Actually, on that note, I didn’t recognize hardly any puzzles from the original game.

This actually makes me excited about a possible Hotel Dusk remake, as I just recently finished it (again) it would feel way fresher to experiment it with the Switch hardware (although I feel it would be boring compared to the DS NGL but exciting because it would be like a HD 2.0).

TBH, I’m surprised they’re remade this game (Games?) for a couple of reasons.

My understanding is that Hotel Dusk is much more popular series, and Lost Window flunked because no one knew it was a Hotel Dusk sequel. Those games need the Recollections treatment.
Another Code: R was supposed to lead to a sequel starring the game’s deuteragonist, Matthew Crusoe. I feel like it would make more sense to make the third game in the saga than to remake the first two.

(But that said, there were significant changes in the first game on Switch—mostly to resolve retcons made in R—so maybe they added more to Matthew’s story in R’s remake? I haven’t gotten that far yet)

I think they wanted to play safer as Hotel Dusk was a Nintendo DS only title and the way it was played was holding it like a book, which I guess would require a bit of more thought to translate to the Switch.

Regardless, it is not like Another Code didn't use too much of the DS hardware as you have pointed out (I haven't played it, so this remake is on point for me), so maybe they think if this less known game does well they can go safe with HD? IDK.

Normally I'd agree with you, but Another Code: R interprets the Hotel Dusk/Last Window split screen gimmick quite well, and they used it in the Switch game as well.
