Many titles with high difficulty level? What do you think of the 35th "Action Games" in the "NES People's Poll"? The results were announced!

The winter of 2023-2024 was a mild winter, but the weather has been unstable, perhaps because of this. In the Kanto area, it suddenly warmed up in March, but then it suddenly cooled down. It is a little difficult to go outside because pollen is flying, the wind is quite strong, and the low-pressure system is making it difficult to get around. In such times, the best thing to do is to play games at home. The latest games are so addicting with their beautiful graphics and so many things to do that you can't help but keep playing them, but just like when you eat something salty, you sometimes want to play a simple retro game. And speaking of retro games, the NES is celebrating its 40th anniversary in July 2023! This week, among the various NES 40th anniversary projects, we have announced the results of the 35th "What do you think of action games " of the " NES National Poll," a weekly fun event! The results of the 35th "Action Game" poll have been announced!

The results of the 35th "NES People's Poll" "What's your favorite action game? The results of the "Famicom National Poll" have been announced, and the top 20 are now available on the Famicom 40th Anniversary Campaign website! Since "action games" are a genre that has been released in large numbers among NES titles, one would expect the votes to be split, but " Super Mario Bros. " came in first place with an impressive 41.6% of the vote! One wonders how many times "Super Mario Bros." has been ranked in the "NES National Poll," and this is proof that it is a title loved around the world. The " Mario Bros." series,"ROCKMAN" series, and several other series are ranked in the top 20, as well as "Kirby: The Fountain of Dreams," "Makai Mura," "Castlevania," "Dracula," and "MMO: The Last Airbender" (all of which are also ranked in the top 20). Dracula" and "Nekketsu Kuniokun" are also on the list. It would be interesting to follow the series, starting with the titles that made the list this time. In my opinion, this year's ranking of the top 20 most played games in the history of the "Famicom National Poll," most of them were titles that I was never able to complete at the time. Especially in the early days of the Famicom, there were some action games that had unusual difficulty levels and were unreasonable in both good and bad ways, but I think this can be said to be one of the advantages of the Famicom.

Only goodbye is life! What do you think of "goodbye"? Polling has begun!

The theme of this year's poll is "Farewell! For those who will be entering a new environment in the spring, such as going on to higher education or finding a new job, this is a time of many "goodbyes". For those who are leaving for a new school or a new job, this is a time of "farewells" for both those who are leaving and those who are seeing them off, so there must be one NES title that everyone remembers at such times! We all have one NES title that comes to mind at such times, and although you may feel a little sad when you remember it, please cast a clean vote for the most memorable "farewell" title! Again, you can cast your vote by logging in to your Nintendo account and going to 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 36th "NES Referendum" is until March 27, 2024 (Wednesday) at 11:59 pm, and the results will be announced on March 28, 2024 (Thursday )! I voted for " Dragon Quest IV: The Leaders " because I was shocked by its development even as a child! The remake version is good, but I still think the development of the original version is better. It's sad, but...
