[Review] Another Code: Recollection
Posted on 10 months ago by Nicholas Serpa in Reviews, Switch | 0 comments
System: Switch
Release date: January 19, 2024
Developer: Arc System Works / Nintendo
Publisher: Nintendo
It’s really a bit remarkable that, of all the long-dormant franchises Nintendo could have chosen to resurrect next, it was Another Code that they decided to give another chance. I’m totally here for it, both as a fan of narrative-driven adventure games, and as an advocate for the preservation and accessibility of older titles; I’m just surprised that it actually happened. Another Code: Recollection is a full remake of the 2005 DS game Another Code: Two Memories, as well as its Wii sequel, Another Code R: Journey into Lost Memories – the latter which never released in North America. While these puzzle-tinted mystery games have always been well-regarded by fans for their compelling premises and overall atmosphere, they never sold particularly well globally and generally received mixed reviews from critics; furthermore, the original development studio no longer exists, and both games were built around hardware features unique to their original platforms. Well, against all odds, we now have a reimagined collection of both titles sporting improved visuals and presentation, and even some narrative and gameplay changes. While I ultimately enjoyed my time getting to know the game’s charming protagonist and unraveling a moderately captivating mystery, Another Code: Recollection’s toothless writing and shallow moment-to-moment gameplay makes it a slightly niche recommendation.

Dragon Ball FighterZ producer “debated about adding Videl a lot”
Posted on 1 year ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Videl is one playable character for Dragon Ball FighterZ who wasn’t originally a surefire inclusion. Tomoko Hiroki, the game’s producer, originally had some skepticism.
In a recent interview, Hiroki pointed to Videl as a character that was hard to decide on. Ultimately the uncertainty came down to whether “it was right to have her fight on the same level as other more canonically powerful characters.” But after talking with different people involved with the project and coming up with the idea of having Great Saiyaman to assist her in battle, she was able to make the cut.
