A great remake of the original Trace Memory. The puzzles are perhaps too simple, but the story is engaging and the it's easy to get invested with the characters.

I pre-ordered a few days before the game was set to release and received my physical copy ten days thereafter. That's great! When I opened the box it had been shipped in, I was surprised to see the game and nothing else. Meaning no bubble wrap, packing popcorn, nada. More shocking is it's undamaged despite shipping out without any protection. Huzzah! Thank you, Best Buy!

The story kept me going and not wanting to put it down. A 30min play session turned into 2hrs.

Not very far into the game, but so far a nice and cute story. Runs very well on switch. Would recommend more if it is on sale or on eshop for sale. I bought it because I'm a fan of hard copy games and figurd I'd pick up the possible hidden gem. As an added bonus physical copies of games will soon no longer exist.

So far, I am only two hours in, and I am loving every second of it. The game looks amazing on my Switch OLED and the story has alot of twists and turns. I also LOVE the box art for the game. I would 100% reccomend if you like story driven games!

Love this remake so much. Can’t help but have a big grin on my face while playing it. I just replayed Trace Memory last year before this remake was announced, and it’s so fun seeing the story unfold in a new way with new visuals and puzzles.

Fun collection of visual novels for a cozy weekend in.

My wife and I played Trace Memory together back when it came out on DS. We were always hoping for the sequel but unfortunately it was never released in the US. This game not only includes both the first and second games, it completely remakes them and the results are glorious. The games are as fun and interesting as ever and we've really enjoyed playing through them together once again. The updated graphics, music, and sound are fantastic. And the characters' dialogue is fully voiced now, which is a nice touch. The puzzles, while fairly easy, are nevertheless a lot of fun to work through. And the story remains fascinating all these years later, accentuated by the high quality voice acting. It feels like a lot of effort was put in to present these games to us in the best way possible.

The first part of this collection is a wonderfully beautiful game that had been trapped on the DS. This remake is faithful while greatly improving for modern hardware. Touching story and interesting puzzles. The second part is the sequel on the Wii which never made it to the states. Unfortunately it had a little less care, as it seems to be less of a remake and more of an upscaled port from the Wii. Textures are a little muddier and the puzzles that focused on the Wii's motion controls feel lacking now, but it's still nice to finally have it here in the US allowing fans to finally experience the rest of the story.

Excellent remaster or Trace Memory and its sequel. For those too young to have owned the DS and Wii, you should definitely pick this up. Suspenseful story for fans of games like Detective Pikachu

Cing was a company known for some oddly unique games, from Hotel Dusk, a game where you held your Nintendo DS like a book as you explored a cheap hotel as a former NYPD looking for clues about a long-lost friend; to Trace Memory, a mystery-thriller about a young girl searching for her long lost father. Remade from the ground up for the Switch along with its previously Japan/Europe only released sequel, the Another Code recollection brings a pair of cult classics to modern hardware. While far from the most graphically impressive games, the unique artstyle and deep narrative are more than enough to draw in anybody who loves a good mystery adventure full of drama and the pursuit of buried truths. Both titles are fairly short, but well worth the price of admission.

It's nice that we final got the sequel to Trace Memory for the Nintendo DS. It's not super challenging but neither is Mario vs. Donkey Kong.

Plays more like a visual novel, story is weird. Performance is okay. Some frame skips and low res textures. Fine if you jusr want to experience the story. Puzzles are dumbed down from the ds and wii.

I don’t play too many visual novels but these 2 blew me away

Great game. It's actually two games in one. The first part you play is a remake of a DS game and the second part you play is a remake of a Wii game. Both done very well in this game, they go seemly from one to the other, and the puzzles are redone so even if you played the originals, you'll still get a new experience playing this one.

I never played the original ds and wii games, so I took a chance on this and it has been an awesome game. I beat the first one already and currently on the sequel. I highly recommend not to pass on this series especially if you like great story/mystery genre.

I really enjoyed the story and puzzles in Another Code: Recollection! It had me hooked trying to solve the mystery right alongside Ashley. The only real letdowns were the voice acting, which could be cheesy at times, and slightly clunky controls (probably because it's a remake of an older game). Overall, still super fun and I'd recommend it if you like murder mysteries or visual novel style games.

Very enjoyable game. Nice graphics for the Switch, and good voice acting.

Another codes 1 and 2 all in 1 games that are quite dificult to get this days in original plataforms, a most have, even if the puzzles are quite different do to be a complete different plataform, but is as good as the originals.
