Emio - The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club demo

Original: Nintendo today announced a demo for Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club, which will actually be split into three parts. The news is technically only shared for Japan thus far, but the same will likely apply to the west (plus Switch is region free and English is supported in all versions of the game).

The first part of the demo, which consists of the prologue and first chapter, will release on August 19 / August 20 (actual time varies depending on your region). Nintendo will then follow up with the second chapter on August 22 / August 23. Lastly, the third chapter closes things out on August 27 / August 28.

Indie World Showcase Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase

Nintendo will host not one, but two new presentations tomorrow with an Indie World Showcase and Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase. The fun begins at 7 AM PT / 10 AM ET / 3 PM in the UK / 4 PM in Europe.

The Indie World Showcase will go live first. Right after that event, the Nintendo Direct: Partners Showcase will begin. Between the two, everything will take place across 40 minutes (give or take).

Both events will cover upcoming games for Switch. Unsurprisingly, Nintendo will not be talking about the system’s successor here.

Here’s where you can watch tomorrow’s proceedings:

Mario partners

Today, we’re looking at all of Mario’s partners – not just from the Paper Mario series, but from almost every game in the entire franchise.

Over the years, Mario has been accompanied by many different partners – some of whom haven’t appeared since their initial debut. At the time of writing, the greater Mario franchise is in something of a transitional period. We do have Mario & Luigi: Brothership coming up, but beyond that everything is presumably being saved for Nintendo’s next console. That means it’s as good a time as any to review all of Mario’s partners and ask: which is your favorite?

This week, a special Nintendo Direct was held for the new Nintendo Museum in Japan. Aside from sharing the opening date of October 2, a bunch of details were shared about what will actually be there.

The museum seems to have two floors. You’ll be able to see side-by-side displays of products, participate in special experiences, make Hanafuda playing cards, visit the cafe, and check out merchandise at the shop. We’ve got plenty more details in our post here.

Despite covering a lot in this week’s presentation, Nintendo didn’t cover every last thing that will be at the museum. But in terms of what hasn’t been shown or what you feel might be missing, what would you like to see? Let us know in the comments.
