Getter Love!!: Chō Renai Party Game Tanjō[a] is a dating sim party game for the Nintendo 64 game console. The title actively enforces a multiplayer approach to gameplay, something unusual for the genre at the time. It was released only in Japan in December 1998.[1] A fanmade English patch was released in December 2023 (25 years after the initial Japanese release).[2]

Synopsis and gameplay

The goal of Getter Love!! is to build up connections with the female NPCs with the intent of asking one of them to be your partner. The one who acquires a girlfriend will win the game. Alfonso Roberto Martini, an Italian exchange student living in Japan, is the game's host who explains the rules and introduces the girls to various contestants. There are seven different girls to build up closeness and feelings for. An eighth girl by the name of Reika Kongouji, however, can engage in unsolicited attachment toward any of the players and effectively negatively impacts a player's stats, reputation and can ruin dates with the other girls when she is encountered.[3]

  2. ^ While N64 Magazine's standard reviews rated games on a % system, their review of Getter Love declined to rate it, giving it a rating of "??%", pleading confusion.[4] However, the "N64 Directory" of past reviews at the end of each issue included a secondary "star mark" rating out of five, intended to represent an updated score, and gave it 2/5 stars the following issue.[5]
