I'm surprised there were no guesses. Take two.

#40 - The game's soundtrack has several fictional bands associated with the music, but the bands' names only showed up in-game if you used an accessory sold separately.
Hint 2 - It's a game centered around online multiplayer.


#39 - A remake that spawned a new character in Smash Bros.
Hint 2 - Technically, this character already existed in Smash before, but not with this outfit.


#38 - A remake heavily inspired by the one above.
Hint 2 - It was developed mostly by one person.

#39: Metroid 2: Samus Returns

#38: AM2R



Signature goes here!

Hey, San Andreas was already on the trail to Pinball Dreams, it was a close miss with Fantasies which released only months later. I think I give it to you both.

Steamworld Dig is wrong though.

I'm just amazed that I at least got DICE right.

Here are my next three hints:

#40. The hero is but a dream.

Zelda Link’s Awakening?

And yeah Pokemon Blue was already guessed, but at least you were right though.

I saw that someone got it after I posted it. 

#40, good guess but not quite. It's the opposite concept of LA.  Liquid Laser got it in the post below yours.

I am too, and Pinball Fantasies is so close, the two games were released mere months aparts from each other. Also Pinball Fantasies obviously builds strongly on the first game (and I like Fantasies too, but I like some tables on the first one in particular, which is why I prefer it).

#39. Groundhog Day, the video game, with a homage to the nuclear attack scene in Terminator 2 thrown in.

#38. Originally released in Japan in 1995 and in the US just a few months ago.

40.  Final Fantasy X?

Correct.

39.  Braid?

Nope. Hint #2: It came out the year before FFX did. What well-known game released at that time had a repeating time loop in it?

#38 a) This team searches for the missing secondary team.

b) Both teams are special forces of the local police department.

This one's gotta be the original Resident Evil.

#37

a) Child, tuck yourself in bed; And let me tell a story; Of Lemuria, a long lost kingdom; And a girl born for glory.

Child of Light?

39.  Well I never played Majora's Mask, but I am vaguely familiar with the game concept.



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

40- Another OG Xbox exclusive gem. This one is like Lord of the Rings but a strategy game.

39- This game never received a direct sequel, but its spin off sequel became one of the top games in the world.
