About this game
Emio: The Smiling Man - Famicom Detective Club is a point-and-click mystery/adventure game.
As a budding detective at the Utsugi Detective Agency, the player assists the police with investigating the death of a young boy found with a paper bag over his head with a smiley face crudely drawn on it.

In this latest installment of the Famicom Detective Club , the player looks for clues, interviews witnesses and possible suspects, to try to piece together what happened to the young boy.
His death is eerily similar to a string of unsolved murders of young girls 18 years prior, all of whom were also found with paper bags on their heads with smiley faces drawn on them.
The murders echo the local urban legend of Emio, who wears a similar paper bag while appearing to crying young girls with the promise to give them a "smile that will last forever".
About Nintendo Switch
Released in 2017, the Nintendo Switch became one of the best-selling consoles of all time thanks to its hybrid handheld/docked design. Its cartridge-based physical format (as opposed to discs) has made complete-in-box collecting popular again, with certain limited print runs and Nintendo-published exclusives already commanding a premium on the secondhand market just a few years after release.
Gamevaro tracks Emio: The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club [Collector's Edition] for Nintendo Switch with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Emio: The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club [Collector's Edition] to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically.

Rarity & condition
