  • Emio's Big Reveal

    Emio's Big Reveal
    Jul 18 2024
    After Nintendo posted a YouTube video featuring a man with a bag on his head, fans were in deep speculation about what the company was up to. Could it be a new horror IP, or simply a fake-out for a much less sinister project? Today, the company revealed that it was all a lead-up to a new release in the Famicom Detective Club series, the first new entry since 1988. Our original recording just missed the window of the reveal, but we've adjusted with a pickup that's already inserted into the episode. Please enjoy!
