Nintendo Revives Famicom Detective Club with Emio – The Smiling Man

The first new entry in the series in 35 years introduces a dark, twisted thriller involving a mysterious urban legend.

Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club will launch on August 29, 2024, for the Nintendo Switch.
The game revolves around a murder case where victims are found with a smiling paper bag over their heads.
Players will act as assistant private investigators solving the mystery connected to unsolved murders from 18 years ago.
Series producer Yoshio Sakamoto returns to lead the project, continuing from the 2021 remakes.
The game is described as a thriller rather than a full-blown horror, featuring a potentially divisive ending.
