The difference is that they were largely unvoiced and their writing wasn’t otherwise nearly strong enough to compensate, and Tokimeki Memorial faces a similar quandary without that voice acting.” “ Tokimeki Memorial is by no means the first Japanese game to have tried to build mechanics around the act of fostering relationships with people. “or a game where the end objective is to essentially get a girl to confess her feelings to you, the impact of that reward is diminished significantly when you can’t hear it actually articulated, let alone the progression leading up to that moment,” James explained to Kotaku via email. It may sound trivial by today’s standards, but this was big stuff in the early days of CD-ROM gaming.
This made the girls feel more real, and one could even listen to the inflections in their voices during conversations for clues as to how they felt about you. Apart from its stunning pixel art, Tokimeki Memorial elevated the dating sim genre with the introduction of extensive voice clips for the game’s cast.

“It’s not a Full Film it’s a DVD bonus feature you throw on while waiting for your laundry to finish while also waiting for an important phone call.”Īs mentioned, the biggest problem with Tokimeki Memorial: Densetsu no Ki no Shita de, according to both Rogers and professional Japanese-to-English translator Tom James, is the lack of voice acting in the Super Famicom edition.

“Playing Tokimeki Memorial for Super Famicom before playing it for Sony PlayStation, Sega Saturn, Windows, or PC Engine would be like watching a movie for the first time with the TV muted and two lines of subtitles displaying both the movie’s dialogue and the director’s commentary,” Rogers told Kotaku via email. It may not have been the first dating sim, but Tokimeki Memorial is perhaps most responsible for putting the genre on the map. More recently, those diehards were joined by a new crop of players eager to try the game for themselves thanks to former Kotaku video editor Tim Rogers’ six-hour video essay about Tokimeki Memorial’s history and legacy. Longtime fans of the Tokimeki Memorial franchise have waited for the original game to be translated into English for decades.

Still, this disappointing wrinkle doesn’t mean the project isn’t worth celebrating. But there’s a catch: It’s the less-than-perfect Super Famicom port that’s been translated, not the superior version that appeared on the PlayStation.
