Unfortunately, Celery and Edmond, #36 is not Xenogears. #36 is an entry in a fairly prominent RPG series, one that started in 16-bit era and is still ongoing.
Guessing #38 was mostly plain dumb luck; I kept thinking things like Rumble Roses or DoA, stuff like that.

It looks like there's still some to be guessed but I'll go ahead and give my clues before I forget.
#40 - If you're traveling to the USA, you can't just visit New York City. You should visit places all over the country. And what's that button up there for? Time to swing into action! What? Game Over? Talk about a buzz kill!
#41 - Aaaannnnddd, we've drifted out to sea again! I thought you were supposed to be brilliant, but putting me in charge was about the stupidest thing you could have done.

Time for another hint. #36 has a very...musical title.

And Scissor wins a cookie for #36; it is indeed Tales of Symphonia.

Almost a week without any guesses. Perhaps I should give some hints?

Probably. Admittedly my memory has been failing me lately but neither of the two descriptions are ringing a bell.
This has to be Ninja Gaiden (arcade).
You got it!
I thought the reference to the button on top the joystick so you can swing into things would be a giveaway, at least to anyone who's played the arcade game. And of course the clue about the infamous buzzsaw continue scene.

#42 - Downloadable title demonstrates the dangers of overeating, the wisdom of taking everything one step at a time, the difficult plight of the color-blind, and the truth of the proverb "You can't take it with you".
Is #42 Fat Princess?
Not Fat Princess, no. It's a much older game than that.
I'm tempted to say The Crooked Man but nobody in that game has an overeating issue.
Is it an RPG Maker game?
.... also, sorry I basically dropped out of sight here and elsewhere. I basically just got bored of the internet, and there had been constant thunderstorms as well. I wound up playing a lot of Civilization II, conquering the world as the Romans and thanking my lucky stars that at no point was I opposed by a small village of plucky Gauls with magic potions. That's not an entry in this guessing game but feel free to point out the reference if you like.
I am however starting to think that the clues are getting a bit too obscure though, but I'm not sure what rule or guideline to put in place to change the course that wouldn't make the game entirely pointless. The only thing I can think of is a lot of clues seem to be focusing on very minute portions of a game rather than major elements, which can easily be misleading. But even then its hard to think of a guideline that couldn't potentially be contradictory or self-defeating.
Nope. This is a game for a 16-bit console.
