The current official platform list for MOUSE: P.I. For Hire names Nintendo Switch 2, not the original Nintendo Switch. Right now, there is no live Switch 1 release to point to.
This question needs one extra note: the latest FAQ says the game did not release on previous-generation consoles alongside the April 16, 2026 current-generation launch, and that previous-generation details will be revealed later.
Short answer
There is no original Nintendo Switch version live for MOUSE: P.I. For Hire right now. The currently released Nintendo platform is Nintendo Switch 2, with physical editions due later on July 10, 2026.
What the latest official wording says
- The current FAQ platform answer lists Steam on Windows PC, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and Xbox Series X|S.
- The same FAQ also specifically confirms mouse controls on Nintendo Switch 2, which reinforces that Switch 2 is the active Nintendo plan.
- There is no current Nintendo eShop page for the original Switch version in the public material.
Why people are still asking about Switch 1
- Some earlier materials and merchandise posts used broader Nintendo wording before the platform plans were tightened.
- That is why older search results and reposts can still create the impression that Switch 1 is on the table.
- The newer FAQ is the safer source now: it treats previous-generation console details as future information and names Switch 2 as the active Nintendo version today.
What this means if you only own the original Switch
- If you only own the original Switch, there is no official release date or store listing to act on right now.
- If Nintendo handheld play is the reason you are interested, the announced version to watch is Switch 2.
- If you want a portable-adjacent fallback today, Steam plus Steam Deck remains the other obvious route people are comparing.
