The top two are overwhelming! The 16th "NES People's Poll" - What do you think of "ghosts"? Results!

The year 2023 has turned into autumn since the beginning of November. The days seem to be very comfortable, but even though it is now November, Tokyo and other cities are experiencing unusually warm weather with high temperatures exceeding 25 degrees Celsius in summer. However, the mornings and evenings are cold and it is easy to get sick, so if possible, it is best to stay at home with a temperature that suits you! And speaking of house time toys, games are the best way to spend time at home! The latest games are of course popular, but retro games have always been popular as well, especially since 2023 is the 40th anniversary of the Famicom (NES), and classic NES titles are in the limelight. And one of the topics of conversation about the NES classics is the " NES Referendum! The poll is based on themes that transcend game genres, so even within the same theme, we are reminded of games from a variety of genres, and we really look forward to the announcement of the results each week. The results of the 16th annual "What do you think of ghosts?

The results of the 16th " NES National Poll" "What do you think of ghosts? 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 top vote-getter was " Obake no Q-taro One One Panic," which I also voted for! It was the clear winner with 37.9% of the votes cast! It is famous for its high difficulty level, and the word " Obake" is in the title, so it must have been the first thing that came to mind for many people like me who couldn't get it out of their minds. The second place was " Spelunker," in which a ghost appears as the next threat after the main character's weakness, which is the biggest enemy . The fact that it is depicted on the package is also easy to imagine. Considering that the top two alone received 58.8% of the votes, which is the majority of the total, it must be that both games, coupled with their high difficulty level, left a strong impression on many people. I still don't think I can clear it! GeGeGe no Kitaro: Yokai Daimakyo " came in at No. 5, and I debated whether to vote for it or not, but "ghost" and "monster" seem a bit different.... But I guess "ghost" and "yokai" are in the same group on a global scale! By the way, "Gegege no Kitaro: Yokai Daimakyo" is also quite challenging!

I voted for " Super Momotaro Dentetsu " from the "Momotaro Dentetsu" series, a milestone in backgammon games that is still a big hit every time a new version is released! I played this one more than the first one. Now it is even used as a teaching material as "Momotaro Dentetsu Educational Lite - Japan is interesting! ～Many people say they learned about Japanese geography and specialties from Momotetsu, so it's appropriate that the theme of the game is "I learned a lot!
