Another Code Movie - DS

13th February 2005, 7:50pm
This movie surfaced in our forums a while ago (which proves you should register for them and get extra news that may or may not hit the main page), but its just so awesome we decided you deserve it too. Another Code is a Nintendo-developed RPG for the Nintendo DS system. Imagine a mix of Myst and RPGs with a Japanese anime influence, and you have Another Code.

It's beautiful. The bottom screen shows a top down perspective of the 3D world your character inhabits, while the top screen shows still renders of whatever you're facing. You can click around with the stylus to move closer to items, and solve puzzles like rearranging the broken pieces of a sign, or playing a tune on a piano. As previously mentioned, it's got a heavy Japanese influence both in look and sound. If you enjoyed the movie Spirited Away, chances are you'll enjoy playing the game. It's top of my wanted list for the Nintendo DS.

Oh, the video. It's there.
