    Oh neat, had no idea they were remaking Trace Memory, and that it had a sequel that never released outside of Japan.

      To clarify, it was released in Europe as well :)

      I played the Wii game, there was a EU version as well.

      It was… not very good from what little I can remember. Very slow paced with nothing much happening, and not even a lot of puzzles, some of which felt very similar to puzzles that were already in the DS game. I mostly remember being very bored through it.

      Whereas I have very good memories of the first one. That double mirror puzzle felt so good when I got it.

        Ah, so the US is just the outlier here. Shame that the sequel didn’t live up to the first game. There were so many fun puzzles that made you feel clever when you figured them out

          Funnily enough, I think the people at Nintendo of Europe must have thought it was boring too, because they announced it with a first trailer that was very obviously sped up.

          Like, lots of clips of Ashley running absurdly fast. Someone at the gaming forum I was in back then joked about the R in “Another Code R” meaning “Racing”.
