Nintendo teased a new game with a trailer called “Emio” on July 10, 2024, and the Australian video’s rating mentioned suicide and violence as being in the project. This came up in that teaser, rather than in others, due to the ratings and descriptors showing up before the footage appeared on YouTube.
The ratings at the bottom of the image both note that the Nintendo game that the “Emio” teaser is hinting at is a “Mature” rated title, with the recommendation being for over 13 and 15. Both of the boxes note that violence is present They also both note suicide, with one mentioning “suicide references” and the other “suicide themes.” The OFLC one, which mentions it being restricted to people ages 13 and up, also cited cruelty and domestic abuse.
Nintendo still hasn’t mentioned anything more about “Emio” yet. The Japanese teaser site for the game is live. If you leave it up for a while, the background will change. When it does, the expression on the person in the background’s paper bag mask will change.
The new “Emio” game or project is currently in development. Nintendo hasn’t revealed any more details about it, beyond the latest Australian ratings that suggest some of its expected themes.
