It's time for Nintendo to dare to make games for Adults, to risk something new.

I honestly don't know anything about them. I have some homework to do. I wonder if the project is in the early stages and it's planned for a few years out on Switch 2.Bloober are the masters of horror, no other studio comes even close. These sinister architects have been weaving nightmares and their games crawl under your skin, whispering malevolence. Bloober is a name carved in terror and Nintendo only partners with the best of the best

May I have a cookie?
Why would Nintendo announce it this early?

Didn't Nintendo upload a trailer?

I read the title as "Elmo" and got Sesame Street vibes immediately, then I saw it was a horror game and was like "oh neat.".

They've done it before
. If they need to hire for specifically for it, it's sometimes unavoidable. They did it for Smash Wii U/3DS, Kid Icarus Uprising, Metroid Prime 4, etc. Just depends on the situation.

Not talking about the trailer. Talking about the bloober team “news”

They make linear horror games with weird setpieces , but very little actual gameplay, they have good visuals but its more like an interactive movie

Aren't the two things directly related, tho? I feel like there's definitely something to this.

Where does it say anything about Emio here? Are you just speculating?
No, there is no link between the two beyond one post made by one random reset era poster who even said he is only speculating

So the direct quote from the Bloober CEO is entirely made up?

No, the Bloober CEO is talking about a game they are publishing for the Switch, which a separate developer is makingSo the direct quote from the Bloober CEO is entirely made up?
The Nintendo EMIO tease is for a Nintendo published game
As of right now there’s no link between these two completely independent things. My point is combining the two is misleading, especially when the basis to do so is one random reset era post.

Nintendo would never allow blooper to talk about this before formally announcing it if they were publishing it.So the direct quote from the Bloober CEO is entirely made up?

Good to know. Thanks! Yes that is misleading for sure

Well, ideally the teams would be in communication and coordinate how they want to announce a project, if they're collaborating. But we don't know what the agreement is yet. And it could be someone jumped the gun and is going to be in serious trouble if so.

This still has a chance to be great, just depends on how hands-on Nintendo are with it. Nintendo can elevate a mid studio to a great one if they provide some decent hands-on through the creative & technical process. Although since this is seemingly a more mature horror-themed game, there's a chance they could be hands-off.
So I'm hopeful Nintendo are more involved in the game's process than, say, SIE have seemingly been with the Silent Hill 2 remake. Because that game looks pretty rough in places and not translating vital parts of the original game's atmosphere or ideology into the new iteration (IMO, based on what's been shown so far).

I believe this is actually the beginning of the Switch 2 reveal.
Fun Fact: NX was talked about vaguely in July 2016
Switch Lite: July 2019
Switch OLED: July 2021
Nintendo SHOULD have been working with 3rd parties to grab exclusives or partnerships With all that Switch cash they made. Hopefully this horror game is the first of many 3rd party collaborations.

Probably.
Bloober have been working on a 'Project M' for Nintendo, so it's likely Emio. They officially announced that Draw Distance were the developer for Project M last year but have since parted ways with them and continued work on the project in-house.

I guess Nintendo is sold on SH2, as it is.

Probably cheap to employ. They release a game pretty much every year since their games aren't that big. SH2 remake is probably their biggest project thus far.

It's not. A couple of clowns from reee made some vague assumptions and now its all over the web but there is 0 solid proof this is a blooper game.

Eternal darkness reboot is my guess.
