The results of the "NES National Poll" 26th "What do you think of 'Japanese'? 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 one might expect, many people thought of the Japanese word "wa" (harmony), and many Japanese-style titles were ranked in the top 20. Among them, " Gambare Goemon! Karakuri Douchu," which received 16.6% of the votes! This is the first title in Konami's "Ganbare Goemon" series, which later became a very popular series, and "Goemon" is also the face of Konami. Goemon is also the face of Konami, and of course he appears in Konami 's all-star game " Konami Wai Wai World. In addition to the characters and gameplay, the music is also well-known for its "Japanese" feel and its wonderful, memorable soundtrack. The title " Momotaro Densetsu PEACHBOY LEGEND " (No. 3), " Tsuki Fuuma Den " (No. 6), " Genpei Umaiden " (No. 7), and many other titles were written in Kanji characters. The 15th "Titles with Only Kanji Characters"? The most notable among the titles ranked in the "Titles with only Kanji characters" category is "Getsu Fuuma Den" (No. 6) and "Genpei Uzumaden" (No. 7). The most notable among the ranked games is " Donkey Kong JR.'s math game " (No. 19)! The answer to addition is called "sum," so this title definitely fits the theme of this year's contest! By the way, "Ikki," which I voted for, came in fourth place! If you have not yet played this game and are interested in it, please do so without any knowledge of the game if possible!

If you think "Japanese", this is the next one! What do you think of "Western"? Let the voting begin!

The 26th contest is over, which means that the 27th contest has begun. Voting for the 27th "NES Referendum" will begin on January 18, 2024 (Thursday)! The theme of this year's poll is "What do you think of the word "Western"? The theme this time is "What do you think of "Western" games? It is only natural that the theme of this year's poll is "Western" when the theme is "Japanese"! I have a feeling that many Western-style titles will be ranked in this year's poll. However, I have a feeling that many Western-style titles will be ranked in this year's list! However, the choices will expand greatly depending on how you view the "Western" category, like "Donkey Kong JR.'s Math Fun" in the "Japanese" category! From among the many "Western" titles that come to mind, cast a clean vote for the one you feel the most attached to! You can vote again this year by logging in to your Nintendo account, and casting your vote from the "NES National Vote" page on the campaign website. 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 Referendum" is until 11:59 a.m. on Wednesday, January 24, 2024, and the results will be announced on Thursday, January 25, 2024! I was going to vote for " Castlevania: The Legend of Castlevania," which has a dark "Western" feel, but at the time it was too difficult for me to complete the game, so I voted for a more casual game, " Castlevania: Castlevania: Boku Dracula-kun "! The GB version is fun too!
