I'm surprised that no one has mention metroid. metroid prime pinball on the nintendo ds was actually pretty darn good and with samus being able to roll into a ball, it's basically screams 'pinball!'
a tactics style (FF or otherwise) pinball could be really cool as well. shoot something to start a battle (on the dmd) and you have to make a number of lit shots within a specified time frame to dole out the damage. making all of the lit shots and then one extra differently lit shot would allow your character to execute a special attack.
