Developer Fumi Games is prepared to release its upcoming first-person shooter, Mouse: P.I. For Hire, set in the 1930s and clearly inspired by classic cartoons. The game will be releasing on April 16, 2026 and it will be released for PC via Steam, Xbox Series, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Can I Play Mouse: P.I. For Hire On Switch 1?
While the Switch 2 will be able to handle the 1930s cartoon first-person shooter, it looks like it will not be released on the Switch. Fumi Games has not mentioned plans for a Switch 2 release. It’s unclear if Mouse: P.I. For Hire could handle being on the platform.
It seemed that the game was originally planned for the Nintendo Switch, but the delay it received seemingly canceled that idea.
Mouse: P.I. For Hire will cost $30 for the Switch 2 and will also have a physical release when it comes out later this month.
Here is an overview of the game:
Iconic Style: The monochromatic, hand-drawn rubber hose animation and original retro jazz soundtrack are created with the same techniques of the era. The playful weaponry, whimsical health display, and cartoon chaos add a light-hearted twist to each death.
Customizable Power-Ups: Enhance melee combat with a can of Spike-D Spinach, or even attach Pepper’s mouse tail to a Grappling Hook to rapidly traverse Mouseberg’s rooftops.
Fast-paced Action: Discover and combine powerful upgrades with comical weapons to violently blow apart enemies. From crackling Tommy guns to explosive firepower, use a mix of combat styles that adjust to play style preferences to defeat enemies in epic fights and challenging boss battles.
- A City of Danger: Join Jack Pepper’s diverse city playground spanning a movie studio, dockland, casino, swamp marshland, and underground sewer network locations. But beware of what lurks beneath the surface! Embark on a gripping detective adventure and encounter a mischievous cast of big bads as Pepper takes a gritty journey to the dark side of town.
Solve the Mystery: Earn rewards from minigames and side quests as Jack Pepper uncovers clues and collectibles that pay homage to iconic pop culture, films, and cartoons.
