  1. This week's results: Question #36 (3/21-3/27) - When it comes to "farewell/separation", what game comes to mind? 1 Final Fantasy II 22.0 2 Dragon Quest III 13.7 3 Dragon Quest IV 9.5 4 Shin Onigashima 6.2 5 Mother 5.6 6 Fire Emblem 4.4 7 Final Fantasy III 4.1 8 Portopia Renzoku Satsujin Jiken 2.7 9 Ginga no Sannin 2.5 10 Dead Zone 2.2 11 Binary Land 2.0 12 Lagrange Point 1.8 13 Ghosts 'n Goblins 1.4 14 Takeshi no Chousenjou 1.2 15 Dragon Quest II 1.1 16 Okhotsuku ni Kiyu 1.0 17 Megami Tensei II 0.8 18 Wizardry 0.8 19 Ice Climber 0.7 20 Ys II 0.6 Final Fantasy II is a good choice because of all the characters joining/leaving that 4th party slot throughout your adventure. This is also the first poll that any Final Fantasy game has won, compared to 6 for DQ so far. Binary Land is an interesting answer, since you're controlling two characters at once and trying to reunite them. GNG is there because of the memorable (and unskippable) opening scene. Next week's question: When it comes to "hidden gems", what game comes to mind? I'm very curious to see the results of this one. Something like Gimmick comes to mind. Or maybe something like Battletoads or Kage (Shadow of the Ninja). I wonder what would win an NES hidden gems poll these days, because I feel like most of the answers from 20+ years ago are more well known now, like Metal Storm or River City Ransom.
  2. 第36回 -「別れ」といえば? I guess maybe separation is a better way to describe it, as you'll see in the results below...
  3. We started off just okay, but we've really been crushing it since 300. Not quite a record yet, but it could be depending on how we finish: 2024 Rank 50 01-Jan 1st (tied) 100 02-Jan 7th (tied) 150 03-Jan 8th (tied) 200 05-Jan 8th (tied) 250 07-Jan 7th (tied) 300 12-Jan 7th 350 15-Jan 4th (tied) 400 21-Jan 4th 450 28-Jan 3rd 500 03-Feb 3rd 550 13-Feb 3rd 600 02-Mar 2nd 650 677 The record for 650 is April 8th, and the record for all 677 is June 12th.
  4. This week's results: Question #35 (3/14-3/20) - When it comes to "action game," what comes to mind? 1 Super Mario Bros. 41.6 2 Elevator Action 6.2 3 Super Mario Bros. 3 5.2 4 Kung Fu 3.3 5 Mega Man 3.0 6 Mega Man 2 3.0 7 Mario Bros. 1.9 8 Kirby's Adventure 1.9 9 Castlevania 1.8 10 Ninja Gaiden 1.2 11 Goonies 1.1 12 Donkey Kong 1.0 13 Konami Wai Wai World 0.9 13 Super Mario Bros. 2 (JP) 0.9 15 Adventure Island 0.9 15 Challenger 0.9 15 Ghosts 'n Goblins 0.9 18 Spelunker 0.8 19 Yie Ar Kung Fu 0.7 20 Renegade 0.6 20 Mega Man 3 0.6 Elevator Action sure is an action game. I didn't even think of that. If this were an NES list, there would be three more games with that word in it: Jackie Chan's Action Kung Fu (just Jackie Chan in Japan), Last Action Hero, and NES Play Action Football. The latter two not receiving a Famicom release. Quite a large victory for SMB. It's the second biggest margin of victory in these polls, only trailing poll #14. That was when Dragon Quest II won for the password question with 48.8% of the vote, over DQ1's 10.6%. DQ2's percentage there was also the highest in any question so far, with SMB this week being 5th. Next week's question: When it comes to "farewell", what game comes to mind? Maybe Adventure Island IV, since that was the last game released over there?
  5. I made a list of when to get gas a few years ago when I beat it. Sometimes, you can skip a stop with a hi-gas power up. Also, it doesn't matter where you finish on the last stage of the second loop, the "ending" is the same regardless. 1-LA 2nd station, after trains 2-SF 1st station, after first blue car 2nd station, right after the first one 3-PHX 1st station, after a while on either side 2nd station, after first set of buildings 4-DEN 1st station, after train tracks 5-NY 1st station, halfway through on right side
  6. I'm against it. If you allow them for this kind of convenience, then it's a slippery slope to allowing them for other things too. I don't think there's many games which even necessitate you to leave your system on for that long. A better use of your time is probably just doing a run on emulator with save states to practice, and then doing a real run without them.
  7. Well, about that... Here's an old post I found:
  8. This week's results: Question #34 (3/7-3/13) - When it comes to "legend" what game comes to mind? 1 Legend of Zelda 35.4 2 Dragon Quest III 25.1 3 Legend of Kage 12.0 4 Momotarou Densetsu 4.9 5 Castlevania III 4.9 6 Valkyrie no Bouken 2.3 7 Risa no Yousei Densetsu 1.8 8 Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu 1.4 9 Legend of Ghost Lion 1.2 10 Aigiina no Yogen 1.0 11 Majou Densetsu II: Daimashikyou Galious 0.9 12 Nekketsu Kakutou Densetsu 0.8 13 Wizards & Warriors 0.7 14 Saint Seiya: Ougon Densetsu Kanketsu-hen 0.5 15 Kaguya Hime Densetsu 0.5 15 Takeshi no Chousenjou 0.5 17 Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu 0.4 18 Toki 0.4 18 Zelda 2 0.4 20 Knight Gundam Monogatari 3 0.3 20 Dragon Quest 0.3 20 Dragon Spirit 0.3 20 Momotarou Densetsu Gaiden 0.3 It did up being Zelda, although DQ3 got a lot of support. Lots of lesser known games making their first appearance in these polls: Aigiina, Galious, W&W, Kaguya, Ginga Eiyuu Densetsu, Toki, KGM3. Next week's question: When it comes to "action game," what comes to mind? I'm assuming platformers would be considered an action game, so SMB1/SMB3/Mega Man 2 for the top spots? Plus the likes of Goemon, Doraemon, etc.
  9. It seems like more of an easter egg than a separate ending. Apparently you just have to whip the girl at the end, and it gives you some bonus points and adds "big man" to the ending screen.
  10. There's only four 17 point games: Battle Tank, Destination Earth Star, Dungeon Magic, Flight of the Intruder So that's all of them done. There's one other game with 7 pain points, Flying Warriors, which is still unbeaten. But it's a 9 pointer, so 16 overall.
  11. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mtVLHFkZmpURNTAwnwL0n9i6KaEPuXl8wtsSB3gvdV0/ Check the "by person" tab to see who's beaten what every year. That's what the pain points are for, right? Making a list of who's beaten tough games depends on what a tough game is. It's hard because sometimes those people cause the game to lose points by beating it early every year.
  12. It is really tough, but mbd has beaten that game for 6 straight years, so he's our resident BNJ master. Anyway, very productive day today. I would be contributing myself, but I've been playing nothing but Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for the last week. So any NES stuff is on hold for me until I'm done with that. Then I have a brief window until Dragon's Dogma 2 releases.
  13. This week's results: Question #33 (2/29-3/6) - When it comes to "3 character titles" what game comes to mind? 1 Ikki 25.7 2 Ghosts 'n Goblins 9.0 3 Contra 9.0 4 Popeye 7.7 5 Golf 7.5 6 Tennis 7.3 7 Athena 5.3 8 Kineko 3.2 9 Guerilla War 2.9 10 Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2.8 11 Ys 2.1 12 Adventures of Dino-Riki 1.9 13 Layla 1.9 14 Ikari Warriors 1.4 15 Juuouki 1.2 16 Hototogisu 1.0 17 Banana 0.9 18 Alpha Mission 0.9 19 Double Dragon 0.8 20 Mother 0.7 Seems like there's been a bit of an Ikki revival lately. There was an Ikki level in Blaster Master Zero 2, and there was even a new Ikki online game in the style of Vampire Survivors that came out last year. Looking at this list, you have to take into account that some of these names are just the American names that I put there. And also, some longer names are represented by Kanji, which makes things more complicated. Basically, you can't make much sense of this topic without looking at all the Japanese titles AND seeing how they're written. Next week's question: When it comes to "legend" what game comes to mind? This ought to be more interesting. Obviously Zelda comes to mind first. However, Dragon Quest III's subtitle in Japanese is "And, into the Legend..." We all know how much DQ3 dominates these polls, so I actually expect it to win here. I'll pick Castlevania III (Akumajou Densetsu) for third.
  14. Thanks for taking out all the Power Pad games! Dance Arobics next?
  15. Yeah, that's all we've required. I'll go ahead and mark you down for it then. I've played the game a few times, and last time I decided to play against a cpu opponent and beat them. But, you can just give yourself a huge handicap so it isn't any harder. Maybe we should require something like that in the future, still...
