June 2024 is in the middle of the month. In many areas, the temperature has risen quickly, and some places have already recorded midsummer days with temperatures exceeding 30 degrees Celsius. It is important to adjust your body temperature with your clothes, use air conditioning, and drink water as soon as possible before you feel thirsty. Juice is not good enough. Drink water. And although it is later than usual, the rainy season will soon arrive. The temperature and humidity will be high and the discomfort index will continue to be high, so it is best to stay inside in a comfortable room with air conditioners and dehumidifiers to reduce the humidity! The best companion for such home time is a game, but the more time you spend playing, the quicker you tend to clear the game. One option is to play classic retro games that you may not have had the chance to play before, and the weekly " NES National Poll " is a great place to start! This time, the 47th "What do you think of robots " was chosen as the theme that boys in particular find romantic. The results have been announced!
The physical "robot" came in first place! The 47th results are in!
The results of the 47th "NES People's Poll" "What do you think of the word 'robot'? The results of the "NES National Poll" have been announced, and the top 20 are now available on the NES 40th Anniversary Campaign website! Most games are set in fictional worlds, and there are many works in which robots appear, so it seems that the votes were split this time.
The " Gyroset " won first place with 11.5% of the votes! Along with the " Block Set," which came in fifth place, the " Family Computer Robot " was quite innovative in that it was a game that linked an actual "robot," called a " Family Computer Robot," with the Famicom. Nintendo must have been amazing, because they released this in 1985.
Many people may think of the "Family Computer Robot" when they hear the word "robot" on the Famicom (NES) or Nintendo, but there was a limit to what was possible with the specifications of the Famicom at the time, so the "Gyro Set" and "Block Set" were developed. However, due to the limitations of what was possible with the NES specs at the time, only two games were released: the "Gyro Set" and the "Block Set. However, since then, they have made guest appearances in various Nintendo titles, including the " Super Smash Bros. " series, so perhaps they are well known. To play the game, you need an actual NES, a "Family Computer Robot," and a CRT TV, so the bar is pretty high, but you can see it in action at the 8th NES Talk Shop at the Kobayashi Toy Store! You can see the actual machine in action at the 8th "Famicom Talk Shop Kobayashi Toy Store! The "Famicom Talk Shop Kobayashi-Toy Store" will be open until around July 10, 2024 (Wednesday), so be sure to tune in soon! By the way, "The 2nd Super Robot War", which I voted for, came in 7th place with 6.3% of the vote! Getaaaaaatmahawk!
I grew up watching his back! Who is your father? Polls are now open!
The 47th edition is over, which means the 48th edition has begun. Voting for the 48th "NES Referendum" started on June 13, 2024 (Thursday)! The theme of this year's poll is "What is your father's name? This year's theme is "What do you think of your father? This year's poll was held in conjunction with Mother's Day, under the theme "What do you think of your mother? The theme for this year's "Father's Day" is June 16, 2024 (Sunday), so the timing is perfect.
As was the case on "Mother's Day," it is a little embarrassing to express our gratitude to our fathers once again. Why don't you just say thank you once a year on "Father's Day" and let your father know how you feel about him?
And, why don't you just say "thank you" to your father on Father's Day? There are many NES titles in which a "father" appears. Depending on the title, the "father" may appear in a variety of positions, but I feel that in many cases, he is a role model or a goal for the characters. Please cast your vote for the title that you remember the most!
You can vote again this year 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 48th "NES Reunion Vote" ends at 11:59 a.m. on Wednesday, June 19, 2024! The results will be announced on June 20, 2024 (Thursday )! I voted for " Yosuke Ide Meijin no Jissen Mahjong " which my real father used to play! It is a 2-player game with a special controller!
