Tokimeki Girl's Side Premium 3rd Story's Promo Video Posted

Konami's official YouTube channel began streaming a 4-minute promotional video for the Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side Premium ~3rd Story~ PlayStation Portable game on Thursday. The video provides profiles for the dating simulation game's main male characters and introduces gameplay modes.

Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side Premium ~3rd Story~ is a port of the original Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side 3rd Story game, which was released on the Nintendo DS console in June 2010. The game will feature a new interface, character, and event scenes. Players can chose from "Approach Mode," "Whim Play," and "Boys' Life" gameplay modes. The title also uses the same Live2D computer-animated technique for faces that the Haruhi, Oreimo and Haganai video games have used.

The Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side series is a spinoff of the Tokimeki Memorial dating simultion franchise that features male characters instead of the original games' female dates. Konami will also host a special event on March 18 to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side games, and tickets will cost 8,190 yen (about US$106).

Konami posted two gameplay videos that highlight the characters Kouichi Sakurai (Junichi Suwabe) and Ruka Sakurai (Tomokazu Sugita) earlier this month and another promotional video in December.

Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side Premium ~3rd Story~ will ship in Japan for the retail price of 6,090 yen (about US$80) on March 15.
