Based on PJ's section of the review I was surprised the final score was only 7/10. Zion's commentary clarifies where the shortcomings are, but if I'd only watched the first half of the video I'd be baffled why this didn't score higher since the reviewer seems to have mostly praise. I get that some games can do everything right and still not be a full 10/10 experience, but the reviewer needs to inject that a bit more into the review.
I agree. I was expecting a 8/10 at the minimum.
100% Agreed. It really was poorly-written, making us feel like the game was incredible during the first half of the video.
It felt like an IGN review, and not in a good way
That is one real weird review. It was like good cop bad cop. As @paperluigi6132 said it was IGN review. The ones that get memed. Really really strange
This has to be the first time a Nintendo Life review compares unfavourably to IGN.
Yeah, we need a Hotel Dusk and Last Window collection on the switch. Also Last Window ended in a huge cliffhanger. I really need a third entry in Kyle Hyde's story.
Nintendo please make hotel dusk, that would be amazing! I never played these games back in the day, but I am excited to try them out. I decided to take a chance on buying this and I hope I’m not let down. 7/10 does not make me happy, would think it would get 8 at least but still excited to try them out
7/10 is bad?
@@thecunninlynguist I guess not but I would have hoped for an 8 for something like this. I was just a little shocked to hear a 7
@@dtheman8414 why? what makes a 7 worse than an 8? Numerical and alphabetical scores never made much sense.
I can’t say what a Switch remake of Hotel Dusk would be like, because it entirely relied on the DS’s hardware, holding it sideways like a book and interacting with the touchscreen. If you have a 3DS, it’s definitely worth tracking down a copy of the game if you’re interested in it. I loved Hotel Dusk.
But on the Switch? It will likely have to be way too different to have anything like the same experience.
That said, if Nintendo wanted to give us a wholly new Kyle Hyde mystery designed for the Switch, I’d be eagerly on board.
@@joebove4 just make it handheld only, problem solved
I like the new artstyle and it's super cool to have this series back in full fledged 3D with (occassional) voice acting, but I can already say from the few hours I've played that the charm of the original artstyle and the pre-rendered backgrounds will never be topped. Also, scanning origami cranes with QR codes, while a fun idea, isn't as cool as finding cartridges with messages.
It is hard to replace the 2D art of the original. Even today the art on the DS version is pretty stunning and unique
I agree with you for the most part. One thing I did like though was that the mansion felt a lot more like a real house. As cool as the maze like manor was in the original, I always thought it was a strange layout for a house.
My biggest gripe with this remake though is how much of the story details, especially concerning the Edward family, are left out. There were more journals, letters, and photographs that helped flesh the story out more in the original.
@@XDanW91 Having just completed the remake I agree with you on the house. The aesthetics in general are amazing. But I also agree on the story suffering greatly with a lot of details missing. I also felt there were not nearly as many puzzles this time.
Conclusively the remake is a fine entry point for new fans and I'm glad it exists, but it is no replacement for the original.
@@ts7844 Nah.
It's weird. I LOVED Trace Memory on the DS. Played through it so many times. Never got to play the sequel since I'm Canadian. But I forgot almost everything from the original game. Playing through this game, it was really like I was experiencing the story again for the first time. And I loved it all over again. But I have no idea what was cut or changed from the original.
it's worth it in the chance it leads to a Hotel Dusk collection...plus theyu're pretty good game in themsevles
1000000% agreed
This review will ensure you won’t see a Hotel Dusk now and that’s a shame, for me I still want this game since I never played it, so I have no nostalgia for the original games.
I played the demo on the Switch and I really enjoyed it. I think there's an intriguing story there that is not just for teens (I'm in my 40's) and I found the puzzles in the demo to be challenging enough without being frustrating or overwhelming (although getting the key out, while a clever concept was a bit frustrating in the execution). I am looking forward to playing the full game.
The dunk on Call of Duty players made me crack a smile.
Dunking on cod players? wow thats so original and brave
dunno, It felt like some dork sayin "look Im smort I dont need objective markers". Like COD invented objective marks
I wrote it. Just having a laugh lads! ❤
@@icespicefan4771it’s a dirty job but someone’s gotta do it
Dunking on COD players is fun 😂😂
I got both games day one back when they launched and I have fond memories of them. I can't wait for tomorrow.
I can't wait to get my copy, this short series never really hit my radar back then and after hearing so much of it years later, I'm glad I finally have a chance to experience both games. I definitely want Hotel Dusk and Last Window to get the same treatment, I'd be interested in knowing how they would approach the iconic pencil sketch-y character portraits. One implication I hope gets explored from this release and hopefully a Hotel Dusk and Last Window remake would be that these short lived series from long ago get new entries as well to continue on their narratives because for me someone like Kyle Hyde has an ongoing story that I would very much want to see more of.
Thanks for doing what Nintendo refuse to do in their marketing for Recollection - showing some footage of the second game!
Maybe since it’s the first time the sequel is coming to North America, they want to keep things under wraps as much as possible to heighten the sense of surprise for those who don’t know (like me).
@@paperluigi6132 Perhaps. They didn't have to show story-related stuff though. Just some more shots of Ashley running around beautiful Lake Juliet would've sufficed.
Hope you enjoy the game. Another Code R is one of my favourite games of all time 🫡
Showing the second one is kind of spoil
I'm excited for Another Code: Recollection's release tomorrow. I was curious when I first seen this remake of the two got announced and had no idea what it was. I took a look at some of the original gameplay for the game and I loved it. I was amazed to see how much the first game had been rebuilt from the ground up with its puzzles and environments for the Switch especially when I played through the demo. As its got me excited to see what other remakes that we could get like this from the DS that improves upon the original gameplay for a modern console.
It's surprising I know the most shocking thing for me since I played it in the DS days was probably the fact that it had true voice acting honest to god voice acting and it sounds amazing 😻
Well princess get ready cause this will be a nostalgia adventure memory.
@@isaaclee8671 indeed 😁
Just finished playing Another Code: Two Memories as someone who adored Trace Memory as a kid (I beat that game in one day and stayed up way too late to make sure I beat it one day again), and I could feel some differences in the back of my mind (I kept dreading the accursed "close your DS" puzzle as it was the ONLY ONE I couldn't do my first go-around of Trace Memory), and I ran into some glitches with the DAS that were annoying, but I really absolutely adored the game and the visuals of the remake. The story is SO GOOD, D is my baby boy, and I'm so excited to finally get to play the sequel!!
I never played the Wii game despite wanting to get it so many times (I just had a limited budget and other games were higher on my priority list) and I never owned a DS, but those games have always intrigued me. And after playing the demo I immediately went and purchased the full game. That's how engrossed I was in the story! And since I don't mind slower games at all (I like a soft experience once in a while), this game is definitely for me. We'll see how it goes but I'll definitely start playing it again tomorrow when it officially releases!
I remember I too was around 13-14 yo when I played Another Code and not only was it my first Nintendo DS game, but it also introduced me to the adventure novel genre. So glad to see Ashley and co. are getting a remake! This one and Hotel Dusk were my favorite games of all times (and still are). Even if there are some differences between the remake and the original, I'll think of giving it a try to feel a bit of the nostalgia and see the story through another perspective thanks to the animations and the dubbing. But not gonna lie, what makes me happier is that more people will be able to experience this game series with its revival!
Thanks for the review!
Hard to fathom I was around Ashley's age when I played the original DS game. In fact, in that game Ashley's birthday is the year 1991 plus the date of the player's birthdate, so since I myself am born in 91 I thought it was one hell of a "coincidence" that her exact birthdate was the same as mine 😅It was fate, I tell you!
i think I was 15 when I first played the DS Original, I remember it was mind blowing that Ashley and myself had the same birthday lol
I thought the same (also born in 1991), and I actually got this game on my 14th birthday. I had no idea it just used the birthday saved on the DS 😅. Shame they never included that feature on the Switch remake.
@@XDanW91 Well the Wii sequel gave her a canon birthdate, which they kept fot the remake. But yeah, if you weren't aware of that feature, then it was mindblowing to have the same birthdate as the main character 😅
91 gang
Zion’s half of the review was so much more informative, critical and balanced that it really leaves you wondering why NintendoLife doesn’t leave behind this awkward Frankenstein format of “written by some random dude, made into a video by me”. The consistency of a critic’s voice is important. I never know whose “voice” I’m actually hearing when I watch a NL review.
I think the video reviews are pretty good at denoting when the original review ended and the video editor puts in their own thoughts - Alex usually puts in a whole transition, which I think would've helped your complaint if Zion had done that too. I like the video team adding on their own thoughts as they can give extra context and some extra anecdotal thoughts, but yeah, in this case, Zion's section felt like it overshadowed the actual original review. (Kind of makes me wonder if maybe it was better if Zion just handled the whole review of this game from top to bottom.)
@@jaykebird2go You agreed with the guy you replied to but worded it like you were disagreeing with him and it was your own idea.
I played Hotel Dusk back in the day and loved it! I missed Trace Memory, however, and always wanted to play it. Sounds like it's worth trying out, but maybe not at the $60 price point. Thanks for the review!
I have fond memories of playing the original back on the DS and that one puzzle using the two screens still sticks in my mind.
I've only recently started playing the sequel on Wii and although it is a very clunky experience, I'm finding it charming and pretty good, considering how long ago it was released.
I downloaded the demo on the Switch for the remake and so far, apart from the visuals, which are really lovely, feel somewhat underwhelmed by it, which is a real shame as this was one of the new releases in 2024 I was most looking forward to. This and Apollo Justice collection.
Will probably wait for a decent sale on it before I consider picking this up.
Oh my goodness I was waiting for someone to mention that damn puzzle. I literally spent a good 10min staring at that thing trying to tug on every milimeter of the screen. My fucking face when I tossed my DS on the bed in a fit of rage and accidentally solve the thing. I don't think I've encountered another puzzle game with that kind of literal out of the box thinking
Got a bit confused but what was the issue with the coin when they were showing the side by side?
I started the second game on the wii but due to not having the console available now, i never finished it. this collection seems to be quite good but i remember the wii version having some insanely creative solutions for puzzles. Is this version on the same level or maybe close? i
i'm wondering if i should wait until i get my wii back or play this version
I think this is the only Nintendo youtube channel that doesn't talk about an imaginary console that Nintendo might be working on. Kudos for you.
I mean I know that some people go to far with the rumors and click bait and stuff, but to say it's an "imaginary console that Nintendo might be working on" is kinda silly. The switch is 7 years old, which is already pretty old for a console, and I couldn't find it but I swear I heard way back in the first like year or 2 that they intended for an 8 year lifespan, regardless the switch is just so old that there's absolutely 0 chance they're not working on a new console, and by working on, I mean devs probably already have dev units, I highly doubt it'll release later than like holiday 2025
Wow, I played Trace Memory way back as well. Never knew there was a second game in the series. I also absolutely cannot remember if I finished or any of the story beats, but I remember having a lot of fun playing it. Crazy that it got a remake, so definitely going to pick this up. Thanks for such an honest review!
Thanks for covering this, i just got the game (preordered during christmas).i was so damn excited to see this bc it means more hope for hotel dusk being ported and ive never had the chance to play it. Plus knowing theresxa hint system is a hugecrelief, im not so good at finding even obvious clues😅 plus this means my mum who is not a gamer can maybe try it and see how she feels since it seems like a mystery story and she loves those.
Thanks for touching on the blurry textures, I found that to be quite jarring in the demo especially when Ashley's model looks amazing! It's a shame because this game deserved better. Maybe we can hope for a Switch 2 port with higher res textures 🤞
I need some help on this part of the second game right now I don’t know what to do with the arrow going the other way with the r symbol
I think my favourite part of recollection has to definitely be the new hint system it's absolutely a god send
I'm really excited to play these remakes. I played the original DS Another Code last year and loved it.
Silver hair is trendy & stylish cool!! 😎👍🏻
I had a weird fascination with this series, only cause I remember seeing ashley in the smash bros. Brawl sticker collection
I bought and played the game in the last couple years, was sad to hear no NA port of the sequel
Now im excited to try both remakes, I was expecting some hiccups with graphics and gameplay from such different harfware, but it makes me giddy to see remakes of cult games that can get talked about again
I LOVED Another Code on DS back in the day, I too was Ashley's age at the time and it was such a great game/story, played it multiple times back in the day. I got the Wii version but never played it. Picking these up for sure, shame they're not quite as good as the originals but happy and surprised to see a remake.
3:08 Casper also had amnesia.
The title is familiar, but I have no other memory of this series... Seem like I missed out on something. I am, however, just starting to play Boku no Natsu Yasumi on PS2 (a backup version) - which is a game that also starts with arriving somewhere on a ferry, and also seems to be largely about the atmosphere and strengthening family connexions. So far it's a really nice time.
Btw, Another Code is really Nintendo in-house?
The ost from the second game really made the experience
Hopefully this leads to getting the Hotel Dusk series. Loved both series!
I can't wait to pick up my copy. A friend had sent me his copy of Trace Memory back in the day as he wanted to get rid of it, and omg I loved every second of that game...must have played through it at least 20 times. My love for Trace Memory even led to me buying Hotel Dusk and importing a PAL copy of Last Window, both of which I also loved ( side note: the mentioned puzzle that loses something without the DS's capabilities...there's a similar moment in Hotel Dusk that I can see having the same issue. if you know you know ). I too hope this duology remake leads to a Kyle Hyde duology remake ( never feels right to me saying Hotel Dusk series/franchise....it's just the 1st game's location. I always preferred to use the protagonist Kyle Hyde's name for the series )...and ffs Nintendo PLEASE localize Buddy Mission Bond
I immediately pre-ordered this game after trying the demo. I was intrigued by the games announcement, but I wasn't sure if it was worth the investment. I can happily say it was worth it
Looks pretty good but the don't know if worth 60 in my opinion
It worth 2k to me, so yes it's worth it very much
I remember Trace Memory, but I didn't get very far. I finished Hotel Dusk though, would love to see a remake of that, maybe. I remember parts of it were way too long and repetitive, but overall enjoyed it.
I pre-ordered with one day shipping, but Amazon apparently will be delivering on February 5th at the earliest /:(
Honestly, this game looks so pretty! I kind of wanted to pick it up just for the visuals alone, but I think I'll have a good time with the gameplay too. That being said, I am disappointed by the low-res textures too, it is a shame that dealing with low-quality textures feels like such a common issue with the Switch. The lack of touch controls is also disappointing, especially since playing this in handheld mode would probably help mask some of the texture problems. Still, I'm probably going to be playing this mostly on TV anyway, and I'm still excited to give it a go!
I’ve never played an Another Code game but got a DS back then. Have ordered it and can’t wait to play !
Hopefully this game does well enough to warrant a remake of the Hotel Dusk series:)
Can you imagine if they did Hotel Dusk and it had a Noir Mode/Filter?
yooo yes please. It'd be nice to get Last Window as well, cos god knows I'm not spending $150+ on a copy
i didnt play the game on the ds. i will try it very soon. hopefully it is good
never played Trace Memory but heard of it and the sequel that never came here, and I have the Switch collection, and just finished the 1st story, and loved the experience playing it.
Does it require controllers with motion controls? My joycons have bad drift so I use an 8BitDo controller that doesn’t have motion controls.
The first puzzle needs you to tilt the console to get some keys
The atmospheric vibe of this reminds me of fragile dreams. I wish that game got a remake Dx
One of the first games I played on the DS, alongside SM64DS. As good as SM64DS was, I was hooked with Trace Memory or Another Code as I prefer that to be the game's title. The art style was incredibly striking and while the game was short, it was just about enough to be one's introductory to the adventure genre or still be entertaining for people who are used to it.
And yes, everyone who played the DS game remembers the puzzle which Phantom Hourglass ripped-off of.
It's unfortunate that there are some drawbacks to this remake, but it's such a big part of me that I'll be sure to get. Call it a blind purchase, I suppose.
I never got to play Trace Memory back in the day but I'm intrigued after playing the demo
I played it on the DS. Very good game. I can't wait to play it again and it's sequel
Review of Another Code Recollection: Although technically better in almost every way to the original games (of which I played both), it's spiritually nowhere near as appealing, as the remaster essentially attempts to upgrade them into "Life is Strange: Anime Edition", but it does everything slightly worse and more stale/outdated compared to something like Life is Strange, and in general it feels very much like a very bland and middling subpar version of better games in the genre.
I think that those with extreme nostalgic memories of Tracy Memory/Two Mmeories, and especially those with vivid memories of playing the sequel Another Code R, will be thoroughly entertained by the ongoing "whoa, this is what I remember playing, but with voices & 3D environments & stuff!" feeling. New players will be left with a feeling of "tis was okay". Overall just very "meh". as far as an actual game is concerned.
It loses the charm that made the originals so good. As someone who played the original Another Code R, I can tell you that for all its flaws, lack of voice acting, and general late 2000s Wii jank, I prefer the original version. The version in this is technically better in almost every way (and they included a new plot twist, which was a nice surprise for anyone who played the original), but as a result the game just ends up being a very okay, and vaguely enjoyable experience. Whereas the original game, for as janky and flawed as it was, felt much more emotionally fulfilling--because it was such a clear janked up passion project sequel to an obscure (and not that critically well received) game that was clearly made because those involved just felt passionately about Ashley & her story and wanted to tell you more. Which is a feeling this version just completely lacks. It seems weird to critize a game for being "too good", I know, but here we are. That is the exact problem. It loses its charm and thus it loses any reason for really being loved so fondly.
Overall (TLDR); The middling low 70s metacritic is entirely fair. It's a technically better game, but at the consequence of removing the charm that made the originals, particularly the Wii sequel, actually appealing in the first place). What you're left with is a very 'okay' game that isn't really anything special, and just leaves you with a somewhat bland feeling.
The most fair review 👌🏻
Supposedly a demo save can be loaded on final release game but no presented method of actually doing that. Anyone know how?
When I started up the game, it auto detected the demo save data and asked if I wanted to load from where I left off.
The game is pretty
Playing the demo now, a little slow for my liking but I assume it gets better after the opening tutorial hours. A surprisingly pretty game for a DS remake too!
If you get it, let me know if it picks up the pace. I thought the demo was slow too and it didn’t have a lot of exploration.
It doesn't get much better gameplay wise. I've replayed the original recently because I remembered to no not liking it that much in the past and I remembered why: the story does get a little better and it is interesting to follow until the end, but both the puzzles and the exploration remains painfully simple all the way through the game. Nowadays I would only recommend this for really begginer gamers or for someone that wants to have a purely relaxing time without having to think too much about anything. And I wouldn't recommend paying full price for any of these cases, really it is sensibly overpriced as it is.
@@fcepulliIs the story the best part? Of so, it may have me sold.
@@fcepulli simplicity is good I don’t like difficult games so there’s plenty of older games I won’t revisit because of the difficulty. It’s the one thing I’m thankful for with modern games that they’re more simplified.
Haven't played it yet, so good timing! Cheers and rock on!
So far I've only played the demo, but it's amazing and I can honestly say that it might get among my favourite games of all time if it can keep up this level of mystery and fun.
Don't really get the cod players reference but that's actually pretty cool never thought I'd see that one happen in a Nintendo life video 🤣 on a side note bu bu burnnnnnnnnn nice job Zion
6:22 I did this too in the demo!
Really looking forward to this one. Loved the DS game and never got to play the Wii sequel. Day one purchase.
A good kid indeed, and that's another thing I appreciate about these games. They are a rare example of teenagers in media depicted as a nice person instead of a meanspirited toxic douchebag with an attitude problem.
Most teenagers are the latter so the media isn’t wrong but it’s nice that this game shows that teenagers can be nice.
@@Adamtendo_player_1 I know that most teenagers are assholes, but I thought games and movies were escapism where we try to imagine the world as something it is not. Then again, we also try to make entertainment as realistic and believable as possible so what the hell do I know. But yes, I wish more media depicted teenagers as the nice people they CAN be.
got the wii version as had bust shoulder wanted a game to play that wasnt requiring reflexs. now older and 11 year old daughter going grab it for her as i think shed love it
I don't have a Switch but like older Nintendo games... I was looking into the fact that Waluigi once had a website (...as one does) and got redirected to the Nintendo eShop... Saw this at the front page and was like "Ooh this looks pretty... Point and-click? I've been playing those lately! ls it on Steam?..." and just my luck it's a Nintendo game 😭
but l might look into playing the original game sometime, I still have my 2DS lying around...! Been meaning to also play Kingdom Hearts 358/2 cuz I guess I just really wanna be depressed while playing an old handheld...
You make it sound as if all the DS specific puzzles of the original (that I solved when I was 12), were difficult to figure out, are now easier because they don't utilize things like motion control, microphone etc but instead all revolve around a basic controller.
I never played any DS games. I was into PSP more but I’d like to try this out though
As some others have mentioned my only disappointment was for some reason they cut a chunk of side/backstory from the first game that you discover in letters and notes and also a certain big scene etc, so for me it felt a bit flat and not as impactful, I don’t know why they left it out
i have it for my switch also. strangley ahsley starts in the yard/forrest area just before the mansion, and not on the captians boat. i know there is nothing wtong i am doing, my copy of the game and switch are ok.
Just finish the first one, I am an hard-core lover of the original and I have to say it's incredible, it's so well made it's crazy, just sad the game doest use the switch possibility like the original did with the NDS, except that it's a perfect match
Never played these so I'm in for both. But Nintendo, please remake Hotel Dusk. That was an amazing game. There's hope then? :D
Loved this game and will play it again! Was never a dull moment and ran really well. I am glad the puzzle were not difficult. Getting stuck in hard puzzles ruins a game. I used the hints a few times to make sure I didn't get stuck for long. The hint system worked great. I will play this game again for sure.
Jett from valorant, from getting one taps to solving puzzles
nahh 😭😭
Never heard of this game series though i do like her hair color.
I bought this out of nostalgia, I am so glad to play this again. I also had no idea there was a second game so I will be playing that for the first time
I loved Trace Memory back in the day, but I'm glad the remake does away with a lot of the gimmicky controls of the earlier titles. I liked the touch controls back then, but I've grown out of it. The best part of Another Code has always been the story, and I'm happy being able to play it with a traditional pro controller. The few times it does implement motion controls, like with that stool early in the game, was kind of annoying honestly. Thankfully, the stool was the most annoying part of the game. And that kind of stuff was kept to a minimum. I loved this remake, and I hope Kyle Hyde's games get the same treatment.
Nobody can get a physical release of this anywhere in the UK
Will they make more Another Code games in the future? I hope so but I think it is unlikely
got this game not too long ago and really glad that i gave it a go
This review made me want to get the game!
Buying this for Hotel Dusk
I think so too 👍
I didn’t play these games Growing up but I played of mine favorite games, I remember
On the Nintendo GameCube Mario sunshine I give it 8/8 Beats game
The music Mario moves and challenges its so fun, and I’m so happy came out for the switch.
I think over all Nintendo did a really good job remaking the cult classic that is trace memory into something nice on switch I'll admit I was absolutely excited that it was coming to switch my jaw actually dropped from the excitement I felt
This game is so good, I'm begging for a Hotel Dusl remake next.
For me, as long as the story is good then I'm getting it.
Wow, it feels like Life is Strange busted the door open for this remake, not only in its updated gameplay style, but its existence.
@@phantomxero1x447 I do see a LIS reference in Ashley's clothes in the second game here.
Can I just say how absolutely gorgeous the artstyle looks like? it actually gives me some Pokemon vibes
The only thing I didn't like about the game's demo was the camera. It's too bad, and too close to the character.
It could be centralized and distant like the Zelda BotW camera.
It feels like Life is Strange and other adventure titles
As someone who enjoyed games liked teh ace attorney series, danganronpa and 13 sentinals games, this game does not deliver in the ways of big wham lines or twists, but has a beautiful presentation and a nice ride to playthrough especially the first game, the second one is definitly more cozier, but is stil enjoyable. The fully voiced English scenes are nice and the puzzles are nice to solve. I would say give it a try if you like story based games with a decent story, just dont expect any wtf moments
Why does the character always have a blush on wtf
I never finished playing this game on Nintendo ds back then
So take it as a novel, the story is worth it!
I know the first one's story was worth it!
But don't gonin expecting too much of the puzzles. They're there to give you a feeling of investigating yourself, but they aren't challenging or hard. Like Resident Evil, but with a mystery game and no zombies!
Between this and the Advance Wars remakes (and Golden Sun on NSO), it seems like Nintendo sees the fans of these niche forgotten series, but they don't seem interested in really throwing a big budget at them. This kind of seems like the curse of the Switch. Without a dedicated handheld device, every game is being looked at as a console game, even when Nintendo wants them to the have handheld budgets.
Do anyone knows who developed this game, like its really in-house with Nintendo? It can't be Cing.
Plus I think this game be a lot of fun to Try it
I really wanna buy this but I have no idea if there's any way to play this in handheld using my Hori joy-cons. I was playing the demo but was stopped dead in my tracks when the very first motion-based puzzle came up. Literally had NO way to tackle it and had to stop there which was a massive shame! Also baffling seeing as Hori are officially licensed by Nintendo, but that their joycons simply won't work.
The Hori Split Pad Pro has no gyro unfortunately. I would really like to see these devs add a no-motion option if you just want to use control sticks to tilt stuff.
The Switch system has its own gyro. It could still have worked with controllers that lack gyro if the devs had chosen to implement it. Maybe they'll add it in a later update.
@@DizzyDiddy I thought so too, but unfortunately that's an accelerometer. Would be harder to implement these puzzles with that.
I would rather use the original Joycons because I don’t like the way the Hori Split looks when it’s connected.
@@Adamtendo_player_1 Okay
With the bad textures on a lot of things and the simplified/downplayed puzzles from the original game, I think what we can ultimately take away is that Recollection is a nice return to a longdead duology that graphicswise looks modern and fantastic... but it has lost so much on the gameplay front. The remake is a nice enough entry point for new players... but if you fall in love with the remake, you OWE it to yourself to experience the original.
Havent played this back in 2005 so Life is Strange Nintendo version?
Better graphics than pokemon with similar models so that's a win for me
I got stuck in the demo. 😂 no matter how I twisted my controller, I just couldn't get the key out of the stool.
