Legendary Beginnings takes first place! The 25th "NES People's Poll": What do you think of "Dragon/Dragon/Dragon"? Results announced!

The year 2024, which seemed to have just begun, is already in mid-January. Many people may have taken a long holiday during this year-end and New Year holidays due to the calendar, but why does the time pass so quickly on holidays? It is a mystery. While there is a lot of fun to be had, the holiday season is also a time when TV specials are all over the place and regular programs are cancelled, and the weekly magazines to which we subscribe are merged into a single issue, leaving us with little time to enjoy our daily activities. Last year, the " NES Referendum, " which was held every week, had a two-week voting period, longer than the usual one-week period, because of the year-end and New Year holidays. On the other hand, since we had two weeks to vote, I think we were able to think carefully about which titles to vote for! The results of the 25th "What do you think of dragons/dragons? The results of the 25th "What do you think of dragons?

The results of the 25th "NES People's Poll" "What do you think of dragons? The results of the "Famicom National Poll" have been announced, and the top 20 are now available on the Famicom 40th Anniversary Campaign website! Dragons are symbolic among legendary creatures, and many of them have been the subject of works or appeared in works, so many people must have had a hard time deciding which one to vote for. Among the many titles, the first place in 2024 went to " Dragon Quest " with 29% of the votes! Although it did not win the "Hanbun of the world" award, it received nearly 30% of the total number of votes! This is understandable since the first title in the "Dragon Quest" series, which has released many titles both in the numbering series and in the external series, has been followed by " Dragon Quest III: And to the Legend..." in third place,"Dragon Quest II: Gods of Evil Spirits " in 13th place, and "Dragon Quest II: The Legendof the Gods " in 15th place. In addition, "Dragon Quest II: The Gods of Evil Spirits" came in at No. 13, "Dragon Quest II: The Legend " at No. 13, and "Dragon Quest IV: The Leaders" at No. 15, all numbered titles on the NES! The total percentage of votes for the series is 40.3%, so the "DRAGON QUEST" series can be said to be No. 1 this time! In addition to the "Dragon Quest" series, the "Double Dragon" series and the"Fist of the Flying Dragon" series were also ranked in the top 20, and even though the votes were split, they were still very popular and ranked in the top 20. By the way, "Dragon Buster," which I voted for, came in second place! For those of you who, like me, were unable to clear the game at the time, be sure to check out Memekurage 's (@memedesu05 ) run at the " RTA in Japan Summer 2023 " held last year!

The first results of 2024 have been announced, which means that the first voting theme of 2024 has been announced. Voting for the 26th "NES Reunion Vote" will begin on January 11, 2024 (Thursday)! The theme for this year's poll is "What do you think of "Harmony "? The theme this time is "What do you think of 'Harmony'? The problem with this year's theme is that the announced theme is "Wa", which means "harmony" and is not limited to a specific reading. The kanji can be read not only as " wa, " meaning "Japanese style," but also as " soothing " or " relaxing," so the direction will change depending on how you read it. The NES has titles that are "wa" (harmony), "wa-mu" (harmony), and "wa-relaxed" (relaxation), so no matter how you read it, there should be a title that you can vote for! Decide how you perceive "harmony" and cast a clean vote! Again, you can 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 and a list of candidates will appear. The voting period for the 26th "NES People's Vote" will be open for another week, until 11:59 a.m. on January 17, 2024 (Wednesday ), and the results will be announced on January 18, 2024 (Thursday )! I voted for "ikki," a legendary game that was revived in 2024 as "ikki-unity" ( a compliment ), because I thought it was Japanese-style "wa" (harmony)! A revolt is not something one or two people can do!
