Nintendo has uploaded a mysterious video titled “Emio” across multiple regions, hinting at a new M-rated game for the Nintendo Switch. The teaser includes the hashtag #WhoIsEmio but offers no additional details. The Japanese text at the end of the video seems to translate to “Smiling Man.”. The Japanese trailer links to a teaser website which you can view here.
If you cannot view the video above then check out the ones from the other regions:
UPDATE: Emio is rated MA 15+/Restricted 13 in Australia for:
- Strong Themes
- Violence
- Suicide References/Themes
- Cruelty
- Domestic Abuse
UPDATE 2: The IGN Nintendo Voice Chat podcast discussed the reveal of Emio, and while they don’t have any concrete details, they claim to have the inside scoop on who’s not involved. According to the discussion in Ep. 718, IGN says they “have reputable sources who say it’s probably not a Bloober Team game.”

I want this to be a game starring Waluigi that isn't about dancing....or it could be about dancing too I guess.

4M agoI'm just gonna make the claim now: This is the spiritual successor to that Sadness project from the Wii era. It just took 22 years to finally get it moving.

3M agoSure hope it's not Bloober. Especially after what they have done with the SH2 demake.
I am thinking, and hoping, that it's a young internal team given the chance to do something fresh. Fresh for Nintendo to be anyway.
Hopefully they will drop more bite size chunks of info soon. Fun game this.
