A pretty good time with some heartfelt moments and a lovely HD-Wii aesthetic. A lot does feel pretty low budget but for the most part (other than some really noticeable lack of proper sound effects/mixing in cutscenes) I found the presentation charming. The pacing sometimes struggles especially in Another Code R however, and I can't help but feel that the stories being told here didn't fully connect with me. A story that leaned much more heavily into the messiness of family memories, idealization of parents, etc. I think would have been a home run but this pulls its punches a bit too often for my liking. Still I watched those credits with a big smile on my face so this did manage to end up endearing me to most of its characters by the end.

Edit: Upon looking up more about the original games, I think this remake actually needed way MORE hardware gimmicks. I liked any time the remakes forced some gyro controls for puzzles, but other than that things are pretty straightforward, and it really seems like one of the original selling points of the first Another Code was in just how many creative ways it used the DS. I'd almost have liked it if they just forced you to only play in handheld mode and used the touchscreen for more puzzles like the DS game, or hell the IR sensor on the right joy-con as well.
