The second episode of the NES Talk Shop "Kobayashi-Toy Store," which was released on August 17, 2023 (Thursday), had more than 540,000 views within a week of its release, which clearly shows that people were looking forward to the event. The second " Famicom Nationwide Simultaneous Quiz " will be held on August 27, 2023 (Sun.) from 19:00 to 21:59, and the results of the " Famicom National Vote," which is now a weekly event, have been announced.

The classic title is strong! The 6th results are in!
The results of the 6th " NES People's Poll" "What do you think of sports games? The results of the "Famicom National Poll" have been announced, and the top 20 games have been revealed on the Famicom 40th Anniversary Campaign website! There are many titles based on sports, so I wondered if the votes would be split. I was expecting the votes to be split, but " Professional Baseball Family Stadium," aka " Famista," came in first with 22.5% of the votes, followed by "HyperOhio" in second place with 22.5% of the votes! The second-place winner, " Hyper Olympics," received 16.1% of the votes, concentrating on the top two titles. Professional Baseball Family Stadium" is the first title in a series that has become a staple of baseball games since then, so it is likely that the generation that has played the later titles in the series also voted for this title. In addition, "Hyper Olympics" uses the " Hyper Shot," which appeared in the first "NES Nationwide Simultaneous Quiz" question, so perhaps the timing was right to bring the image of the game to mind. In the top 10, many Nintendo sports games were ranked: "Tennis" at No. 3, "Baseball" at No. 4, "Golf" at No. 7, "Volleyball" at No. 9, and "Soccer" at No. 10. The "Hot" game was voted by the author as the most popular! The "Nekketsu High School DodgeballClub: Soccer" that I voted for came in at No. 28 with 0.6% of the vote, but the " Nekketsu High School Dodgeball Club " that is well known in the "Kuniokun" series came in at No. 5, and " Downtown Nekketsu Koshinkyoku: Soreyuke Daiundokai" came in at No. 10. The fact that "Downtown Nekketsu Koshinkyoku Soreyuke Daiundokai" (Downtown Hot Blood March: It's a Great Undokai) and "Downtown Nekketsu Koshinkyoku Soreyuke Daiundokai " ranked in the top 20 suggests that many people may associate "Kuniookun" with sports. Even if the title you voted for is not in the top 20, you can check it on the "NES National Poll" page, so check it out now!

This is the second in the series on the color of cassettes, following the third "What do you think of red cassettes?

After much deliberation, I voted for " Jackie Chan," an action game with a character design that bears no resemblance to the character itself! It is a masterpiece that gave me a successful experience because it was at a level of difficulty that my child, who is not good at action games, could clear!
