So, Emio was Famicom Detective Club all along? | Pure Nintendo Podcast E70

This week on the Pure Nintendo Podcast, Jemma and Kirk delve into the world of Emio – The Smiling Man, which was unveiled by Nintendo last week.

Last week, we speculated on what Emio could be after an initial teaser. This week, we have the details, and discuss the Famicom Detective Club series. Emio marks the first new entry in the series in over 30 years! The full game comes out on 29 August, so stay tuned for more details as we approach the release date.

We also discuss the official rating for Zelda’s upcoming solo adventure, Echoes of Wisdom. The title has received an E10 rating, and what’s even more interesting is the mention of how players will control Link during the adventure. This sparks a conversation about how we think Link will work his way into the story, though we hope (and assume) the focus will be on Zelda.

Meanwhile, Jemma has had some hands-on time with the latest TMNT outing, Splintered Fate, and gives her initial thoughts ahead of a full review (which has since been published). The good news is that it’s an enjoyable time, with roguelike elements that work well in combination with a solid story and voiceacting that makes the everything feel very much like a TMNT game.

Thanks for listening, we love putting these shows together, so let us know your thoughts! And don’t forget to leave us a review to help support the channel.

Until next time, game on everyone!
