I suppose I'll have to add more hints since nobody made a guess. These games are a bit more obscure to be fair.

50) Pyrite Town

Shadow is not a type in this series but it is an important mechanic in this game

49) You can power-up your power-ups in this old school racer

A fully powered speed boost will make you teleport forward on the track through a worm hole which as expected is completly busted

48) This licensed property is more known for its fighting games, but this one is a turn-based card game

You can spend your turn powering up

47) Now this is how you control a platformer

All you need is two buttons and a sound sensor

46) Everybody knows you're only wanted as long as there are signs proclaiming it

Spin to win

Marvel's Midnight Suns? No idea about the others.

Some extra hints too:

50. Welcome to the family, son. The residents of this house are evil.

49. The 10th entry of a deadly series. Mortal Kombat X

48. I never asked for this. There's a revolution of sorts in this game. A human one.

47. This Capcom title began development as another franchise's game. It became a devilish franchise.

46. You have lost your honor in this immersive sim. You're an assassin.

Change YoY: -4   My Rating: 9.0 / 10

I never actually got around to playing the first two Suikoden games when they were first released back in the 90s, I honestly probably wasn't even aware they were a thing until much later in life. Over the years I began hearing a lot of people talk about them in reverence, as these masterpieces of their genre, with Suikoden II often singled out for particular praise among fans of the series. However, getting my hands on a copy proved very difficult, as the game had originally had a very limited run in the west, and as such the title had become exceedingly rare. My chance to give them a try finally came about a decade a go now, when I saw that they had both been released on the PS Store, so I decided to do just that. I certainly liked the first game well enough, but it was the second entry in the series that truly stood out to me, as it had done to so many others before me.

There was simply something different about Suikoden II, and in particular the story of the game, the heavy political overtones weaved in with the story of war and struggle against a superior opponent, centered around a pair of friends stuck in opposite sides of the conflict and rising in the ranks of each respective army was all expertly handled, to the extent that very few games since have surpassed it in that particular department. Of course, that wouldn't matter without good writing, and Suikoden II has that in spades, alongside a genuinely despicable villain, a great music score by Miki Higashino, and visuals that still hold up remarkably well thanks to the developers decision to use sprites rather than rely on early 3D models. It's an excellent game, and one of the finest examples of its genre both at the time and still today. It's also one I should try to replay one of these days, if I can only find the time for it. Perhaps the upcoming remaster gives me an excuse to finally get to it.

#48 - Mario Kart Wii (Wii)

This is a very good Mario Kart game. I still love to play it sometimes. Unfortunately, I'm a single-player guy, so it doesn't have a lot of content for one player. But still, my mom also loves it, so we can play it together when we have time. It's a huge improvement over Mario Kart 64, our previous MK title.

How do you keep the official thread alive and on the front page when we are only allowed to post once?

The official thread doesn't need to be on the front page, it's just a place we go to edit our official lists, so it's more of an "archive", not an active thread like this one. It's always linked in the OP of this thread too, so that makes it easy to access.

Sorry the late reply.

49 - Right on

48 - Correct

47 - Exactly

41 - Yes

48. VVVVVV (3DS/PC)

VVVVVV is a platformer game where, instead of jumping, you flip gravity back and forth between pulling towards the top or bottom of the screen. In a way, the game is pretty barebones. Sure, there is a world to explore, but no attack options, no power ups, and no real enemies besides the thousands of deadly spikes littering the world.

Instead, what VVVVVV does is uses its new premise to create a set of new platforming conventions. Players will learn to fluently bounce between collapsing platforms, weave between objects flying in opposite directions, preserve their momentum as they rush through autoscroller sections. All of this is built on a foundation of intuitive mechanics, clear level design, Veni Vidi Vici, and a generous number of checkpoints.

Also, the soundtrack is a cult classic.
