Switch 2 developer reveals game it gambled on making after hearing whispers of mouse controls


Switch 2 game Mouse Work was a gamble by its developer who guessed correctly that Nintendo's new console would have mouse controls.

"The truth is that this project has been developed very rapidly after assuming the mouse mode rumour was true from the January Direct," Nitrome founder Mat Annal told Eurogamer, following the launch of Mouse Work's first trailer - which has already been positively compared to Switch 1 launch title SnipperClips. Watch on YouTube Like SnipperClips, Mouse Work is an indie game from a British studio with experience in Flash development - and it's this background which has enabled Nitrome to make such fast progress, Annal continued. There's a distinctive visual style to the project, too, reminiscent of Nintendo's own mini-game compilation, WarioWare.
