Game Synopsis
«©NCSX» Konami
gave love a chance in 1994 when the company tested
the whims of a fickle market with a game titled
Tokemeki Memorial. As is always the case with genre
defining pioneers, no one at Konami knew if Tokimeki
would catch on or fall by the wayside, unnoticed and
unloved by uncaring fans. Fortunately for the dating
game genre, Tokimeki Memorial set hearts afire on
the PC-Engine and eventually made its way to the
Playstation, the Saturn, and the Super Famicom. The
game would also inspire sequels, side stories,
books, and mass merchandising year in and year out.
Then came the waves of clones and copycats. Clones
which enjoyed sequels and large fan followings of
their own.
Konami revisits the first Tokimeki Memorial game where Kirameki
High School serves as the nexus of teenage hormones
and confessions of love underneath a Tree of Legend.
As the game starts, the protagonist is speaking to
his best friend Yoshio Saotome when he spies the
lovely Shiori Fujisaki. Fair of skin and blessed
with a fiery wave of perfectly cut tresses, Shiori
is a dream girl. But she's not the only one -
Kirameki High School brims with attractive maidens
who all provide prospects for your dating life...
Enjoying Tokimeki Memorial on the PSP is a novelty for gamers who
have already won the hearts of the 13 gals in the
game. That's right, 13 since one of them is playing
the Crying Game...in reverse. However, Konami didn't
put much work into the game and it's basically a 1:1
conversion of the original release. That means
no wide screen mode and no bells or whistles to
provide added value for anyone
who
already owns the PC-Engine, Playstation or Saturn version.
NCS Game Notes
» During a date with a girl, rowdy thugs may
accost the two of you and raise a ruckus. Once an
encounter starts, it's time to battle back and the
various girls will help in the impromptu warfare.
Perform well and your street cred grows in the eyes
of the girl. Flounder during the offensive and
she'll look at you with less admiration.
» Tokimeki Memorial is just a game. However,
the social interactions are modeled fairly
accurately on actual human behavior. For example,
the girls in the game form a social circle and word
gets around quickly. If you're a cad or a juggler,
expect to get bombed by the girls as word of your
repute gets around.
» The storyline in Tokimeki Memorial takes
place over three years in High School and the aim is
to get a girl to confess her love to you underneath
the Tree of Legend. Once a girl's heart is won at
the end of your High School stint, an ending
sequence plays which shows the girl professing her
feelings.
