Lastly, here’s an overview of the upcoming visual novel remaster, translated from the Nintendo eShop by Gematsu:
Tokimeki Memorial is a romance simulation game celebrating its 30th anniversary.
Tokimeki Memorial: forever with You Emotional is built around the concept of “reliving memories, just as they were, on Nintendo Switch,” with the original game’s feel and gameplay carefully preserved.
Additionally, new features such as the “Emotional Voice System” (EVS) and the ability to switch between new and original character illustrations are available for players to enjoy.
Emotional Voice System (EVS)
EVS is a feature first introduced in Tokimeki Memorial 2, and later used in the series, where characters will call your name using their voice. Several preset names are included in the game, but a network connection is required if you wish to create a new name. (Note: The ability to create new names for EVS may be discontinued at any time, with prior notice.)
Switchable Character Illustrations
You can switch character illustrations (both portraits and stills) during after-school events and dates, as well as change the window’s font.
You can choose from the following four combinations:
- Original – Uses the original character illustrations and fonts.
- Original + New Font – Uses the original character illustrations, but some fonts are high-resolution versions.
- New Graphics – Uses new character illustrations, while the command selection screen uses the original font.
- New Graphics + New Font – Uses new character illustrations and some high-resolution fonts.
(Note: Even if you select the new font, the user interface, such as icons, will remain unchanged from the original.)
