![]() Read on for my opinions on this classic of the otome and dating sim genres. (Specifically, it’s a translation of the expanded Nintendo DS port, Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side: 1 st Love, which came out in Japan in 2007, as opposed to the original which was on PS2 in 2002.) So I took my own little dive into this series, stumbling through three simulated years of life at Habataki Academy on a quest to get a boyfriend. But there is a fan translation of a later entry in the series, Tokimeki Memorial Girl’s Side, which followed the same format with a female protagonist and male love interests. ![]() Unfortunately, I don’t speak Japanese, and neither the original Tokimeki Memorial nor its sequel have ever been translated. Tim Rogers made Tokimeki Memorial sound like a really interesting experience, and I finished the video wishing that I could play it for myself. ![]() ![]() While the video’s length may initially seem intimidating, it’s well worth the watch to see someone exploring the history of romance games and taking them seriously at the same time as having a lot of fun with them, and I highly recommend it. I recently watched and really enjoyed game reviewer Tim Rogers’s in-depth analysis of the influential 90s dating sim Tokimeki Memorial.
