Have you heard about Emio? The sudden announcement of Nintendo's new horror game has left fans with more questions than answers. It seems that the game is going to be much darker than anyone expected. And knowing Nintendo, this strange behavior is nothing out of the ordinary.
On Wednesday, the company revealed a brand new horror game, which is quite unusual for them. The only thing we know so far is the name, Emio, or "The Smiling Man" in Japan. Other than that, there is no information on who is behind the game or where it came from. The only image released is of a creepy man wearing a paper bag over his head.
However, the age rating information from the Australian version of the trailer has revealed some shocking details. The game is said to feature strong themes of violence, suicide, cruelty, and domestic abuse. This is a far cry from the typical horror games we are used to seeing from Nintendo. It seems that they are taking a more serious approach to the genre this time.
Although it has not been officially confirmed, it appears that Nintendo is the publisher of Emio. The game was revealed simultaneously on all their websites and social media platforms, both in Japan and the West. This is a strong indication that they are taking this project seriously.
Nintendo has dabbled in horror games before with titles like Eternal Darkness and Project Zero. However, those games were more on the schlocky, fantastical side. Emio seems to be taking a much darker and serious tone. One thing to keep in mind is that Australia has strict content standards, so it is possible that they are overstating the severity of certain elements in the game.
Some fans have speculated that the developer behind Emio could be Bloober Team, the studio responsible for The Medium and the controversial Silent Hill 2 remake. While they have experience in the horror genre, their previous games have received mixed reviews. However, a recent comment from the studio about working on a low-budget Nintendo exclusive called "Project M" has sparked rumors. They mentioned collaborating with "the world's best game creators for Nintendo platforms," which could suggest their involvement in Emio.
But talking openly about this project may not sit well with Nintendo, especially since they refer to "platforms" in plural, hinting at a possible cross-gen release for the rumored Switch 2. As for a release date, Nintendo usually does not announce games too far in advance, so a Halloween launch could be a possibility.

It's interesting to note that Nintendo's president has mentioned that they will not embrace AI like other companies such as Xbox and EA. And in other news, the Wii U has officially been discontinued as Nintendo has run out of parts for repairs. But there is some good news for fans looking to purchase a Switch 2, as Nintendo has a plan in place to prevent scalpers from buying up all the consoles.
