Lost Odyssey had a simplified "ring" system that allowed for single hits to be crits depending on how well you timed it. It didn't have combos, but it's still a pretty enjoyable system and I saw it as an homage to Dragoon.
On topic, Star Tropics is the game that usually comes to mind. It's been a while since a zelda-type game has come out that wasn't zelda, and I think this franchise still has a lot of potential with a young crowd.
Up until recently, I would have said Aliens vs Predator, but it looks like they're bringing that one back from the grave, so grins all around. The only other game I can think of at the moment is Dungeon Keeper. Where other RTS games are all about the offense, Dungeon Keeper had a malicious streak to it that allowed you to set devious traps for interlopers and then just sit back and laugh maniacally while steepling your fingers. The dark humor mixed in with the give and take of exploration versus defense was satisfying in a way few other RTS games have come close for me.
