How about The Adoring Fan. Rather than being the hero that saves the world, you get to be an annoying little sidekick that tags along for the ride, avoiding danger and trying not to get ditched/killed by the hero.

I suppose there could be many more cases where a supporting character could be brought to the forefront. But you must pick and choose your candidates with care. Lest you end up with another Final Fantasy X-2. Did they seriously think that Yuna was good candidate for a main character? Then again, a fantasy game based around a J-Pop princess was probably doomed from the get-go.
She would have been a good candidate for a main character if they hadn't utterly assassinated her character in the sequel. I liked the old Yuna, who beat the shit out of Yunalesca. My version of the sequel is that Tidus stays dead, all the other characters gleefully play Blitzball, and Rikku throws grenades at anybody who utters the word, "Vegnagun."
Rikku would have been a better candidate for the main, especially if they had shit-canned all that J-Pop business. I really did not like Yuna at all in FFX and she was absolutely atrocious in the sequel. Rikku can be a bit annoying at times, but in a tolerable way. And I think that she had a personality more suited to being a freelance mercenary. She doesn't have the flat princess personality of Yuna. Nor does she have the droll, tough girl thing that Paine exudes.

Here's an idea... Rikku's magical adventure beating slutty mercenaries with a pipe-wrench.

Don't ask me to embellish on that one. It's in the infancy of development.
I would buy that. As long as she can still make them explode. Although I probably would have been even more likely to buy a game where you play as Lulu and zap Seymour Guado in the balls for refusing to die. Plus, she can set that what's his face...the Tidus look-alike douche on fire, and send her kamikaze moogles to blow Yuna up anytime she gets near a microphone.

I've actually been having fantasies of a game where the main character is Bill

This one.

But I'm primarily thinking in a situation after the zombie apocalypse, where due to his skill in both zombie killing and military tactics, the government sends him to do some dangerous job (Or preferably he decides to take it on himself) that will take him from sneaking out of his shoddy retirement home to beyond the furthest stars. With classic bits such as parachuting into a monastery in the Himalayas where evil super-powered monks have some clue as to where the evil baron von evil (Facepalm) is keeping his beloved daughter, or friend, or spouse of some description. And there'd be sections where he calls on the help of a few old friends Like Louis, Francis and Zoey, and of course meets up with some old enemies, like the church guy.

Though with all this in mind, I reckon it would be cool if Valve maybe released DLC of some sort where on one of four single player campaigns you played through the backstories of the four left 4 dead characters (There's actually evidence that Bill was the first to have a run in with the witch, so that could be interesting).

Peach, the point of it is to see how much shit you can get into before mario saves you.
Or maybe a game where you're bowser and just sit at the end of the level until mario gets to you, and maybe throw a few billion hammers at him and make him try again.

Clearly, there needs to be a puzzle-making RPG where you play as Glados and systematically kill a bunch of test subjects with your puzzles.

There can even be a music-making minigame.
Marry me?

Extra points for every second you can stand on Dive Rock without being shot, pushed, slashed, chased or fireballed off the edge.

How about The Plumber of R&C fame? His constant appearances surely cannot be coincidential!

Or Gman. Awesome.

Or the game where you play as the infamous Concrete Donkey.

The Arbiter needs his own game, he was easily the most interesting character in the Halo series and his addition to Halo 2 was the work of genius, it was intriguing, original and most importantly it humanised the Covenant. Having a game based solely on his story and maybe the story of a few other elites as well would do wonders, have him allied with the humans and earning their contempt despite being valiant and honourable, show him rallying the respect and cause of the elites who had once declared him a heretic.... seriously this guy deserves a fully decked out and decent game.

It's times like this that I wish I had some kind of ability to draw. Because I have a great mental image of Rikku cheerfully bludgeoning Leblanc's head into giblets with a pipe-wrench. Drawing Shuyin being launched into the sky, "Team Rocket" style, while being assaulted by incendiary moogles would also be a humorous image. Especially as Lulu looks on muttering a single word under her breath.

"Loser..."
I want it.

Something in the universe therefore has to make this happen.

Are you tired of seeing main characters hog all the spotlight in games? They always seem to have the same basic story and therefore becomes dull. However, sometimes companies create games for the secondary characters. (Luigi, Wario, Shadow the Lazy-Sonic-Team-writers-Hog, Chun-li, etc.)

Now even though many people will argue whether or not a game for a secondary character is good the question is what video game character do you think deserves its own game and why?

My Top 3 Choices: Meta Knight, Knuckles & Chaotix, and Wario & Waluigi.

My reasons: Each one of them has a deep story and character. Especially a NEW Knuckles & Chaotix b/c they're background stories have remained the same and interesting while Sonic team can't give their Fast Blue Failure a scenario and stick to it. Wario & Waluigi would be nice to see together in their own platforming adventure.

What about you?
While I agree about Knuckles and the Chaotix (Espio should have his own ninja game, that has a lot of room for story seeing as how he's never really mentioned) but I disagree with the Sonic failure part. Anyway, back to the topic, Bowser could use a game where he actually wins at something, not against Mario but maybe give Bowser a king rival with their own army and such.

Luigi and those guys from the tutorial from Dungeons & Dragons Online, cant rememeber all their names but i do remember Jeets Shimus the Irish/Australian Halfing, i especially loved his epic line: "Brilliant! Tidy lasses and pints up the wazoo, here i come!"
