It’s pretty smart marketing. Nobody has the slightest clue what Emio even is, but we just can’t stop talking about Emio.

[Smiller]

I’m not gonna lie. That trailer reminded me of the commercials from the 90’s and early 00’s. Dark and gritty all for a Mario game or Zelda or Sonic or even Kirby. It was really nostalgic.

The vitality sensor is already part of the joy-con, this could be the IR-Sensor's finest hour.

Emio is my uncle. He works at Nintendo.

Nintendo is just killing it right now. Very good support with their existing series this late into the game with the Switch and all of a sudden they drop something entirely unique and diverse from their normal stuff.

The unkown is always more exciting than the known.

Someone posted that it's very unusual to create a new IP this late into a platform's lifespan instead of saving it for the next.

Imagine the tagline for using the vitality sensor for a horror game: "We made it for an exercise game. Now you can use it for an exorcise game" 🙂

Let's stay positive guys, I think this could be a year end game, Nintendo trying something different at the end of the cycle

[devin]

Yeah the content warnings or whatever they may call it paint a harsh freaking feature like this isn't Resident Evil Revelations where there's heroes shooting yucky monsters, whatever Emio is doing might be closer to Silent Hill 2 with very serious real issues taking center stage which honestly sounds incredible and I'm excited to see if they pull it off.

Here's my guess:
It's an FMV game and a spiritual successor to Famicom Detective Club, and it'll be released in September or October. Those games sold pretty well after all, and it wouldn't be too expensive or take too long to make which fits perfectly for a late generation release.

[hatorihanzoii]

It's probably a new Famicom Detective club game or something

[morpheus]

I'm thinking Nintendo is capitalizing on the hype of psychological horror games. Every now and then a game like that would come out on steam and every Japanese streamer is playing it. There's no way Nintendo doesn't notice that

8:35 The switch has a heartbeat monitor already in it

[iliveretro]

Remember the IR sensor on the Joycon can measure your heart rate

4:36 I find this interesting on how some ratings vary on what age is mature.

[SlCKBY-sbkg]

MA15+ in Australia is distinct from M. Here in Au, M is recommended for over 15. MA15+ means no one under 15 can purchase, so it’s not an advisory but a restriction. MA15+ is the step just below R18+ which is adult only so this game is going to be pretty heavy.

Wait.. madworld on the Wii wasn't published by Nintendo? I didnt know that.

[flarestorm]

I wonder if Nintendo would put this in their directs, and how much they would show ifthey did. They've put mature games in their directs before, but they usually shy away from anything to extreme from said games. But if it's an original IP, they would likely have to go into what gives it its M rating.

I posted this in RGT85's video on Emio but I think it bears repeating:

You know, it would make things more unsettling if Nintendo just suddenly drops a demo for Emio on the eShop without any notice or even a visible page on the Coming Soon section. Just a page on the Games with Demos section for everyone could download the demo.

Alternatively, Nintendo could post an eerie notice on the News section of the Switch's Home menu and that's the only way you could get to the page to download the demo.
