Already time for more hints!

35) 31 but blue

34) The first and second 3D debut of this series

33) A critical darling, but the next time these companies collaborated the result was a critical disaster

32) Reverse Kirby

31) 35 but yellow

35 - Pokemon Blue? Seems too simple though, and I think they're counted as the same game.

32 - Super Mario Odyssey maybe?

31 - Pokemon Yellow?

No new clues for 39, but reposting because I figure someone will get it...

39 (incorrect guesses - Castlevania: Rondo of Blood)
- A launch title for the first system it released on, it was sometimes criticised for having dark visuals that made it difficult to play on original hardware (subsequent hardware revisions remedied this issue). This is supposedly the reason the next game had brighter graphics.
- There are four unlockable modes, each of which give your character a boost on one specific attribute at the expense of others - magic, strength, subweapons, and luck.
- In some regions, this game shared the same name as the very first game in this series (other regions added a subtitle). Funnily enough, that first game was later released on the same system, as one of a number of classic games that were reissued.
- The most recent re-release of this game was on multiple platforms, as part of a collection with three other games from the same series.
- Your character carries one of the series’ most iconic weapons as he aims to vanquish a familiar vampiric foe.

Castlevania Circle of the Moon.

Was a bit of a puzzle.

I'm a day late for the next set technically, but I guess that's the upside of doing these five at a time. It might not matter. Here are the next batch;

#35: One of the colours is missing in my region. Guessed by UnderwaterFunktown - Pokémon Blue Version
#34: Each civilisation gets only one use of their powers with each level, except the one from the expansion. That's kind of cheating. Guessed by UnderwaterFunktown - Age of Mythology
#33: One band experienced a surge in popularity because they were featured as the end-credits song.
#32: Sometimes it reports something of use, but usually the news-ticker makes little sense.
#31: This well-known game features the first orchestral soundtrack in this series and by this company (as far as I know, to be fair). Guessed by drbunnig - Super Mario Galaxy

34. Phoenix Wright: Justice for All
I've enjoyed all the Phoenix Wright games (even Phoenix Wright vs Prof Layton which was... interesting) but my favorite is this second entry in the series. Because it had the courage to ask 'what if your client is actually guilty?' In a series built around defending the innocent that was the single best story twist they've pulled off. Especially because it isn't just a matter of 'casting sufficient doubt' to get the murderer off. In Ace Attorney universe somebody has to take the heat, so you have pin the blame on an innocent person to get away with it or an assassin working for your client will kill your friend. It pushes Phoenix's character to the brink as he uses the same tactics to frame someone that he typically uses to defend the innocent, until with the help of a friend he finally finds a way out.
It's still my favorite case in the whole series and I wish they'd have another guilty client in a future game since I think there is still more potential in the idea.

Might as well get to the next set of hints.

#30

-The most recent entry in this series, takes place at the same time as the first game in it, but in a different place and featuring a different cast of characters.

#29

-Dragon and the Mad Dog

#28

-You must wait for a day after a rainy day to enter the other world

#27

-The "End of the World" is a literal continent spanning stone wall

#26

-Joining a military school, you become a member of the only class that does not segregate commoners and the nobility

And also, both, correct!

For Pokémon, I played the Blue version.
