(gonintendo.com) Mouse: P.I. For Hire launched digitally on April 16, 2026, according to the game’s official FAQ, which says the title is developed by Fumi Games and published by PlaySide Studios. (mousethegame.com) The official FAQ describes Mouse as a single-player first-person shooter with hand-drawn black-and-white “rubber hose” animation modeled on 1930s cartoons, plus more than 20 levels and more than 10 weapons. (mousethegame.com) That early chart placement gives one of the first public readouts on paid downloads for Nintendo’s new system, because Nintendo’s Switch 2 eShop rankings are now surfacing which new releases are converting into purchases in the launch window. (nintendoeverything.com) The same chart also suggests players are spending on both brand-new software and upgraded editions, with Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition at No. 5 and Super Mario Bros. Wonder Upgrade Pack at No. 7.
