The Origin of the Tokimeki Memorial Series Revived in the Modern Era! Enjoy the Beloved Romance Simulation Game in Its Original Quality! Celebrating 30 Years Since Its Release—Tokimeki Memorial: Forever With You Emotional is Here!

“I never thought we'd meet again......”—this is the feeling you get with “Tokimeki Memorial: Forever With You Emotional,” as if reunited with your first love. When familiar faces like Nijino and Asahina appear on the Switch screen, many players surely feel their hearts flutter. A legendary romance simulation revived after 30 years—there's simply no reason not to play it.

The first surprise is how faithfully the nostalgic gameplay has been preserved. Just like back then, you manage your schedule, participate in club activities, and gradually build a connection with the girls. The essence of “Tokimeki Memorial” is faithfully retained, while the game has been carefully adjusted for smooth play on the modern Switch. This is no mere port—it's a remaster that radiates “love.”

One of the most moving features is the inclusion of the EVS (Emotional Voice System). The characters actually “say” your name out loud. What once had to be imagined is now brought to life. The excitement of hearing your name called hasn't faded, even as an adult. It's also great that, with an internet connection, newly recorded voice data is supported.

Choose between nostalgic pixel art or beautifully redrawn modern graphics. Even the fonts can be chosen from four options to suit player preferences—a nice touch. The flexibility to satisfy both purists and those who prefer modern visuals is proof of the care given to long-time fans.

Additionally, there's a deluxe edition that includes a gallery full of licensed artwork from the era, plus BGM collections from the PC Engine and Saturn versions. I played the SFC and PS versions back in the day, so hearing those tracks again was truly moving. It instantly brings back the atmosphere of “those days.” It would be perfect if we could decorate the home screen with illustrations—but here's hoping for that in the future.

The moment I got my hands on this game, I realized it wasn’t just a simple remaster. New features have been added, but at its core is a deep respect for the feelings from back then. The joy of reuniting with your favorite characters and weaving the story once more...... Even though I’ve played this game countless times, I’m captivated again—perhaps because it always stayed in my heart.

“Tokimeki Memorial: Forever With You Emotional” is a beautiful blend of nostalgia and newness. Please, relive that feeling of “tokimeki” from back then once more.
