Summary

Days of Memories Ōedo Ren'ai Emaki packs three former mobile titles into a single DS experience, letting you dive straight into the bustling world of feudal Japan. Unlike earlier entries, this one finally gives a clear setting for the heroines, making the period‑travel romance feel rooted rather than generic. The roster is a love letter to Samurai Shodown: I get to match Nakoruru or Mina Majikina against classic blades like Haohmaru, Genjuro Kibagami, and the original Kyouemon, and there are even two exclusive faces—Shino and Chiyo—to discover.

What makes the game stand out for a retro enthusiast is that the usual King of Fighters crowd steps aside; all the fighters come straight from the samurai‑styled arena, which lends the visual style and story beats a crisp, historically flavored vibe.

Storyline

Days of Memories 3 (often just called Days of Memories) transports players to the turbulent era of Feudal Japan, marking the series’ first outing that actually reveals the hometowns and backgrounds of its heroines. The narrative follows a young protagonist who arrives in a war‑torn province, where legendary female warriors from other SNK titles have gathered. Over the course of a single in‑game month, the player must choose one of these girls and nurture a budding romance, balancing daily duties with the looming threat of conflict. Each decision shapes the relationship’s outcome, offering multiple endings that reflect both the historical setting and the unique personalities of the crossover characters.
