When you think of horror games, Nintendo Switch is probably the last platform that comes to mind. However, Nintendo recently dropped a trailer titled "Emio" out of the blue, leaving fans confused and scratching their heads.

Nintendo frequently posts new trailers for their games, whether updates or upcoming releases, on its YouTube channel. On Wednesday morning, we got a 15-second trailer featuring a person with a creepy paper bag over their head staring at the screen. Interestingly, this is the only Nintendo trailer with an age restriction.

We don’t have a definitive answer yet. However, the kanji that appears at the end of the trailer directly translates to “smiling man.”

Many fans speculate this will be a new Nintendo IP, as the company has already started promoting the game on their Japanese website—they don’t do that to Indie titles.  Luigi’s Mansion 4 is looking really different! Jokes aside, it's refreshing to see Nintendo finally catering to horror game enthusiasts. It’s been a while since a big-name company releases a AAA horror title—yes, we’re aware that Silent Hill 2 is right around the corner.

Will #Emio be Nintendo’s first step into the world of horror games, or is this all a marketing stunt?
