We all know that the Switch 2 is currently looming on the horizon. The specifics don't really matter right now beyond the fact that it's known that Nintendo is gearing up for the next big thing, whatever that is. Until recently, I've considered this something of a nuisance in much the same way as I did the impending shift away from the Nintendo 3DS once and for all. I've recently come around on the idea, however, and it's all thanks to Emio - The Smiling Man, a Famicom Detective Club sequel that took decades to happen.
Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club likely isn't the sort of game anyone might consider to be a system seller, and it certainly wouldn't qualify for the Switch successor – whatever it ends up being called – in large part due to the simple fact that it, you know, hasn't released for it. It's only just released for the original Nintendo Switch. Add to this that it's a fairly straightforward visual novel/adventure game distinctly set in Japan decades in the past in order to make it contemporary with previous Famicom Detective Club games and, well, let's just say Tears of the Kingdom it ain't.
