OK, some more clues:

#50 - Brothers on a small screen make for a sales juggernaut.

#46 - This 1980s classic was recently remastered/remade, although not to much fanfare. The remake was official but developed basically by a team of fan developers who named their company after a core part of the game.

#45 - The name of this game suggests there aren't many people left alive, although you certainly encounter a lot of them.

50: Has to be a Mario game, but on a small screen, so a handheld. Mario Land doesn’t have the word Bros in it, and the biggest sales juggernaut among them is New Super Mario Bros on DS, so NSMB?

46: I feel like I can know this, let me think some more, unless someone else knows it instead.

45: The Last of Us.

A lot was remade recently, so this is a bit difficult. Maybe The Bard's Tale?

10 years greatest game event!

bets: [peak year] [+], [1], [2], [3], [4]

Hints:

#50 - 69% chance to hit target! What could go wrong? Permanent death probably. This is the second time.

#49 - Very fast with lots of pixels! A highly definitive racer that defies physics.

#48 - In an alternate reality this game is about a red panda putting his rightful belongings into a safe.

#47 - What do you mean she's asexual and I can't romance her? How am I supposed to enjoy my time on these worlds now? Other than shoot things.

#46 - 3rd times the charm, or is it the 4th? Either way there's baddies in this city to punch and this time I brought my car. Many people wish I didn't but I did!

Nope.

I'll add slightly to the #46 clue - it was a Sega Master System title.

Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap? (remade by Lizardcube)

49 - F-Zero?

47 - Mass Effect 1, 2, 3, or Andromeda? xD

46 - Batman: Arkham Knight?

Correct on 46!, 49 is in the right ballpark. 47 is probably tricky for those that haven't played, the hint contains one of the words in the title of the game.

#47 may be The Outer Worlds then.

Some hints as to my #50

Hint 1: It will make your hands cramp.
Hint 2: The villain is immensely hilarious!
Hint 3: Probably won't be getting a sequel for another 16 years.

Kid Icarus Uprising?

Edit: Someone beat me to it. Boo. Booooo, I say!

Correct, just 50-48 left.

I see the others have been guessed, but;

50: Fire Emblem.. and then the second one.. checking.. Gaiden?

48: Sly Cooper, the opposite of a red panda that puts stuff back in safes is a thieving blue raccoon.
