Nintendo uploaded a 15-second video on YouTube titled Emio this week. The video features a person with a paper bag over their head. The paper bag has a smiley face on it, and a distinctly creepy music box melody is playing in the background. We also see the ESRB’s M rating. At the end of the teaser, three Japanese characters appear...
