Hotel Dusk: Room 215 is an excellent visual novel for the DS, released after the success of the Ace Attorney series. The game had a sequel, which much like Trace Memory's sequel didn't get a North American release, called Last Window: The Secret of Cape West, which became the last game developed by CiNG before they went bankrupt.

Debug Menu

Use the following Action Replay code in the European version, hold Select while loading a save to enter a debug menu where you can see any events and images you want (note that you'll need to activate the cheat after the intro logos have finished displaying or the game will lock up). The version number doesn't differ between versions and the date only exists in the European version, wherein it exists twice in the ARM9 binary.
