I'm going with 2 new hints:

#42: This IP first popularized a sub-genre, some years later caused a serious decline in it for some time (becoming the paradigm of another one) and eventually, with this game, contributed largely to its resurgence.

# 41: This game belong to a series with many spin-offs, one of which, certainly the most successful one, was launched the year which appears in this game title.

42: New Super Mario Bros.? Not sure though.

Yes!

#44 Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves

Sly 3 was in my opinion the best in the original trilogy developer by Sucker Punch, taking the formula from the previous two titles and improving on it in many small ways. The stealth platforming gameplay is a lot of fun, and the story is surprisingly good and memorable. The series has often been sadly overlooked in favour of Naughty Dog's Jak and Daxter, and Insomniac's Ratchet & Clank, but in my opinion Sly Cooper is just as good as them.

Hint for #43:

A Nintendo SNES title from one of their biggest franchises. Features a famous easter egg room named after a fan who won a contest for it.

Time for hint 43:

This horror game features two characters who have to work together in order to survive and just... escape. After their escape, they were never heard from again.... Well, except maybe one has a VEEERY brief moment in the next game.
