Jackbox Games and Toot Games announced My Arms Are Longer Now, a new 2D stealth-comedy slated for release on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026.
Known primarily for the Jackbox Party Pack series, Jackbox is also moving into publishing with this title, partnering with Toot Games on the project.
The first announcement trailer for My Arms Are Longer Now is now available.
Background and platforms
My Arms Are Longer Now is positioned as a 2D stealth-comedy that will ship to both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 hardware in 2026.
Jackbox Games established its reputation with the Jackbox Party Pack franchise and has recently revealed The Jackbox Party Pack 12, underscoring the studio’s continued activity across multiplayer and single-player releases.
The company distributes titles digitally and has a history of releasing games through console storefronts such as the Nintendo eShop.
Gameplay and tone
In developer materials, My Arms Are Longer Now is described as a game in which players control an unusually long-armed thief.
The player-character uses a retractable arm to navigate security systems, grab valuables and interact with NPCs.
The studio framed the experience as combining stealth mechanics with broad comedic moments—players can retract their arm like a cord, use unusual props to distract or flirt with guards, and execute heists across a variety of levels.
Key features (developer summary rewritten)
- A retractable arm mechanic that functions like a vacuum-cord style grapple and extension.
- A hard-boiled detective character who pursues the player and whose retirement is a narrative ticking clock.
- A comedic loot-and-reward structure presented with tongue-in-cheek value statements about the riches players can acquire.
Trailer and next steps
Jackbox released an announcement trailer alongside the reveal.
The company credited a community tip from James McKee in circulation around the announcement.
No further release-window details beyond the 2026 target were provided at the time of the reveal.
What this means for Nintendo audiences
The announcement places My Arms Are Longer Now squarely in Jackbox’s expanding catalog and highlights the studio’s move into publishing outside its party-game roots.
With a 2026 release planned for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, the title will be among the growing slate of indie and mid-size projects targeting Nintendo’s platforms.
