What's /vr/ opinion about this game or the series overall? I liked it more than Love Plus.

>> No.1419978

Tokimemo is one of the greatest video games ever wrought by the hands of man. Just you posting it is almost enough to make me go pop it into my Saturn and play it again.

>> No.1419994

it slightly perks my interest, but it's japanese with no english fantranslations, so it's all meaningless menus to me.

I used to try to fumble my way through the SFC ROM as far as I could get without knowing Japanese back in high school and a few months ago I grabbed a PSX ROM and tried playing it after having spent the last few years studying Japanese and playing modern eroge.

I couldn't take how corny it was and gave up after a half hour.

Unless you've played it, I don't know how you can be in a position to judge its quality.
And since you'd have to know Japanese to have actually played it, there's almost no way you'd actually know Japanese, be into video games, and NOT know what Tokimemo is long before GCCX was ever even a thing, as it's fucking famous as all hell.

You don't see my point.
It's 2014.
There is no need to talk about shit anymore.
There are flashgames that are better than TM.
Granted, TM is the originator of some sorts but that doesn't make the game worthwhile. There is no story or characters of worth in it, the gameplay is laughable-

I was introduced to it by a particular LP'er on Niconico. Funny story, the guy was primarily known for doing corruption videos, and there was one particular video where he experimented with corrupting various SNES games, one of which was the SNES version of Tokimemo 1. That segment earned such a great response that he decided to make a whole SNES Tokimemo corruption series.

He wasn't actually that familiar with the franchise at the time, so while he was doing the corruption series he borrowed his friend's Tokimemo 4 out of curiosity and started doing a Let's Play of it to see what the series was like. And he got hooked. From there he went on to do LP's of Tokimemo 1, 2, and 3, as well as True Love Story 1, 2, 3, and Summer Days, KimiKiss, Amagami, and most recently Photo Kano.

Anyway, I like what I've seen from his videos. It's very lighthearted, sweet, innocent stuff, but I suppose like a previous poster mentioned it could come off as corny to people more familiar with modern media. I hope that someday at least 1 and 2 get English translations made.

Music's great, too. Particularly like the SNES version of the TOokimemo 1 spring break theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m0RfqhXq01U&t=25m40s

As soon as I got interested in the Tokimemo series, this thread arrives.

I've been contemplating trying out Tokimemo 1 for funsies and to put my Japanese to the test. A weird sense of shame about playing a dating sim is preventing me from going through with it though.

But that's just retarded. My ex knew I played Eroges and thought it was cute. That's not the reason we broke up either.

The problem is not the dating sim. It's you. You don't have confidence in yourself and you think you're playing a waifu simulator because you're unable to get a real woman, but that's just wrong.

Hitemman, I believe it was the guy. He's pretty well known there, but I think his account got deleted. Since then, all corrupt videos in nicodouga usually have the "Hitemman respect" on them.

As for the game, it is really good. First time, I tried the PS1 version, and then out of curiosity tried the PC engine version. God, I can't believe there's almost no difference between the PC engine version and the other ports. That console was a beast.
The game in my opinion feels way more complete than Love Plus, since you have way more girls to choose, not treating them all fine would make all the girls hate you (including the one you're aiming for), and the music is always happy as fuck. Felt in love with Yuuko at first sight, never cared about the other girls ever again (although I kinda want to try the Shiori route, since it is said it's really hard to get her).

Need to try the second game though. And it kinda shocked me to know that Girls Sida got translation, but the very first game didn't had one. Bummer

>> No.1420787

What I dislike with Dating Sims is that they pay off at the end is complete shit compared to eroges. It's almost always a kiss of some sorts instead of a hard earned fuck you should receive.

Well at least that was always the case in Tokimori Memorial, they're just completly vanilla.

That's him, alright. He's actually still active on Niconico, but he deleted all his corruption videos and won't be making any more due to worries about emulators and copyright law. Now he's just doing LP's and RPG Maker stuff.

Completely unrelated.

Tokimeki Memorial has several spin offs though. You have the drama series and substories, puzzle dama and girls-side.

>> No.1421116

>>1420791
As it was mentioned, text quality is better but music is ass.
Also, tried the PSP version. Load of bullcrap, it's just the PS1 version with options to play it at normal resolution or full screen (the latter with the obvious problem of making everything look fat).
If somebody had to choose which version to choose, the correct choice might be anyone, except maybe the SNES version, but I like the music there more.

There's even a Game Boy Color version, but I'm not sure if it's the same game overall or some kind of spinoff. Only think I know is, it splitted the girls in 2 games, and each game has like 1 or 2 exclusive girls.

>>1420814
Oh, good to know. But seeing how there's lots of people making corruptions videos with the same games he choose and still have their videos intact, he should return.

It's kinda the same game, they cut some stuff and you can only get three girls + Shiori in each game (only two games were released so some girls were never included in the GBC games).

I think the GBC versions also had some exclusive girls that were never in any other version. But I could be remembering wrong.

Made some research on that game, and I found that, while it is divided in 2 games (sport festival and cultural festival), from the look of it, all the girls are featured on the games (of course, split in 2 groups) plus the 3 new characters, so no girl was out. Maybe the info was wrong, dunno, I still want to check it later, after I finish the PSP port.

>> No.1422943

Fun fact: Tokimemo was largely responsible for the proliferation of cheap PSX modchips. A fan reverse-engineered an early "boot chip" so he could play Tokimemo on his US PSX without swapping discs, and then published his findings online.

>> No.1422990

Another fun fact: Tokimemo was made by the team that did the PC Engine port of Gradius II. They made it to experiment with a new genre because they had realized that shmups weren't selling well anymore.
