Mouse: P.I. For Hire — April 16

Mouse: P.I. For Hire is now set to launch on Nintendo Switch 2 on April 16, 2026, after a short delay from March. (nintendolife.com) (nintendoeverything.com) Fumi Games develops the shooter and PlaySide Studios publishes it. The Nintendo eShop listing shows the Switch 2 edition at $29.99 in the United States. (playsidestudios.com) (nintendo.com) Ahead of release, the teams published Switch 2 performance targets for two display modes. Docked Performance Mode targets 1080p at 60 frames per second, while docked Quality Mode targets 1440p at 40 frames per second. (nintendoeverything.com) In handheld play, Performance Mode targets 900p at 60 frames per second and Quality Mode targets 1260p at 30 frames per second. Nintendo Everything also reported a 15 gigabyte file size for the Switch 2 version. (nintendoeverything.com 1) (nintendoeverything.com 2) Mouse: P.I. For Hire is a first-person shooter, meaning the action is shown through the player character’s eyes rather than from above or behind. Fumi pitches it as a noir detective game set in Mouseburg, with hand-drawn black-and-white visuals modeled on 1930s rubber-hose cartoons. (mousethegame.com) (nintendo.com) That art style has been the game’s main hook since PlaySide and Fumi confirmed Switch 2 and Switch versions in October 2025. The April 16 date gives Nintendo’s new system a near-term release instead of an open-ended “coming later” listing. (nintendoeverything.com) (playsidestudios.com) The game stars Troy Baker as private investigator Jack Pepper. Fumi this week also named Florian Clare as Wanda Fuller, Camryn Grimes as Tammy Tumbler, Fred Tatasciore as John Brown, and Frank Todaro as Cornelius Stilton. (mousethegame.com 1) (mousethegame.com 2) PlaySide said digital editions arrive April 16 on personal computer, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Physical editions are scheduled later, on July 10, 2026. (playsidestudios.com 1) (playsidestudios.com 2) For Switch 2 owners, the immediate question is no longer whether Mouse: P.I. For Hire has a date. It is which mode they will pick when the game arrives on Thursday, April 16. (nintendolife.com) (nintendoeverything.com)
