February has arrived in the year 2024, and even though we had a New Year's holiday in January, time flies when you think that 1/12 of the year is already over. It is said that this winter will be mild, and since we have passed the "big cold" on the calendar, one would think that the weather would warm up early, but the temperature in the Kanto area is expected to drop, and there is a possibility of snow by the end of the week. No matter how much winter protection you have taken, it is easy to get sick when it gets cold, and it is best to stay in a warm room unless you have something to do that you can't miss. The best accompaniment to home time is a game! New titles are being released all the time, but it is retro games that remain the most popular and interesting among them. The console that has released many such retro games is the Famicom (NES). The NES is currently celebrating its 40th anniversary, and many projects are underway, but one of the highlights of each week is the " NES National Poll! This week, the results of the 28th "What do you think of "NES"? The results of the 28th "What do you think of "Medium"?
There is such a "middle"! The 28th results are in!
The results of the "NES People's Vote" 28th "What do you think of the "middle"? The results of the "NES National Poll" have been announced, and the top 20 are now available on the NES 40th Anniversary Campaign website!
As in the previous "Japanese" and "Western" polls, many Chinese-style titles were ranked in the top 20, but the winner of the fierce competition was " Super Chinese " with 15.9% of the votes! The winner was "Super Chinese" with 15.9% of the votes! The second place went to " Yi-Al Kung Fu " with 13.9% of the vote, followed by " Mahjong " with 10.8% of the vote. Incidentally, the winner of the " Toushou! Ramen Man: Bursting Superhuman 102 Arts " came in fourth place with 10.4% of the votes cast! The character "Chu" on the forehead is the same for all generations!
And this time, too, there are some twisted "middle" titles on the list, such as "Donkey Kong JR.'s Math Game" for "Wa" and "Yosuke Ide Meijin's Real Mahjong" for "Yo". Among them, " Door Door " ranked 6th in the list! The game is about trapping monsters in a door, but it also seems to have received votes because it was created by Koichi "Naka" Mura, the game creator who later created the "Tragon Quest" series. The title also has "Naka" in the title. Other titles with the word "Naka" in the title also made the list, including "Idol Hotline: Miho Nakayama 's Tokimeki High School" and "Detective Jinguji Saburo: Shinjuku Chuo Park Murder Case. fans!
Setsubun is coming soon! What do you think of "Oni"? Polls are now open!
The 28th contest is over, which means that the 29th contest has begun. Voting for the 29th "NES Referendum" started on February 1, 2024 (Thursday)! The theme of this year's poll is "What do you think of the word " Oni"? The theme of this year's poll is "What do you think of 'ogres'?
February 3 is "Setsubun," an event (*my interpretation) in which we beat ogres by hitting them with blessed beans, so the timing is perfect for the theme of "What do you think of ogres? This is the perfect timing for the theme of "What do you think of ogres? In Japan, the direction of the ox and tiger is the demon's gate, and ogres have a strong image of wearing ox horns and tiger-print pants, but vampires are also ogres, and of course any title with the word "ogre" in it can be used without being restricted to the existence of "ogre". It is also possible! Please cast your vote for the title that you feel the most strongly about, which is related to the word "ogre!
Again, you can vote from the "NES National Vote" page on the campaign site 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 and a list of candidates will appear. The voting period for the 29th "NES Referendum" will end on February 7, 2024 (Wed.) at 11:59 p.m., and the results will be announced on February 8, 2024 (Thu. )!
I voted for " Fumikon Mukashi Hanashi Shin Onikeshima" (Fumikon Mukashi Tale: New Onikeshima ), which is a disk system! It's a lot of fun, but the controls are not what you'd call friendly nowadays, so I recommend the Super NES version! The original version will also be included!
