In the Kanto region, where the weather was as pleasant as spring just a short while ago, the temperature dropped suddenly in only a few days. It rained, and in some places, it even snowed, making it hard for our bodies to keep up with the changes in temperature.
With pollen season starting to get serious, those with hay fever are likely already experiencing significant symptoms.
Your own room is a place where you can maintain a stable temperature and prevent pollen from entering. Since staying indoors and not going out means you don't have to breathe in pollen, it's nothing but good things!
When it comes to spending time at home, the best partner is video games! The game industry is always full of topics, but since July 2023, the topic of the Famicom 40th anniversary is indispensable!
On Thursday, February 22, 2024, the latest episode of "Famicom Talk Shop Kobayashi Toy Store" was also released. In addition to the familiar segments, it features quite rare content, such as the appearance of an actual Family Computer Robot unit. If you haven't seen it yet, please do!
Among the Famicom 40th anniversary projects, one of the weekly highlights is the "Famicom National Poll," which is also reviewed within "Famicom Talk Shop Kobayashi Toy Store."
The results for the 31st "What Game Had Great Packaging?" have been announced!
Great Packaging Equals a Great Game! 31st Results Announced!
The results for the 31st "What Game Had Great Packaging?" of the "Famicom National Poll" have been announced, and the top 20 rankings are available on the Famicom 40th Anniversary Campaign site!
While some images on the site are marked "NO IMAGE" due to various circumstances, if you recall the packaging images burned onto the film of your heart, you can see that all the titles that ranked have great packaging.
It goes without saying that the packaging is wonderful, and considering that the game content is also excellent, one could say that the package design is part of the work itself.
The votes seemed quite split this time, but the one that won 1st place was Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation with a vote share of 14.9%!
Everyone must have seen the front side at least once, depicting the various vocations appearing in the game standing tall! The descriptions of each vocation and the exciting promotional text on the back still make those days of adventure from back then flash back now!
With a design that is the exact opposite of the cool and information-heavy Dragon Quest III: The Seeds of Salvation, 2nd place went to MOTHER with a vote share of 5%!
The front is a very eye-catching work with a simple design consisting only of a logo on a bright red box. The game explanation on the back is also simple, and it is a superb masterpiece whose charm is understood precisely because you play it!
By the way, MOTHER is currently available on "Family Computer Nintendo Switch Online," and the sequel, EarthBound, is also available on "Super Famicom Nintendo Switch Online."
Since MOTHER 3 recently began distribution on "Game Boy Advance Nintendo Switch Online," adults, children, and even older sisters should take this opportunity! No crying until the ending, okay?
By the way, Dragon Quest IV: Chapters of the Chosen, which the author voted for, ranked high at 4th place!

Expecting a Purr-fectly Interesting Result! "What Game Reminds You of Cats?" Voting Starts!
The end of the 31st poll means that the 32nd has begun.
From Thursday, February 22, 2024, voting for the 32nd "Famicom National Poll" has started! The theme this time is "What Game Reminds You of Cats?"!
Since February 22, the day voting started, is Cat Day because it sounds like "Nyan Nyan Nyan," it is a perfectly timed theme.
Because cats are loved by many people, they appear in many games in various forms, such as being playable characters, enemy characters, or NPCs.
Especially for cat lovers, I'm sure it's impossible to narrow it down to just one title, but please cast your fair vote for the cat title you have the most feelings for!
This time as well, you can vote from the "Famicom National Poll" page on the campaign site after logging into your Nintendo Account.
Even if you happen to forget the title, don't worry, as suggestions will appear if you enter part of the title.
The voting period for the 32nd "Famicom National Poll" is until 11:59 AM on Wednesday, February 28, 2024, so there isn't much time left! The results are scheduled to be announced on Leap Day, Thursday, February 29, 2024!
By the way, the author voted for Samurai Pizza Cats! It is a hidden masterpiece comical action game based on the anime of the same name, but currently, physical copies are at a premium price!
