New entry in the Famicom Detective Club series? Didn't have that on my bingo card.

I kinda did after they remade the first 2.
Easy day 1 for me. Sometimes I had to check a guide, but the games were enjoyable. I'm looking forward to a modernized entry.

I have yet to pick the remakes since I'm hoping for a physical release with English language support.
Yep, same.

I'm sure you'll be into it. Has solid anime artwork with that Nintendo polish. But yeah, they are literally NES games so sometimes it was a little cryptic, hence the guide.
I'd imagine that wont be the case for a new entry.

Oh geez, I didn't know they were censored outside Japan...tired of that shit. Still haven't played Tokyo Mirage Sessions because of the terrible censorship in that.

That dumb rumor almost got me as well, lol.

so it's a visual novel?

If it's like the previous games, yes. Visual novel where you pick where to go from menus, and interview people for clues.

Awesome. I'll be interested to see how closely they stick to the 80s command select ADV formula or if they'll incorporate some of the design trends from what's come since. Some deeper reasoning mechanics in the vein of Ace Attorney or Your Turn to Die would be a welcome addition. I'm sure nintendo has some tricks up their sleeves as well.

Yosio Sakamoto is behind Emio?? Interesting,it never looked like a traditional horror game, searching for a serial killer is more visual novel fit
For me this is a lot better than Bloober i will check it out, i just hope it 'innovates' the genre in some way, i want to see some crazy Anime cutscenes and twists

I made the mistake of importing a beautiful collector's edition, but it doesn't support English.
the censorship is a nothing from what i can see.

Or people who clearly didn't play Eternal Darkness thinking it was a new Eternal Darkness game.

Thanks I hadn't caught this! Have the two remakes installed but haven't got to them yet.

Pretty much unless this new one wildly deviates it's basically a load of reading with some light environment exploration like Phoenix Wright. They are good games but only for people with an attention span as you really need to pay attention to put the pieces together.
People expecting pure horror are going to be really disappointed.
Yeah, no interest in this but it's cool a platform holder is still greenlighting shit like this. Meanwhile Xbox won't stop shutting down studios and laying people off, and PS is uninterested in anything that's not AAA or live service.

This thing could be fun but gamers no doubt will flip out because its no AAA horror game or Eternal Darkness sequel lol, to be honest if Nintendo was to show a project like that it would have been in a proper Direct such as last month, not a random,cryptic Youtube clip.
This project seems like something Sakamoto wanted to do while working on the Detective famicom games, and since visual novels on Switch are successful he got the chance to do so i hope it does well for him

Day ONE, I really enjoyed the originals
The censorship of the remakes was just in this one scene that hardly anyone saw. Apparently there's a point where you can touch a female NPC's boobs and she'll have increasingly annoyed responses, ending with putting you in jail. It was pretty hard to trigger unless you know about it in advance (or are kind of a weirdo). Granted, I'm not a fan of censorship, but I do think that encouraging the player to grope another character is kinda borderline...!
Whatever, these games are good and I'm excited for the new one.

I think he has a greenlight to just do anything he wants, but has never had his own set team or division. He's made some of the strangest games ever, including Tomodachi Collection, Miitomo, Rhythm Heaven. Does a ton of producing / directing of off-site teams not at Nintendo, like Tecmo and Mercury Steam.
The game will receive a US/EU physical release Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club

Looks super cool. Playing these titles on a Swicth OLED is delicious. Paranormasight was one of my favourite recent experiences.

The remakes were developed by MAGES, and it's probably the same case here.
Quite ironic to say in a year that they're constantly getting a lot of shit for not having AAA blockbusters.
