Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club Launches August 29th 2024 For Switch

Following the cryptic teaser, Nintendo has officially revealed Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club.

As the full title implies, the game is a brand new entry in the Famicom Detective Club series, 30 years after the previous game was released. It is helmed by series producer Yoshio Sakamoto, and will follow the Utsugi Detective Agency as they investigate a series of murders involving the titular Emio. The game will release on August 29th 2024 for Switch.

You can check out a link to the full reveal video below, in the form of a chat with the producer Sakamoto:

The next installment in the Famicom Detective Club series is on its way! Investigate a crime and unmask the truth in a dark, twisted thriller when the Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club game launches on the Nintendo Switch™ system Aug. 29.

In Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club, a student has been found dead in a chilling fashion, his head covered with a paper bag with an eerie smiling face drawn on it. This unsettling visage bears a striking resemblance to a recurring clue in a string of unsolved murders from 18 years ago,as well as Emio (the Smiling Man), a killer of urban legend who is said to grant his victims “a smile that will last forever.”

Play the role of an assistant private investigator with Utsugi Detective Agency, where you are tasked with helping police solve this crime. Along the way, scrutinize the clues and testimonies you gather for potential connections to the gruesome events of the past.
