I say... Excitebike (and motorcross/supercross genre as well)

A good dirtbike racing game could bring the kind of realism we like from many racing sims without sacrificing the free-wheeling kind of racing fun we get out of games like Mario Kart.

There's so much potential with VR/AR with a game like ExciteBike -- you need only watch some real-life GoPro footage to figure that out.

And then there's the whole aspect of how alternative sports games like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, SSX, Dave Mirra's Freestyle BMX etc have now been missing from the marketplace for a long time.

This is true. A lot of the more niche sports haven't had games in a long time. It would be nice to see someone bring it back with full support for that specific sport instead of a mini game like experience.

I would like a dirtbike racer!

Fire Emblem has grown from a japan only to niche game in the west. Suddenly it "saves" the 3DS! Its gameplay works on all plattforms, it could expand into mobile, online/MMO gaming and even full 3D. It has a mix of art styles (pixel - cartoon - 3D) + gorgeous cutscenes that all can be emphasized on different platforms.
