Adventure Gamers - Forums

The Wii has a good number of adventure games, probably because of it’s controls and success a lot of PC games were ported for it. However exclusive adventures were not very abundant.
Another Code: R – A Journey into Lost Memories was built for the Wii by Cing and was the sequel to the successful DS game. Like the DS game, Cing uses the full extent of the Wiimote capabilities with some new gameplay ideas and not just the usual waggle (although there is still plenty of waggling going on). Game looks good, lots of dialogue, even possible to make some decisions and give different answers. It follows the story of a more grown up Ashley in a visit to her terrible father but checking it out this week I’ve noticed I never finished it, I’ll have to get it someday.

And rip Cing , WiiU and 3DS are missing you…

You can use the dolphin emulator (getting the dvd drive that is supported by it is a bit of a pain though). That’s the way I play my old wii games, I got rid of the wii but the emulator is actually a better experience for a lot of games.

Just a little snippet about the games unusual puzzles that I found interesting:

As everybody knows the controller Wiimote has the buttons A, B, 1, 2, - , + and direccional buttons.
The protagonist of the game (Ashley) also has a Wiimote-like device to unlock doors. You have to point it at the lock and input the code that shows up. The first one is something like “AB12” so you just press those buttons in the Wiimote. Second one is “21B3” so you I had to press 2, 1, B but for the 3 you had to actually 1, +, 2 in the wiimote and so on. Sounds deceptively simple of course but I was not used to look at the controller buttons that way and I think it’s an example of how Cing used to look at all the possibilities of the interface. (like they did in the DS Another Code).
