Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club has a Nintendo veteran of 42 years in the writing chair once again - despite proclaiming that, after the second game in the series in 1989, he could never write again.
Nintendo just published a new 'Ask the Developer' writeup featuring Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective club producer Yoshio Sakamoto, who helped co-create the Metroid series, and assistant producer Kaori Miyachi, a veteran of the Super Smash Bros. games. Partway through, the pair reveal that, even after releasing remakes of the first two Famicom Detective Club games back in 2021, they still didn't know they'd be working on Emio - The Smiling Man.
