In this video, which marks the return of AnyButton2Start, we take a look at the tumultuous history of Tokimeki Memorial in the west and its many failed fan translations. From its initial release, exclusively in Japan, in 1994 to Tim Rogers' Action Button Review of Tokimek Memorial, this video essay will take you through gaming history and, hopefully, help you better understand the cultural significance of this cult classic.
Originally released for the PC-Engine and later for the Super Famicom (SNES), Playstation 1, Sega Saturn, PC and PSP, the original Tokimeki Memorial kicked off the dating simulator genre as we know it today and set the basis for a whole generation of Japanese visual novels and adventure games.
