More clues:

40.  This tower defense game on the PS3 seems to make fun of its own graphics
39.  This tactical RPG from Sega was probably inspired by Fire Emblem, but it was released in North America several years before we saw our first Fire Emblem game.
38.  The biggest surprise in this game comes after you've already won.

I think #39 is Shining Force.

Correct! 

Now for some more clues:
40.  a.This tower defense game on the PS3 seems to make fun of its own graphics.
b.  This downloadable game got some notoriety on the PS3 mostly because it was released before the PS3 had many exclusives.

39..  (guessed by Landale_Star)

38.  a. The biggest surprise in this game comes after you've already won
b.  This "surprise"  I just mentioned is not much of a spoiler nowadays.  The thing that was revealed is now so well known that younger gamers may not even realize this was ever a secret.

37.  The gameplay for this SNES entry  is more like the Arcade's version than the NES version.

36.  This game recently got a sequel released as a free download.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.

37: Super Ghouls and Ghosts?

36: Undertale? Don’t know anything about a sequel or it’s soundtrack though only that it has primitive graphics.

I'll start giving hints for my games too.

#39
- A Holy Game
- Set in a Port.
- Known for over the top wackiness and immaturity
- The ending is presidential

#38

- Get assaulted by tree branches and rocks.
- Endurance is needed to survive this storm.
- Why isn't she called the Storm Queen?

#37
- Remember kids, drugs make you see aliens.
- Fame or Shame?

#36
- Now that's a tree.

#39 is Saints Row. I'm not sure which one. I think in IV you become president, so probably that one.

Technically it's saints row 3, but as no one else guessed I'll give you it! Hints apply to both apart from the last one. Saints row 3 ends with you falling into the oval office, so then you are president at the start of IV.

Okay second hint. Literally everyone knows this;

#39: Playing this game through a certain add-on for a console gives it a nice blue tint.

Hint 2: It’s companion game got a differently colored tint when doing this same thing, but it’s successors didn’t need it anymore because they had colors of their own.

Pokemon Blue?

I've never used a Super Gameboy but I'm assuming that's the add-on.

See? Pokemon Blue is right, and so is the Super GameBoy.
