Even if it were, I don't see why they'd go the extra measure to do this kind of viral tease instead of just a regular reveal in a Direct.
Extremely unlikely. The previous games were nothing like this in tone and I think if this were a visual novel they'd have made it clear from the outset.
Maybe JeffGubb drops a rumor later today:

He had some solid Nintendo rumors in the past.

I agree with the first part, but not with the latter one. I think it's most likely to be an adventure game or VN at this point in time.
that type of game feels like more a regular Nintendo Direct drop, than going the route of viral marketing.
Also the tone is much different, and the upgrade to a potential M-rating doesn't lend itself to likely being part of that series.

What's the rumor. I'll be fucked if I'm clicking on the video of a fat white guy with his mouth open.

The trailer they showed was entirely live action, but in the days of 56k dialup you probably didn't actually watch the trailer, you saw stills in magazines. And the magazines didn't say "this is just a live action video," they said "still from Sadness." We didn't know what the Wii was called or what its features were beyond motion or anything, so it read like "the new console will have photorealistic graphics and you can see them in this cool black and white horror game."
Of course it was all fake but that was how news existed at the time. Today it'd crumble instantly under any scrutiny.
Somehow, Hassan Karaman('s aptly named Abandoned )returned.
In all seriousness - I really want to know anything about this so it's certainly having its intended effect.

If it is, the remake titles can FINALLY go on sale for once maybe.
damn you got real personal and body shaming
everyone thinks you're very cool for that
Really? We shouldn't be body shaming like that. Definitely for good ol grub
I agree that the gaping mouth YouTube thumbnail thing is extremely cringey, but the weight thing is weird to poke at for sure. Would it be better if he were smaller?
It being from Grubb I also think the thumbnail is kind of a parody.
I find it crazy how we don't know specifically when this will be revealed. I figured it would have been revealed wihthin 2 days and yet its coming up on a week
You guys are right. I edited that part out. I stand by being sick of white guys on YouTube talking about video games tho lol
You act like Grubb isn't a figure that is there for ages and with a positive reputation to boot.
Like how you say you edited it out but its still there to make more people's day miserable who struggle with body image
I'm still drawing a blank of what this could be, this is so outside of the realm of Nintendo, and this is definitely first party, or as close as it can be a la Metroid Dread. This isn't Fatal Frame where Nintendo just gave them Luigi and Zero Suit Samus costumes, they are absolutely involved.
Metroid Dread is not just close to first party, it is first party. :P
You probably mean you think this is internally developed and nout outsourced?
I mean Mercury Steam is definitely not first party.
If its not internally developed they have to be working closely with whatever developer it is, right? Surely they are the IP owners unlike Bayonetta, even if its outsourced.
I also imagine it's a new IP by Nintendo, if internally devloped or not I think they are involved with like a producer at least if not more. Someone I know suggested this could be a side project of Sakamoto before Metroid 6, that would be fun!
Doesn't seem like the same vibes at all. I've only played the 2 that got released here and not the third game game though.
Emio reminds me of the yellow man from blue velvet. Just kinda standing there lifelessly.

Obviously, just report it.
Were comes this Famicom Detective Club rumor from? I never played a FDC game but the images point to a teeny and mildly scary game, more Scooby Doo than horror? The Emio teaser has totally different vibes.
Thanks for such a thorough explanation! Based on that, there's probably little reason to think Nintendo's attempting an ARG with Emio at this point.
If I rated house of Fata Morgana 9.8/10, how much would I enjoy Famicom Detective Club? Thinking of buying it and playing it over a flight at the end of the year.
