Studio Nitrome and publisher PM Studios have officially announced the release date for their unusual party game Mouse Work. The project, created specifically for the new mouse mode of the Nintendo Switch 2 console, will hit digital store shelves on December 7.
A risky development based on rumors
Interesting fact: the developers at Nitrome began creating the game long before the official console announcement, relying solely on insider reports and rumors about a computer mouse feature in the Joy-Con 2 controllers. The risk paid off, and now players will get a full title that 100% utilizes the unique capabilities of the new system.
Mouse Work Game Features
On the Japanese eShop page, the game is priced at 2,200 yen (approximately $14). Players can look forward to over 10 hours of fun chaos across a campaign with more than 50 diverse levels. The main characters are funny little mice taking on a wide variety of jobs to earn their dream cheese.
- Diverse professions: work as a climbing instructor, speed-paint pictures, pilot a submarine, or solve problems as IT support.
- Innovative controls: the game utilizes the Joy-Con 2 cursor mode, gyroscope (for example, for hairdressing), and precise HD Rumble vibration (for treasure hunting with a metal detector).
- Co-op and GameShare™: complete missions solo or in local and online co-op for up to 4 players. Thanks to the GameShare feature, only one copy of the game is required for online play with friends.
- Customization: over 200 accessories (hats, ties, glasses, shoes) to create a unique look for your mouse.
