[SUB!] Tokimemo Easter Eggs #2: Circus Charlie has its remake of sorts with Circus de Aimashou!

**I want to first thank a TON my friend VyseTheDetermined (   / vysethedetermined2  ) for helping me with this vid, by giving me a sample of Circus Charlie. Without you Vyse, this vid wouldn't have been possible to make. I'm really grateful towards you!!** Second video of a series displaying various Easter Eggs and Shout Outs towards other games, inside the games of the Tokimeki Memorial series. This video is dedicated to a really obscure Tokimemo Easter Egg, virtually unknown in the West and that only careful Japanese fans know about. Indeed, I'm talking here about two Komani games: "Circus Charlie", released on the NES in 1986, and "Tokimeki Memorial 2 Music Video Clip: Circus de Aimashou" (= "Let's Meet At The Circus"), released on PS2 in 2002. What could those two games, three console generations apart from either other, share in common, aside from the company and the "circus" name in them? In fact, Circus de Aimashou is purely and simply a remake / spiritual successor of Circus Charlie! Circus Charlie is a game where you play as a little clown, Charlie, who has to perform 5 different circus shows in succession. They go from jumping through flaming rings to walking on a ball to doing trapeze. I admit I haven't played that game, but seeing various videos of the game on YT, it looks challenging. Tokimeki Memorial 2 Circus de Aimashou takes this idea and runs with it: in there, you're playing as Sumire Nozaki, secret character of the original Tokimemo 2 game, and daughter of Takehiro Circus' owner and ringmaster. With Sumire, you'll go through 3 different circus shows mini-games (a jumping through flaming rings course, doing a juggling with balls or skittles performance, and doing a tightrope act). Your goal is to play those performances the best possible in order to gain a maximum of points, needed to unlock various (really well-animated) music clips of the most popular characters of Tokimeki Memorial 2. Aside from the same premise, both games share a mini-game. Or rather, Circus de Aimashou took it and brought it back in its own style and in a more modern version. That mini-game, is the Flaming Rings jumping course. In there, you'll ride a lion, and will have to jump through the numerous flaming rings in the way as fast as possible, so you can reach the goal before time runs out. The Circus de Aimashou version adds a second rider, Daisy, Sumire's pet monkey. In this game, unlike Circus Charlie where only the lion can jump, all three of the lion, Sumire and Daisy can and will need to jump. Hope you'll enjoy the vid! :D
