Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side Triple Pack

The popular school dating simulation game "Tokimeki Memorial" has been a staple with Japanese gamers. In 2002 Konami, decided to shift gears and made a Tokimeki Memorial game for the female gamer base.



The spin off series which started in 2002 on the Playstation 2, starred an un-named girl (the player) as she has to survive high school while chasing after the boy of her dreams. Through school clubs, grades, and work, the girl can get closer to her "destined one"  The game made a come back in 2007 for the Nintendo DS named "Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 1st Love"  Adding new characters, touch screen options, and extra cut scenes. It was once again released in 2009 as "Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 1st Love" Fixing bugs and adding more spoken lines. Also they had fixed some of the porting issues and added updated clothing fashion. The word "plus" had been tagged on because the team behind the hit series "Love Plus" had taken over development of the series. 

Kei Hazuki (Voiced by Hikaru Midorikawa) can touch your hand in the DS version. 

Following the success of the first game, in 2006 a second game was released for the Playstation 2 named "Tokimeki Memorial 2nd Kiss" The game featured a brand new cast from a different school. A DS port of the game was created in 2008. The word "Season"' replaced "Kiss" in the title. The DS version added a new date feature where you could go on a date with the guy and have "Skinship" Meaning you could walk and touch him.

The latest game in the series is "Tokimeki Memorial 3rd Story". It focuses on two brothers who live together apart from their parents. Unlike the other games where you have the "main guy" you should go for, 3rd story has the brothers in competition for you. 3rd Story was created in 2010 and is the only one of the GS series that was developed for a portable console. The game was ported for the Playstation Portable in 2012 under the name "Premium 3rd Story"
