With the " Tokyo Game Show 2023 " just around the corner, we are hearing a lot of talk about the latest games. I, as a child of the "ARAFOR" generation, have been playing games ever since I can remember, and I can still enjoy the latest games and get excited about the latest information even at my age, which really shows the great power of games. It goes without saying that the latest games are great, but in recent years there has been a resurgence in the popularity of retro games in particular, and with 2023 marking the 40th anniversary of the F amicom (NES), there is a renewed interest in the classics of the Famicom (NES).

The results of the "NES People's Poll" 9th "What was the best BGM? The results of the "NES National Poll" have been announced, and the top 20 are now available on the NES 40th Anniversary Campaign website! The results are so famous and full of great songs that just by looking at the ranked titles, the BGMs in the games start playing in your head.


The first place went to " Dragon Quest III: And to the Legend...," but with 9.2% of the votes, it seems that the votes were not concentrated at the top as in the past, but were spread out quite evenly among the respondents. Everyone seems to have their own favorite BGM. The " Dragon Quest" series from Enix (now Square Enix) had all four of the Famicom's numbered titles, Konami's "Castlevania" series had two titles, and Capcom's "Mega Man" and " quot;Mega Man" were all ranked in the top ten. quot;Mega Man" series also ranked in the list with two titles. The Air Man stage of "ROCKMAN2: The Mystery of Dr. Wiley" was a hot topic on a video sharing site. Gradius," which I voted for, was ranked 25th with 0.9% of the votes! There were 484 titles voted for in this year's contest, so I guess the votes were spread out.

The 9th contest is over, which means that the 10th contest has begun. Voting for the 10th "Famicom National Vote" will begin on September 14, 2023 (Thursday)! The theme of this year's poll is "What do you think of adventure games? The theme this time is "What do you think of adventure games?


It is difficult to draw a line between "adventure games" and other game genres, but if a title calls itself an "adventure game", it is definitely an "adventure game", and I think it is fine if it is a title that I think is an "adventure game". I think it's OK to use any title that you think so. The Famicom (NES) is a console with deep pockets, so please cast a clean vote for a title that you have a strong emotional attachment to!


Again, you can vote for your favorite title 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 and a list of candidates will appear. The voting period for the 10th "NES Reunion Vote" is until September 20, 2023 (Wed.) at 11:59 p.m., and the results will be announced on September 21, 2023 (Thu. )! The author did not expect to see a back and forth on the Famicom! I voted for " Fumikon Mukashi Hanashi Shin Onikeshima "!
