Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
Another Code: R – A Journey into Lost Memories for Nintendo Wii
Another Code: R – A Journey into Lost Memories for Nintendo Wii follows sixteen-year-old Ashley Robbins two years after Another Code: Two Memories. She travels to Lake Juliet to visit her frequently absent father, Richard. There, new questions emerge about Project Another, the memory research her parents worked on and the death of her mother, Sayoko. Ashley also becomes involved in the troubles of a boy named Matthew Crusoe.
You explore the lakeside area in a story-driven point-and-click adventure. Using the Wii Remote, you point at arrows, people and objects, search scenes and choose conversation topics. Ashley uses her DAS camera and the True Another System to record clues and solve memory-based puzzles. Diaries, photographs and statements complement one another; careful reading matters more than quick reactions.
The watercolour-like visuals and lengthy conversations give the game the feel of an interactive mystery novel. Puzzles use the Wii Remote’s buttons, pointer, speaker and motion sensor. The campaign is exclusively single-player and was released in Europe and Japan, but not originally in North America. Everything is on the disc; network features and a Nunchuk are not required.
Region and language
Our Nintendo Wii games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Another Code: R – A Journey into Lost Memories supports one player and uses only a Wii Remote. A Nunchuk and an internet connection are not required. The complete European adventure is on the Wii disc.
Manual
Another Code: R – A Journey into Lost Memories for Nintendo Wii includes the manual unless the product title states otherwise. If the booklet is missing, the title says “No Manual”. This lets you see before ordering whether the game comes with a manual.
The manuals included with our games usually contain at least English and often around six European languages. The exact languages vary by edition, so Dutch is not always included. The booklet explains the controls and the main rules. You can use it to check how to control the game, which actions are available and how its different features work.
The history of Another Code: R – A Journey into Lost Memories
Japanese studio Cing developed Another Code: R for Nintendo as a sequel to the 2005 Nintendo DS game Another Code: Two Memories. The Wii version was released in Japan on 5 February 2009 and in Europe on 26 June. Writer Rika Suzuki and the team returned to Ashley Robbins, but moved the mystery from Blood Edward Island to the larger setting of Lake Juliet.
Cing initially designed the controls with possible Nunchuk puzzles in mind, but ultimately chose the Wii Remote as the sole input device. Pointing, rotating, buttons and the built-in speaker became parts of different puzzles. The story grew broader than in the short DS instalment: family memories, Project Another and Matthew’s search unfold alongside one another through lengthy conversations and several chapters.
Another Code: R became one of Cing’s final games before the studio closed in 2010. The European Wii disc consequently remained the only official Western release of Ashley’s second adventure for many years. Nintendo later remade both stories for Nintendo Switch in Another Code: Recollection. That retelling changes scenes, visuals and puzzles; those alterations are not part of this original 2009 Wii version. The Wii disc therefore tells its own version of Ashley’s return.

Zack & Wiki also uses the Wii pointer to examine objects and solve environmental puzzles. The pirate adventure is more comical and lets you move tools directly within individual levels. Another Code: R features longer conversations, a connected family mystery and puzzles involving memory, photographs and the Wii Remote’s features.
Both are leisurely Wii mysteries with plenty of conversations, investigation and pointing. Agatha Christie follows a murder case on an isolated island and uses an inventory with traditional object-based puzzles. Another Code: R focuses on memory and family, uses modern devices and presents its surroundings in a softer watercolour style.
Evil Under the Sun has Poirot question witnesses and combine evidence to reconstruct a murder. Another Code: R follows a teenager and intertwines two personal mysteries involving parents and memories. Both reward careful reading, but Another Code uses the Wii Remote’s motion, speaker and pointer more directly in its puzzles.
Secret Files uses a traditional cursor, extensive inventory combinations and an international conspiracy. Another Code: R stays largely around Lake Juliet, has fewer object combinations and devotes more time to conversations and memories. Both are single-player games that let you investigate locations systematically without combat or time pressure.
Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars – Director's Cut uses a pointer on Wii for conversations, objects and traditional inventory puzzles. George and Nico investigate an international conspiracy involving more locations and characters. Another Code: R stays around Lake Juliet and ties its puzzles more directly to family, memory and the Wii Remote’s special features.
