Nitrome’s Mouse Work Set for December 7 Launch on Nintendo Switch 2

The cursor-driven party game is built to showcase Switch 2’s new mouse, gyro and haptic controls.

Overview

  • Nitrome announced Tuesday that Mouse Work will launch digitally for Nintendo Switch 2 on December 7, 2026.
  • Players can tackle a single-player campaign of roughly eight to ten plus hours or play one-to-four-player local and online co-op using GameShare.
  • The game features 54 distinct jobs across 18 roles, with stage designs and mechanics that change depending on player count.
  • Mouse Work emphasizes the Switch 2’s new input options by supporting multiple plugged-in mice, Joy‑Con 2 cursor tracking, gyro input and tactile haptics for asymmetric multiplayer play.
  • Completing jobs earns an in-game currency called Cheddar to buy cosmetics, the title is listed at $19.99 with pre-orders on the eShop, and Nitrome frames the game as both a holiday party title and a hardware showcase following its work on Shovel Knight Dig.
