Nintendo gets dark with detective game Emio


All smiles.

Sure, it’s not straight-up horror as the early teasers suggested, but even still, Emio — The Smiling Man is among the darkest games Nintendo has ever made. Created by Metroid designer Yoshio Sakamoto, the games originally never launched outside of Japan, until a pair of surprise remakes hit the Switch in 2021. The game tells the story of a series of murders involving a killer who both wears a paper bag with a creepy smiley face and also puts one on his victims.
