As a long-time Nintendo fan and avid collector of classic games, I couldn’t contain my excitement when I heard the news that Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club is finally coming to the Nintendo Switch on August 29, 2024! I fondly remember playing the original Famicom Detective Club games back in the late 80’s and early 90’s, and the thought of experiencing a new adventure with Emio has me absolutely thrilled.


On their latest update for X, Nintendo revealed that the game “Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club” is set to be released on August 29, 2024.

As a dedicated gamer, I was thrilled to catch a glimpse of today’s announcement for the upcoming game featuring the enigmatic character, Emio. The trailer offered a brief sneak peek, but what really got me excited were the transitions from the grainy footage of the previous teaser to the crisp, vibrant art style that I’ve grown to anticipate in this game.

Additionally, this information verifies that Emio belongs to the Famicom Detective Club franchise, which was initially introduced by Nintendo in the late 1980s and features two iconic games.
