Featuring Female Dante from the Devil May Cry series

We're ever so slightly seeing Charlie's transition into ThePointAndBritShow.

That Hotel Dusk jingle at the end gets a thumbs up from me chief

Holy hell. Seeing people talk about Another Code isn't something you see every day.

A white haired protagonist that isn't a demon slaying, pizza eating, wise-cracking character in a video game? What is this? What alternate universe am I living in?

We are getting Another Code: Recollection for Nintendo Switch!!! It's a complete remake of the first two games! I'm glad Nintendo is revisiting it!

Ok ok ok. But can you jump cancel?

really love that you're leaning into niche/forgotten games cause thats always the most interesting content imo

It was not just the touch screen involved in the mini games. In one of them you hade to close the DS to make a stamp on paper. I was blown away by that creativity back then.

Good news everyone we got a remake against all odds!!!!

Here before the remake gets announced

I like how the graphics look on the Wii game, reminds me of Valkiria chronicles for some reason

hey I'm from the future and I'm happy to announce that Another code Two memories and R got a remake for the switch

I kinda love it that TGB, the hardcore action game purist, has this weird soft spot for whacky slow-paced detective games

Crazy how this video is relevant again never thought niche DS games like this would get a rerelease

We're so back

LETS GOOOO ITS BACK

Really enjoying this series on some very niche games! Always cool to learn about titles most people won't have heard of!

I’m from the future, maybe there is hope

You won! Kind of. Probably testing the waters to see if an actual sequel is buyable.

The fact that this game is somehow being remade along with it's extremely under-discussed Wii sequel is actually a bit mind boggling to me. I can't wait to dive in again. This is basically the game that introduced me to Japanese style adventure and visual novel games. I've been obsessed ever since 😅

Welp, I'm absolutely picking up the remake now.

I think I was 11 or 12 when I bumped into this game by chance in the second hand section of a video game shop in my town, and bought it with some spare change. One of the best finds I’ve ever made. Great game!

The re-release is coming.

Thanks for making this. It's nice to see and listen to the perspective of the different localizations that American reviewers don't usually have. I hope Nintendo's decision to keep the original title in the HD Collection means the localization will be pretty good

This game is fun, basically what got me into Ace Attorney. Never played the Wii game, I should probably get to it.

Another Code was my second DS game ever! And I loved it. Great to see it's getting some love here too, nobody seems to ever talk about it.

HOLY FRICC IT’S BACK FROM THE DEAD

What a charming, forgotten gem

wow the remaster did a bang up job at cleaning everything up, defiantly more interested in playing these 2 games now after seeing the trailer

Does Ashley’s dad look a bit like Edward Elric’s? Maybe it’s just that “handsome anime scientist dad who has no time for his children” trope.

I was pretty surprised to see the Another Code Recollection announcement at today's direct, and it made me want to rewatch this video, since Charlie introduced me to this series (does two games a series make?)

So this is the legacy of Another Code… 😯 I’m intrigued to give the upcoming dualigy a spin on Switch, but I’m also curious how these two games (that were built on fully utilising the DS and Wii’s unique features) will play on a console that bid farewell to such an era… 🤔

Oh man now im wishing you'd talk about zero escape.

Mate thank you so much for making this, Another Code is one of my favorite games. The atmosphere and comfiness of the game is unreal, still play it in bed at night and nod off to it every now and then.

Wait wait wait. Was that the voice of The Sphere Hunter? Yes it was. Awesome

I LOVED Hotel Dusk and Last Window so that jingle in the end really hit me right in the feels. Looking forward to it ;) Oh, and great video; you've got me a bit more interested in checking these games out on a rainy day. The Hotel Dusk duology was spectacular so I don't think I'll be disappointed :)

The games is getting a remake for Switch so that will be sweet to see it in 4K

Another Code is back babyyyyyy

That was a great vid, I 'knew' of Ashley and her games for a long time but never went any further cause at the time I was very much into action and adventure games. I'm now worried that playing this will make me a fan and I'll have to suffer another series I like never getting a sequel.

My first Deja Vu moment as a kid was seeing that ghost boy in a dream then later playing a random game i've never played before and that first moment you meet him, that green background. Then I was determined to beat it but got stuck and forgot about it.

Another Code remake in 3D!

The Another Code series is so underrated, I loved the first game on my DS, but all I ever hear people talk about is Hotel Dusk. Thank you for covering this and spreading the word!

I remember getting a loan of this off my mate back when the DS was young and really enjoying it. There's a mind-blowing puzzle in there that Zelda would later nick wholesale. Shame to hear about the American localisation because a huge part of it for me was the sort of muted, melancholy atmosphere. "White hair?? You look like you've seen a ghost!" Pipe doon

I think the American localization catered it to the younger people. When I played it, I think those bad jokes helped calm me down. There's a lot of unintended creepiness about the game. The piano playing a room away implying someone is nearby really stuck with me. Also the fact that a ghost is floating around next to you kind of puts you on edge.

That teaser at the end gave me the chills, I love the Hotel Dusk/Last Window games. I will definitely check out Another Code later on when I get the opportunity.

I have Another Code in good memory. I played this game in the summer of 2005. It was the last summer I could spend with my father before he passed away. Another Code is also about letting go of the past and accepting our losses. An analogy I also see in my life.

Thanks for this, recently taken an interest in point and click games so your timing couldn't have been more perfect. Will definitely pick these both up, and maybe I'll finally get down to playing hotel dusk, which has been in my backlog for sometime now

Absolutely loved this series and almost everything Cing produced (ignoring AGAIN).

This and Time Hollow flipped my expectations of what portable games should be. I mostly played, platformers metroidvanias and rpgs on portable, but suddenly getting a puzzle, mystery, and visual novelish game I never imagine playing those on a portable system. Then proffesor Layton and Phoenix wright happened and the rest was history.

Really nice piece of memorabilia that made me felt like it was still yesterday I was playing these games and Hotel Dusk. Thanks for the fond throwback.

I'm really liking the focus on niche adventure games.

Hey Charlie - loving the new direction of the channel yo! Interesting stuff. Keep up the good work!

Been meaning to replay these for a while now. I liked how the end of each chapter had a Q & A about the events of that part as a small reminder of everything that happened.

thankfully no parallel timeline needed :) got my copy of the recollection today ! needed to touch back up on the originals first tho ofc :p

What's also tragic about Cing's bankruptcy is that we never got more Kyle Hyde mysteries either. I forgot Another Code had a sequel (though being in America, that's not surprising). Still, I enjoyed both franchises, and it's a shame we'll never see either one...

gonna play this game before i finish this video. seems right up my alley thanks for letting me know it exists

So glad that you’re talking about cing as you’ll finally make it to little king’s story eventually. Easily in the top five best games ever for me. Genuinely a hidden gem and a true masterpiece.

Wow, these two games really take me back! I loved the first "Another Code" game. It was the game that truly sold me the Nintendo DS features for complex games, and some of its puzzles completely blew me away. I also have good memories of the sequel, albeit for totally different reasons that unfortunately I can't discuss here. But still, a really charming series I wish could have lasted longer. The same for "Hotel Dusk" and "The Last Window". Boy, I'm going to look forward for that one.

I found out about Another Code and Hotel Dusk through Smash Ultimate's spirits (and coincidentally got excited to see Raymond Bryce thanks to you) and it felt like I discovered a quaint bit of history. Picked up Hotel Dusk immediately because I love unique styles but held off on Trace Memory/Another Code, but good to see it's charming, I'll pick it up sooner rather than later. Thanks for recommending the PAL version's localization as well!

Thanks for covering these, I got both games (UK based) because of this excellent review!

This episode was such a pleasant surprise. :)

One more white haired video game protagonist, Brit, and imma start thinking you have a thing for albinos...

Both of these look really good, in the last years I've grown quite fond of visual novels.

Oh yeah, that tease! Hotel Dusk/Last Window next please!

I still say Hotel Dusk's series is the pinnacle of Cing.

Great video my dude!

Does thegamingbrit have a secret love for point and click games, what a genre change from fast paced complex action game to point and click

I remember Trace Memory fondly and still have it on my shelf, but I had no idea that it had such a different localization from the Another Code release! I've always wanted to play the Wii sequel, so when I do I'll be sure to replay the European DS game first rather than my own American copy. Thanks for letting me know.

Oh God please get to Hotel Dusk and Broken Window. Those games are amazing and really deserve much more recognition

Still waiting on Another Code 3

Trace Memory/Another Code R or whatever title they eventually settled on was among the first games I had for the og DS and despite only having played through it once it is one I've never been able to part with. As a gamer who cut his teeth on Myst and Riven this game's puzzles are laughably... "quaint" - and charmingly so! The ending also had me crying my manhood out all over the DS touch screen. It's worth a playthrough on eshop if it's there at all at the very least, so thanks my British Gaming cousin for reminding people this exists!

I've only played the hotel dusk games, so this was pretty interesting. Seeing forward to what you have to say about them.

I like to hear Sphere Hunter in your vids. You both have a hard on for DMC and a love for japanese horror games

Jesus christ this brings back memories

I’m glad more people are making more videos on this underappreciated series from Nintendo. Another Code was really unique and intriguing. I wish Nintendo made more adventure detective like games like before.

I didn't forget. I remember seeing the character in a work safe image board.

Good memories. I love this game.

I remember it and still have it.

Can't wait for Hotel Dusk! The sequel was how I learned what the PAL region was. Love the series.

Well I'm definitely gonna play both games now. I absolutely love Hotel Dusk and the Last Window, so it's a no brainer why I should play them.

i love this channel

Guess this is now a Point and Click Combo Mad channel. Can't wait for those high skill right and left click techs.

love this and hotel dusk

THANK YOU!!!!

i still have my original another code ds cartridge and box even though i no longer have a ds. i enjoyed this game a lot.

Oh look it’s that one girl from smash world of light

I remember beating this game, during an all-nighter, in which I was thankfully not caught, being up all night. Good time. :)

one of the best ds games, good memories

I played the first game on my own but decided to share the sequel experience with my friend. Never forget that Home menu puzzle. :D

I've was always meaning to play this

The difference between the Euro and NA translations of Another Code is the most succinct, weirdly symbolic example of why I feel more and more an outsider here in the States and wish to move away.

This channel went from being solely about action games to solely about in-action games in the blink of an eye.

Really enjoyed playing the first game on the DS back in the day. Would be great to get a new game from this series, or even some kinda updated versions of the old ones.

I don't know what it is but there is something about low poly games with pre-rendered backgrounds that I find charming . It's weird because when I played DS games when I was a teen I was like: " man as a kid this looks like something I would play on the Playstation." and now that I am older and I see stuff like this I'm like:" this is something I would play on DS."

Sphere hunter yessss

im 23 so i was about 14-15 when smartphones really took over but listening to part when you explained what having a ds allows the character to do like reading files or taking pictures really surprised me lol like yeah these things werent always possible, i kinda forgot about that

Great video. I never knew this series existed but it seems like you did it great justice. But between the two games in the video which do you personally prefer?

Thank you for reviewing old games, youtubers always tend to review only the newest hippest games

17:39 oh, the nostalgia. Here we come, Kyle!
