One week ago, completely out of the blue, Nintendo dropped a teaser for a new horror game referred to only as "Emio".
Rumours ran rampant that it was being developed by Bloober Team, and a rating later revealed that it would have themes of suicide, domestic abuse, and violence, a stark contrast to the usual Nintendo flagships.
Whoever this strange, laughing man is, he has me excited for the future of the house Mario built.
As it turns out, Emio is a new Famicom Detective Club game, the first in over 30 years.
Famicom Detective Club is a classic adventure game duology—comprised of The Missing Heir and The Girl Who Stands Behind—which was released in 1988 and 1989.
They were later remade in 2021 for Nintendo Switch, but there hasn't been a brand-new entry in 35 years. However, after seeing the reception to the remakes and returning to the series after so long, producer and writer Yoshio Sakamoto was inspired to make a brand-new game; "I knew we'd be able to make something good. So, I decided to do it."
The new video not only reveals that Emio is a new entry in the long-dormant Famicom Detective Club...
