Still some games remain unguessed. I'll add a hint for each once again.

#14: Lot of weird people in the Jungles of the Soviet Union. There can be only one Boss.

#13: Many kings have come and gone, one succumbed to poison, another to flame, still another sleeps under a city encased in ice, and for each king a queen appeared, a fragment of the soul of the first man, all searching for purpose. Many kingdoms have come and gone, but this one was called Drangleic.

#11: A fungus-based apocalypse. A man who lost his daughter finds a new purpose in life travelling alongside and protecting another young girl.

#11: the Last of Us?

Correct.

This game was really a lot of fun and I broke the left shoulder button on my first 3DS for this game. The basic setup is simple. You have multiple levels playing as Pit, you shoot the underworld army. Each level has three sequences. First you fly more or less on rails, although you can dodge in certain area. Then you go on further on foot and finally you beat a boss. But the game has so many variations to this simple recipe, it never stops being interesting.

Another thing is, that there is constant talking in the game. The gods and mystic beings can talk telepatically, so in most levels you talk all the way with the final boss of the level, or some god overseeing the final boss, or both, or a lot of people. Most make fun of Pit. And this constant banter makes all so much more enjoyable.

As a game from Masahiro Sakurai, it is full with content. Each level of the single player campaign can be replayed. You can choose your difficulty by betting hearts (sort of a game currency). Some areas in the levels are only accessible in higher difficulty. You can play it to get more loot, especially weapons. This game has so many different weapons. Also you have online multiplayer.

This is one of the gems of the 3DS-library, which makes the 3DS such an outstanding gaming device. Don't miss this game.

Come on guys, just a few more before my next full-page game posting dump.

#17 - The only game in this long-running and highly successful franchise to break the norm and feature a different ending from the other entries.
It's also the only game to ditch all of the "content" from previous entries, forcing you to try new stuff until the post-game, when it finally opens up.

Pokémon Black & White?

#24 - This 90's game's terrible voice acting is as infamous as it is beloved.
The prologue features particularly notable dialogue, some of which has been reused this year in a trailer for another game.
Said prologue involved the playable character from this series' previous game, and a widely recognizable mainstream character. However, neither would go on to be the main playable character for the rest of the game.

#22 - Shortly after fighting yourself, you fight the Statue of Liberty. I'm also getting into quite the spoilery territory here... oh well.
It's a shooter game, and the spoiler stuff above is from a DLC campaign.
There was an event in this game just recently, but no one cared because they were too busy playing Smash.

#18 - There's a light and dark world, three temples and several keys you have to collect to unlock each. No, it's not a Zelda game.
Unlike its predecessor and successor, this one ends on an escape sequence.

I'm not sure what MP2 means here, anyway. Neither Mario Party 2 or Metroid Prime 2 fit the description since they obviously wouldn't have DLC... is there a game actually called MP2? In any case, yeah, that's not it... though I would have given you the guess if your post was only slightly different.

Opps I meant #18 with the light and dark

Metroid Prime 2

There should be people that can guess this game;

#14: It's too bad the remake of this one coming next year doesn't include the second game.
Hint 2: Because I’d love to play the second adventure of this boney fellow. I missed it back then, all I know is that instead of a fantastical version of the middle ages in the first game I played, the second one takes place during the Victorian era after a 500 year slumber.

MediEvil. Bony Fellow was a pretty good hint here.
