Play Ai Sensei no Oshiete - Watashi no Hoshi (Japan) Online

Ai Sensei no Oshiete - Watashi no Hoshi is a Japan-exclusive Nintendo Entertainment System game released in 1990 by publisher Irem. It belongs to that era of the NES when developers experimented with unusual concepts, often blending genres in ways that felt distinctly personal and sometimes eccentric. The game stands out not for its technical ambition, but for its oddball premise and educational slant wrapped in a dating sim framework.

You control a student attempting to win the affection of a classmate by answering trivia questions and participating in brief mini-games. The main objective is to raise your "love level" through correct answers and successful interactions, all under the guidance of an on-screen instructor who offers encouragement. Signature mechanics include multiple-choice quizzes covering general knowledge and quick reflex challenges, like timing button presses to dodge obstacles or match patterns. The pacing is deliberate, with progress tied directly to your performance in these tasks, and the difficulty can feel unpredictable due to the range of topics. Playing it evokes the slightly awkward, earnest charm of trying to impress someone with knowledge and a little luck.
