The results of the "NES Reunion Poll" 14th "What's Your Password? The results of the 14th "NES People's Poll" have been announced, and the top 20 are now available on the NES 40th Anniversary Campaign website! The word "password" comes in a variety of forms, but it seems that many of the passwords that require the input of a string of characters have been ranked in the top 20.

Among them, " Dragon Quest II: Gods of the Evil Spirits " took first place with 48.8% of the votes, almost half of the total! This is overwhelming! Like "Dragon Quest" in second place, the password "Fukkatsu no Jumon" has a large number of characters because it is an RPG, and it was difficult to take notes and input the password, so it must have left a strong impression in people's memories. And because of the large number of letters, it must have happened more than once or twice that I made a mistake and had to take it back! It's a bit disconcerting, isn't it?

Many of the ranked titles have well-known passwords, such as " Yute ima ookimu " from " Dragon Quest " (No. 2) and " tokyo to taitokko magataban..." from " Saint Seiya Golden Legend " (No. 6). I am sure that everyone has typed in "Saint Seiya: The Golden Legend" at least once, right? I was too young to be able to complete "Saint Seiya: The Golden Legend," and even then I was unable to complete the game. Dragon Quest III: And to the Legend" came in at No. 10, but from this title, it is possible to save the game to the "Book of Adventure" via battery backup... I'd like to hear the reasons from those who voted for this title!

By the way, "Konami Wai Wai World," which I voted for, came in fourth place! It was also a very difficult title, so I'm sure there were many people who finally cleared the game by playing with a favorable password. Incidentally, the password for the sequel, " Wai Wai World 2 SOS! Parsley Castle " has a puzzle type password like "quoits "! Both are masterpieces!

The 15th "What is the title of the game with only Kanji characters? Voting has started!

The 14th puzzle championship has ended, which means the 15th puzzle championship has started. Voting for the 15th "NES Referendum" will start on October 19, 2023 (Thursday)! The theme of this year's poll is "What is the title of the game with only Chinese characters? The theme of this year's poll is "What is the title of a game with only Chinese characters?

There are many Famicom software titles, and there are as many titles as there are Famicom software titles, but when it comes to "only kanji characters," I think we can narrow it down pretty well. When you hear the phrase "only kanji," you may think of titles with a Japanese theme, but that is not all! Think back carefully and cast a clean vote for the title named only with kanji that you have a strong emotional attachment to! Once again, you can cast your vote from the "NES National Vote" page on the campaign website after logging in to your Nintendo account. If you forget the title of the game, don't worry, you can enter a part of the title to get a list of candidates.

The voting period for the 15th "NES Referendum" is until October 25, 2023 (Wed.) at 11:59 p.m., and the results will be announced on October 26, 2023 (Thu. )! I voted for " Yokai Dochuki " because I was fascinated by its unique worldview! The first difficulty was to avoid getting into the "Dice Dojo" right after the start of the game!
