Today marks the end of 2020, a year in which a lot happened.
This year was one in which the world was at the mercy of the new coronavirus, and we had to live a new lifestyle under various restrictions.
In such a situation, the demand for games and e-sports grew.
Whether it's getting out and about with " Atsumare Animal Crossing " on the Nintendo Switch or getting some exercise with the muscle RPG " RingFit Adventure," more and more people are looking for ways to have fun at home with games. The annual gaming festival, "The Gaming Festival," will be held on June 22nd.
The annual game festival " Tokyo Game Show " was also held online for the first time, and the excitement was as great as that of the offline event.
As the year 2020 will soon come to an end, the editorial staff of Saiga NAK has announced their personal best articles!
We'll also be showing you what was going on at the time and the reasons for our selections!
Nash Tajima
Nash Tajima is an infrastructure engineer who, for various reasons, is unable or unwilling to write articles, but is active in game distribution and other activities.
Is it true that he is actually a Gil user or that he calls himself a Gil user to outsmart his opponents who have tried to counter Nash?
The article he chose this year was an article reviewing the new MAD CATZ arcade stick, "EGO Arcade Stick," which was released on October 31.
The reason he chose it was because it was "the most exciting purchase I made this year. Is that what you think of the article?

MAD CATZ has successfully recovered from bankruptcy in 2017.
Many fans have been waiting for the new EGO Arcade Stick, and Nash Tajima is one of them.
"I bought the new MAD CATZ arcade stick, and I want you to write a review of it! " was his offer to make the review article a reality.
Nash Tajima is the most well-known name in Saiga NAK. Stay tuned for more from him next year!
Band Man
A bandstand band member with a passion for gaming and RPGs, as well as audio devices.
The bassist band member's No. 1 pick is an article published on July 21 about the release date of a Japanese-style action RPG game, " Amaho no Sakunahime.
When we asked him why he chose the release date, he replied, "I've been waiting for the release of SAKUNAHIME for a long time, so I was very excited when the release date was announced.
When it was released, it was a huge hit and actually fun to play. " he said.
「米は力だ！」Nintendo Switch・PS4「天穂のサクナヒメ」の発売日が遂に決定！
"Tenho no Sakunahime" will be released on Thursday, November 12, 2020.
As soon as the game was released, Twitter was abuzz with talk of " rice farming " and related topics, and the fact that the website of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries is a strategy site was also a topic of conversation.
This title has been the topic of endless conversation, with a total of 500,000 units shipped worldwide within two weeks of its release, which is unprecedented for an indie game.
The developer of "Amanoh no Sakuna Hime" was recently interviewed by the Ministry of Agric ulture, Forestry and Fisheries (MAFF), and the interview was posted on MAFF's Facebook page.
Why don't you learn more about rice cultivation through the "SAKUNAHIME of AMAHO," a rice cultivation game that is too hard to be played?
LAN Cable Man

He chose to write about Satsushu Aka Usaba (sweet potato shochu) and Satsushu Rofu (barley shochu), both of which were published on June 5.
He says "Aka-Usagi is good and I could drink it easily "... Is that his impression of the article?
「三國志14」に登場している焼酎「薩州 赤兎馬」「薩州 呂布」を飲んでみた！
When we published the news about the collaboration between Koei Tecmo's historical simulation game " Sangokushi 14 " and Kagoshima Prefecture's shochu brewery " Satsushu Ham adaya Denbei", Satsushu Hamadaya Denbei sent us a letter saying " Please drink it! We have been reviewing energy drink for a long time, and we have been writing about it for a long time.
We have reviewed energy drinks before, but we never thought we would be reviewing alcoholic beverages.
Thank you very much, Satsushu Hamadaya Denbei!

The article chosen by the editor-in-chief of Saiga NAK was an article covering the " Life-size Liza figure (Liza 2 ver.) un veiling" that was published on December 1!
We'll spare you the commentary on why we chose it, since we couldn't publish it!
新しいライザ等身大フィギュアと伊織もえさんが夢の共演！「等身大ライザフィギュア（ライザ２ver.）お披露目会」へ潜入！
The life-size figure of Liza, the main character of " Liza's Atelier 2: The Lost Lore and the Secret Fairy" and Moe Iori (@moe_five), an official cosplayer of Liza's Atelier, were together in a dream.
The figure is of course of high quality, with the wrinkles and texture of the costume and Liza's chubby thighs recreated, but Moe Iori, who also cosplayed as Liza at TGS2020 and drew attention as the " real Liza," is the strongest member of the lineup, and is now a formidable opponent.
