Before you know it, November of 2023 will be around the corner. There is less than a month and a half left in this year. As the saying goes, "time flies like an arrow," but when I look back on the events of 2023, I realize that they may not have happened as quickly as I thought. One of the most important events of 2023 is the 40th anniversary of Nintendo's first cassette-type home video game console, the " Family Computer" (NES), on Saturday, July 15, 2023! Various projects are being carried out to commemorate the 40th anniversary, and on November 16, 2023 (Thursday), the fifth episode of " NES Talk Shop: Kobayashi-Toy Store " will be released, so many of you have probably already watched it. Among these projects, the " Famicom People's Poll " is held every week and has been very popular! The "NES Reunion Poll" is held every week with various themes, and the results of the 18th "What is the title of a 5-letter word? The results of the "NES Referendum" have been announced!
There are many masterpieces among the 5-letter titles! The results of the 18th contest have been announced!
The results of the 18th "NES People's Poll", "What is the title with 5 letters? The results of the "NES National Poll" have been announced, and the top 20 titles are now available on the NES 40th Anniversary Campaign website! Many people may have had a hard time deciding which titles to vote for because of the five-letter word limit, but when we looked at the results, we found that they were all classics that everyone knows! Is it possible that there is a rule that most of the best works have five letters? The first place winner was " Metroid," the first in a popular series that continues to this day, with 17% of the vote! Of course, there are stand-alone works, but I think that many of them are unbranded works that have become popular series since then.
By the way, " Goonies," which I voted for, came in 4th place! Everyone loves Mikey! ROCKMAN " (No. 8), " Salamander " (No. 17), and " Makai-mura " (No. 18) should be included in the list because of their five-letter readings! No. 19 "The Legend of Momotaro: PEACHBOY LEGEND " is also good, since many people may have forgotten that it was called "PEACHBOY LEGEND!

I am a fan of "tag team" and this is what I would choose! I voted for the " Kinnikuman Muscle Tag Team Match! At the time, it was famous for a plan that would be unthinkable today, whereby the winner of the tournament would receive a gold cassette in which the superhero of his/her choice was replaced with an existing superhero!
