Another Code: Recollection Demo Launches on Nintendo Switch Ahead of January 2024 Release

Nintendo Celebrates Adventure Game Legacy With Another Code: Recollection Demo on Switch Fans of classic Nintendo adventure games have reason to rejoice, as Nintendo has launched a free playable demo for 'Another Code: Recollection' on the Nintendo Switch eShop.

This remastered compilation brings together two cult favorites—'Trace Memory' (known as 'Another Code: Two Memories' in some regions), originally developed by the late Cing studio for the Nintendo DS in 2005, and its sequel, 'Another Code: R – A Journey Into Lost Memories,' released on the Nintendo Wii in 2009. The 'Another Code' series centers on Ashley Mizuki Robbins, a teenager drawn into mysterious investigations involving missing persons and intricate puzzle-solving.

While 'Trace Memory' became a hidden gem on the DS, its follow-up, 'Another Code: R,' was never officially released in North America, limiting its audience.

Now, Nintendo is bridging that gap by giving both titles a modern overhaul and packaging them as 'Another Code: Recollection' for the Nintendo Switch. According to Nintendo, 'Another Code: Recollection' will feature updated visuals and refined controls, taking full advantage of the Switch hardware.

The collection offers both newcomers and longtime fans the chance to experience Ashley’s emotional journeys with contemporary enhancements.

Players curious about the remaster can jump in today—the demo is available for immediate download from the Switch eShop, allowing fans to get a feel for the upgraded gameplay and presentation ahead of the full release. 'Another Code: Recollection' is scheduled for release on January 19, 2024, exclusively on the Nintendo Switch.

This remaster not only reintroduces two memorable adventure titles but also preserves the innovative narrative and puzzle elements that made the series stand out.

The demo serves as an accessible way for both series veterans and new players to sample the games before launch.

Nintendo’s decision to revisit this unique franchise underscores the continued popularity of classic adventure games and the enduring legacy of Cing, the original developer behind the titles.

With the demo out now, interested players can explore the opening segments of Ashley’s story, setting the stage for the full version’s debut next month.

For a comprehensive look at the remastered gameplay and features, Nintendo has also released an official overview trailer on its YouTube channel.

With anticipation building for the January release, 'Another Code: Recollection' is poised to introduce Ashley Mizuki Robbins’ story to a new generation of Nintendo Switch players.
