Last set of clues before a reveal:
Gooner is basically right on 1) - change one word and you've got the title. That word may or may not have something to do with the name of a competing console...
6) If you look very closely at the image you might see the character resembles someone who has also appeared in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and in a movie with The Rock.
8) Again, Gooner's clue can help you out here - it's not debut manager, but managers making their debut are often employed in this role. Bryan Robson at Middlesbrough would be another example and while we haven't had one in the Premier League as a permanent boss for a while, it might also apply to Ryan Giggs in his interim role at Man United.

Right, bringing this to a head. Gooner wins by virtue of getting the first correct answer and he'll set the new one.
The remaining answers were Super Monaco Grand Prix (SEGA), Dr Who: Return to Earth (Wii), and Player Manager 2 (PC).
The clue for the Dr Who one is that if you look closely I think you can work out that it's Amy Pond that you're looking at.
Gooner, you're up when you're ready.

Too tough for me - they all look a bit modern!
Maybe a few clues?

1. The game is set in a world where people have become mutants due to a dodgy batch of an energy drink. Not even kidding.
2. A much beloved game/franchise with a third finally on it's way after more than a decade.
3. The final part in an outstanding trilogy on Nintendo consoles.
4. Known for it's great multiplayer modes, this game is a continuation of a previous "war" trilogy
5. Focus on the leg...
6. PC strategy game letting you build your own "community"
7. Believe it or not, that's the final boss in this horror game.
8. Apart from the coins in the image, it also contains the infamous "item boxes"
9. Final part of a 18 year long RPG series that started way back in 1981 on the Apple II.

OK will give them a bit more thought but will have a guess for 6) as Civilization.... V?

Right franchise, wrong number...

7) I'd go with Resident Evil 6

Street Fighter V is correct.
Resident Evil 6 is incorrect. Correct franchise though...

Time for more clues
1. Xbox One exclusive, you essentially free run throughout the city destroying mutant creatures. Very wacky game.
2. Dreamcast sequel which has gained a cult following with many wondering for years if a third would ever arrive (it was finally announced in 2015, slated for release next year).
3. The franchise started out as 2D run and shoot game that inspired the likes of Castlevania, before a complete shift to 1st person shooter.
4. Popularised the cover system now found in most third person shooters, this is the latest game in the franchise.
6. Prime mentioned the name earlier, but wrong number. The clue's in the... clue?
7. Cathe67 mentioned the name earlier, but also wrong number. The clue's in the... clue?
8. Probably a game that everyone has played, at the very least some iterationof the game. You spend most of the time on 4 wheels....
9. The title sounds very much like the first name of a Wrestler that spent a lot of time taking photos with Sonny Ono in WCW...

Okay then, 4) could be Gears of War 4 (if so, I really need to replay that game, the red armor is a total mystery to me)
And 7) Resident Evil... 7
I see what you did there, but I don't game that much...!

Correct and correct. Yeah the Red armor enemy is an early one in the game, when they're sneaking into a factory/city to get something. Can't remember the details, but they're essentially the governments robots you fight early on before the locust shit starts up again.
Prime is correct and yes, Civ VI came out in 2016.
Now... I'm hoping that perhaps the theme has come to light that might help guess the remaining games?

Are they maybe up to a Mario Kart 8?

Yes they are

OK final set of clues, hopefully will knock this one out soon.
1. Name is composed of the opposite of "Sunrise" and a word that is a "a state of great or excessive activity".
2. The name of the game is a Japanese word meaning "Spirit Tree".
3. Surprised this hasn't been guessed. Franchise is one of Nintendo's biggest. The second name in the title is a word you might call a certain administrator here on LOP...
9. Definitely the hardest to guess, you could say the Ultimate test; if you know the theme, you'll know what sequel it is.

Gonna call this:
1) Sunset OverDrive
2) Shemnue II
3) Metroid Prime 3
4) Gears of War 4 - (cathe67)
5) Street Fighter V - (For the love of Terry Funk)
6) Civilization VI - (Prime Time)
7) Resident Evil VII - (cathe67)
8) Mario Kart 8 - (Prime Time)
9) Ultima IX
The theme was that each game was the last one released for their "main" series franchise. And also that each one is linked to their position on the list.

Oh... I assumed Metroid Prime must have been the third game, not that there were three of them. Stupid of me really, given the pattern was already clear.

Well, you certainly got the closest so I'd be willing give you the win overall.
Yeah Metroid Prime 1 and 2 on the GC, the final one on the Wii. Honestly, they're so good I still play them at least once a year. Severely underrated games.
