Q: How did the [Famicom Detective Club] remakes for the Switch come about?
Miyachi: … An employee from MAGES pitched the idea to Nintendo with incredible passion.
Even during a different meeting between our point person for external developers and MAGES., they brought up the subject by saying, “By the way, we’ve updated the remakes proposal we talked about the other day!” and “We’ve also updated the video materials. Here's what we want to create!” and so on.
I heard those suggestions continued for more than a year. Seeing how serious they were, our staff started pitching their proposal and reference materials to internal teams, and that’s how it started.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreiezhljdpsqdootibg45wk4cosr7yr4yicdosow6ssnw4jkm6u2jhu)

QUOTE:
Miyachi: One day during development [of Emio: The Smiling Man], I was surprised to receive several DVDs, some of which were gory or horror-movie-like. Sakamoto-san insisted that I watch them... I pleaded with him, ‘These really aren't my cup of tea,’ but he insisted, ‘Please, I need you to watch them.’ So I plucked up the courage, and they were...actually quite interesting! I learned so much from them and understood what Sakamoto-san wanted to express.
Sakamoto: The pauses, use of sound, cuts, and cut transitions in the games are all influenced by what I've seen, so I wanted Miyachi-san to watch all those different works to understand where my inspiration came from.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreie7ktl7pm7g2p4bdggafc4cbnmsphfpttnvizvi53z3bd4u4de4e4)

"Miyachi: [Sakamoto] asked me to come up with a key event that would kick off the investigation [in Emio – The Smiling Man].
Q: This was again without much information?
Miyachi: Here's the brief I got: ‘An older brother's well-meaning actions towards his sister incur her anger.’ That was it. I had no idea when or why this event would occur, or how the incident would begin, so I was at a complete loss. [Laughs] It was definitely a crazy demand. …
Sakamoto: I had a good reason for withholding that information. I needed Miyachi-san to read the finished plot for the first time to judge whether it was interesting or not. It would've been pointless if she hadn't read it with a completely fresh mind."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2e7f2uvcguv4d5qxqnyjmk32/bafkreicxyv4fnrimls4bj4rkprqlnnrs5pwmwvticimjklrgrdc7wmknea)
