Regional differences

[edit]

The original Japanese releases feature Super Game Boy palette and border support, with game descriptions and instructions provided by the girls from the original Tokimeki Memorial. The European versions added color support for the Game Boy Color, but removed the Super Game Boy palettes and borders, as well as the Tokimeki Memorial characters and tutorials.
