Not sure about the new Famicom Detective Club? Maybe Emio can give you a good laugh with its three upcoming demos

Nintendo’s first new Famicom Detective Club We’ll get three full demos over 30 years, and you’ll be able to carry over your save data, too.

About a third of the way through July, Nintendo started teasing something a little scary. It didn’t fit with Nintendo’s usual family-friendly image, but a week later, the developer revealed that it was actually a brand new Famicom Detective Club game, the first new game in over 30 years, not counting the remakes of the original two games. Even better for fans of the classic, NES game designer and Super Metroid director Yoshio Sakomoto is back with a new installment. Now you won’t have to wait that long to play it, but before the game’s official release, Nintendo is releasing three demos so you can get your hands on it as soon as possible.

The first demo is launching tomorrow, August 19th, and it’s the full first chapter of the game. Thankfully, you don’t have to pay a cent to play it, and even better, two more chapters are coming on August 22nd and 27th, all of which are free, essentially letting you play most of the opening section of the game without spending a penny. Best of all, your progress will carry over to the full game when it launches on August 29th, so you don’t have to worry about having to replay a lot if you were thinking of buying it anyway.

“Solve the tragic death of a student as a chilling clue brings back cold cases from the past and an urban legend about a killer with a disturbing modus operandi,” the game’s official description explains. “Does the Smiling Man really exist… or is there a new criminal out to continue his legend?”

Emio – The Man Who Smiles: Famicom Detective Club will be available on Nintendo Switch on August 29th.
