Nintendo Announces Emio – the Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club One Week After Eerie Trailer Release
Last week, Nintendo left fans scratching their heads when it released a disturbing and cryptic trailer for an unannounced game. We no longer have to wonder what it is, as the company has revealed today that it’s the latest installment in the Famicom Detective Club series, which will be released on August 29 for Nintendo Switch.
In a new video posted to YouTube, Yoshio Sakamoto, lead writer and creator of the Famicom Detective Club series, has revealed that he is the producer of the latest installment in the franchise in 30 years: Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club. Sakamoto revealed that while the team was remaking the first two games, The Missing Heir and The Girl Who Stands Behind, he felt that Nintendo needed to continue the series beyond just those two games.
“This is the first new Detective Club game on the Famicom in 30 years, and I was involved in everything,” Sakamoto explained. “From the foundations of the plot to the little details of the story and cutscenes.”
In Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club, players take on the role of a private detective assistant investigating the murder of a student who was the victim of Emio, the Smiling Man, according to the product page on Nintendo’s official website. In addition to an all-new story, Ayumi Tachibana, the protagonist of The Missing Heir, returns as a playable character in certain sections of the game.
Emio – The Smiling Man is the first new Famicom Detective Club game in over three decades, and follows the Switch remakes of Famicom Detective Club: The Missing Heir and The Girl Who Stands Behind, both announced and released in 2021 on Nintendo’s hybrid gaming console.
