The joint announcement positions the title as a new, comedic take on heist gameplay from the studio best known for the Jackbox Party Pack series.
In My Arms Are Longer Now players control a character with an absurdly long arm, using it to stretch through vents, slither under tables and worm out of windows to execute increasingly elaborate thefts.
The publisher describes the core mechanic as an extendable arm that retracts like a vacuum cord, enabling unconventional traversal and object manipulation across each level.
The game’s presentation leans heavily into comedy and voice performance.
Publisher notes indicate there are 48 playable or named characters, all of which are fully voiced by Australian comedians.
A hard‑boiled detective—explicitly framed as being one week from retirement—functions as a narrative anchor, narrating the player’s crime spree and conducting post-heist interviews with victims left behind.
Gameplay and features outlined by the publisher include:
- A retractable arm mechanic that behaves like a vacuum-cord for reaching and manipulating objects.
- A noir-tinged detective character who narrates and pursues the player, providing a running commentary as the player commits heists.
- A variety of loot to collect across levels, from loose change to high-value items; the publisher lists a minimum payoff of at least $60 among the riches.
My Arms Are Longer Now will be distributed digitally through the Nintendo eShop for both Nintendo Switch and the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware on 11 March 2027.
Jackbox Games is publishing the title in partnership with developer Toot Games; both companies provided the release date and feature summary in their official announcement.
This release adds to Jackbox Games’ portfolio as the company expands beyond its long-running party-game offerings, while giving Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 owners another exclusive-styled indie title to anticipate in spring 2027.
Reporting on the announcement was compiled from the publisher’s official materials and release schedule.
