people I'd really expect to advance the story.
I could go on, but those are the ones right off the top of my head.

Hey Mario, I've made a cake for you... you might find a hair in it.
At first I thought Zelda to Retro sounded ridiculously stupid. The more I think about it though...my body is ready.
Just give Retro some 3D game with potential & it'll be 10/10, everything they touch is gold.
Also if Platinum became a second party Nintendo studio that'd be great.

Project Gotham Racing would go to Playground Games. If they're proved their worth with street racing in an open world I bet they could transport that knowledge to track-based.

Never thought about that, could be epic !
I'd love a Kamiya developed Starfox with every second level being an on foot action style game using Fox and his Bo staff.
I just want Nintendo to buy Sega and Platinum and then be bought by Disney.
All the friends die in the first act and Sonic goes of a roaring rampage of revenge.

would love to see Monolith Soft try it as well
Oh, this one's been said before, but Ghost&Goblins and Megaman to Nintendo.
Rayman to the guys at Retro who made the Rayman like DKCTF levels
The ones like these
Art style is preserved + David Wise + DKCTF best DK level design quality
I want to give Golden Sun to someone, but I don't know who.
Monolith Soft/Retro one Zelda each
PSABR to the Power Stone team. Different enough from Smash, but still fun as hell.
This. They could fix that mess of a story. Actually give everything to Naughty Dog. Destruction Derby to Evolution
This too. Even though Siren is good enough

Swat Kats to Platinum
TMNT to Platinum or Rocksteady (deja vu?)
PSASBR 2 to Platinum
Diddy Kong Racing to Sumo Digital
Kingdoms of Amalur to CDPR
...and others I can't think of off the top of my head
I can die happy!

This, along with Chrono series.
Parasite Eve to From.
Mana to Namco-Bandai.
Saga to Atlus.
Suikoden to Atlus.
Breath of Fire to Zeboyd Games.
Mortal Kombat to Namco
Way of the Warrior back to Naughty Dog
Killer Instinct to Netherrealm
FEAR to Kojima Productions
Mass Effect to Obsidian
Doom to Tripwire Interactive
Rainbow Six to Valve
Splinter Cell to Bungie
Nothing to Capcom as they've proven they can't handle anything anymore
Those would be really interesting to see, IMO. They may not all work out as I imagine they could, but it sure would be interesting to see.
Love some of what I've seen in here. I think my favorite is Zelda going to FROM. Can you imagine? Ha ha ha!

They would just cave in to the focus groups and make it a generic fighting game. Fuck man, killzone 2 was good and then...

My god, this sounds amazing
First thought: haha that's funny.
Second thought: damn right.
As Amusement Vision is no more it would be nice if a new F-Zero was handled by AM2.

I thought mine was good, but I would definitely buy a Soul Reaver game from CDPR.
Also, Half-Life 3 to someone who actually makes games.

After Bloodrayne: Betrayal I think WayForward could also do something cool with Castlevania.
I could get behind this.
