Recently on the Tokimeki Memorial Girl's Side ~Premium~ 3rd Story website, they actually show a new type of gameplay, which I ASSUME, is the replacement for the skinship mode.
This mode is called 'Approach Mode'.
As you can see in the screencap that I took off of the website, there's a large heart in the upper right corner of the screen. Originally, it will start out small, but I'm guessing that if you choose the right buttons to push, which shows up on the bottom, it will eventually make the heart expand until you don't see the white parts any more.
What I can see is that the differences compared to Skinship mode, is that Approach Mode, can occur outside of the date as well..But I'm not entirely sure myself...
Is anyone willing to confirm this for me?
