​

Nintendo has released a cryptic 15-second video titled "Emio" or "笑み男" (Smiling Man) on their social media channels.

The video features a lost-footage style scene with a man wearing a trench coat and a brown paper bag with a smiley face drawn on it. Eerie piano music plays in the background as the camera cuts from a close-up of the man's hand to the paper bag, where the smile changes to a wide grin.

The clip has also been uploaded to the Nintendo UK YouTube channel where it is preceeded by a viewer discretion warning and the PEGI 18 (adults only age rating) logo.

Aww yeah, a horror console! Random jump scares happen while you're playing, and if you scream your save files get taken down by a DMCA request.

This guy gets it!

It's a no brainer that it's for the next Switch. Id6 actually be surprised if it wasn't.

Oh no no I don’t mean a game for the next console, I mean the next console itself. That’s right, I’m goin all in, baby.

This Emio guy is probably just trying to tell us about the new extended warranty that they're offering on the Switch 2.

Because the direct was for Switch games. I'm gonna guess this is the first teaser of a game for their new console.

why would nintendo make a teaser of a game for a console that there is no info on as of this point

[Retrojunkies]

Nintendo likely trying now to pretend it tailors to the older market by making a dead cheap video of a game they likely bought off one of the endless shit indy devs in their eShop.

amazed it's not titled "the emio game for the nintendo switch system"

 

[JuanMena]

Aww yeah, a horror console!

You mean a Nintendo Switch? or a WiiU?

 

[eyeliner]

Funny how people are loosing their collective minds.

This teaser made nothing to me.

 

[Robert Newbie]

I was not expecting this from Nintendo. It feels like Nintendo is trying to get the attention of kids that are into "the backrooms" and "cartoon cat."

Imagine waking up to this Amiibo.

Hilarious that they even thought an age restriction was necessary for this video. It's a dude with a trench coat and a paper bag on his head, FFS. Age gate it when he starts killing people instead of just standing there.

 

[JuanMena]

So this must be First Party I presume?

Eternal Darkness?

Luigi's Mansion 4?

Pikmin?

 

[ertaboy356b]

Is this a new nintendo published game? Why didn't they show it during the direct last month

That would put an Age Restriction to the Nintendo Direct.
