Still a lot of unguessed clues - final go round for these. Tried to make them a bit easier now.

46 (incorrect guesses - Psychonauts)
- The playable character has the ability to enter people's dreams
- This was sort of like the PS1’s answer to classic Zelda.
- The NTSC version was simply titled after the protagonist. The European version added The Adventures of... to the title.

45
- You end up trying to solve everyone's problems whilst trying to solve your own.
- Both this title and its sequel took advantage of the features of the (incredibly successful) hardware it was released on - you even have to hold the handheld console like a book, allowing the dual screens to enhance the visual novel aspect of the game.
- This is named after the establishment where your character, a former detective turned salesman, stays for the duration of the game.

42
- Pink or blue - you will see one of these colours when you complete a level. It represents the colour of the clothing of the character you completed the level with.
- The two playable characters from the first game in the series must be saved.
- The final part in a popular trilogy of platformers released on 4th gen platform. It would be almost 15 years before another game bearing this name was released (which was made by a different developer)

40 (incorrect guesses - Banjo-Tooie)
- Obtaining the collectibles in this direct sequel is not quite as frustrating as the first game in the series.
- The playable marsupial was something of a mascot at the time for the hardware manufacturer, with it being their first console.
- This game introduced the sister of the main character, who then became playable in the following game.

39 (incorrect guesses - Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge)
- In some regions, this game had the same title as two other games in this well known series. In other regions, it had a subtitle.
- This game was re-released for modern consoles in a collection with two others from the same series. All three were first released on the same piece of hardware.
- This was initially a whip cracking launch title for a popular handheld.

38
- This sequel introduces multiple new enemies, but only one new weapon (and even then, it’s sort of an upgrade to an existing weapon).
- One of those new enemies can revive other fallen foes
- This FPS sequel to one of the most influential games of all time abandons the episodic nature of its predecessor.

#42 is DKC 3.
#40 is Crash Bandicoot 2.

Sorry but that's the only ones I could help you with.

Correct on both my raccoon friend - glad to have scratched a few off the list
