You can play Nintendo's spookiest game as early as next week

As a seasoned gamer with years of sleuthing under my belt, I must admit that the upcoming release of Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club on Nintendo Switch has sent a shiver down my spine and piqued my interest in equal measure. With such a long hiatus since the last installment in 1997, this darker take on the classic series is sure to be a breath of fresh air in the otherwise bright and cheerful Switch library.

There’s an eerie vibe brewing at Nintendo, as the enigmatic game titled “The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club” has finally set its release date on the Nintendo Switch. The cryptic Emio generated quite a buzz when it unveiled a teaser trailer for the mysterious character named “Emio”, showcasing a well-dressed individual wearing a bag over their head.

The long-awaited game “Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club” marks the first addition to the Famicom Detective Club series in 27 years, since 1997’s “BS Tantei Club: Yuki ni Kieta Kako.” After a long hiatus, it seems that the wait has been rewarding as this game is significantly darker than most games on the Switch.

Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club lands a release date on Switch

Nintendo has officially announced that the game titled “Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club” will be available starting on August 29th. In this game, you assume the role of an assistant private investigator as you attempt to locate the terrifying character known as Emio, also known as the Smiling Man, who is rumored to be a myth in urban legends.

A student was discovered deceased, with a paper bag displaying Emio’s chilling smile, leading to an investigation as the authorities strive to unravel a 18-year-old cold case murder. Could this be the reemergence of the legendary serial killer, or is it someone mimicking the atrocities committed by the Smiling Man?

In an exciting new development for the Famicom Detective Club series, Ayumi Tachibana, a character you already know, can be controlled during certain parts of the game. Working together as a formidable team, you’ll delve deeper into this gripping tale, filled with elements of suspicion, isolation, and vulnerability.

If you’re not yet convinced, we’ll be offering a free three-part demo starting from August 20. The initial demo will include the Prologue and Chapter 1, with Chapter 2 following on August 23 and Chapter 3 wrapping up the series by August 28.
