In a large poll on Japanese television, 50,000 participants voted the best console game of all time.
More 50,000 viewers from the television channel Asahi TV responded to the large video game survey organized on the occasion of a special event. The name of the greatest video game of all time had to be decided, in a country which has, if not invented, at least largely contributed to the global development of the sector. It should be noted that this classification only concerns console games.
We therefore find a considerable number of episodes of Final Fantasy, Mario and Zelda, no trace of Doom, Goldeneye, a GTA or an Elder Scrolls, and a very recent game in mind. We could also add that the Japanese are decidedly very chauvinistic, but that would only be purely subjective.
Or not?

By the way, Shigeru Miyamoto, father of a good part of the games mentioned, had carte blanche to speak directly from the official Nintendo account and delivered a message to his fans:
It’s Miyamoto.
Thank you for voting for many Nintendo titles in the “Video Game General Election” which aired last night. It was also an opportunity to remember every game development scene that unfolded for nearly 40 years. We will continue to create video games that will bring new experiences to everyone.
