Dear Boys is a 1994 Japanese video game for Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) based on the manga of the same name. It was developed by Kan's and published by Yutaka.
The game would eventually be followed by a PlayStation 2 (PS2) game developed by Konami based on the same manga titled Dear Boys: Fast Break!, which was released in 2003.
Features[]
The game features both a story mode, which follows the plot of the manga, and an exhibition mode that allows the player to go straight into a match. It also features a slightly turn-based "dramatic" perspective.
A window demonstrates what is happening - a ball is passed, a shot is thrown, the tip-off - in dramatic comic book style that is reminiscent of the manga. While a player's athlete has the ball, the player can pull up a menu that allows them to choose to pass, shoot or look at the present characters stats - each character has their own strengths and weaknesses that the player should keep in mind.
