Sorry. Not unless they know something we dont.

We need permission from Nintendo to allow us to have a DevKit first.
We have been trying but no luck do far.

Happy 40th @rare.co.uk

Our Director @mat-annal.bsky.social made this fan piece some time ago and I donโ€™t think ever showed itโ€ฆ

seems an apt time! Weโ€™d love to make a Snake rattle n roll 2. Dig to the centre of the earth with you one day :) ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ๐Ÿ

We have been loving #DonkeyKongBananza and couldnโ€™t resist having a play with the modelling tool. Itโ€™s a great use of mouse mode so what else would we make thanโ€ฆour very own #MouseWork

We canโ€™t help but feel the same. We donโ€™t want to disrespect any game dev and Iโ€™m sure the Campfire game will have an audience but it doesnโ€™t seem more worthy of attention to us.

Well if we were invited to be shown off we certainly would be given dev kits too. As we donโ€™t have dev kits I wouldnโ€™t expect any coverage from the big N.

Honestly we would love to do something like that :)

Sadly โ€˜Mouse Workโ€™ was not invited but still very excited and curious to see what is shown at the #NintendoDirect partner showcase especially if it is mouse controlled!

What do we all think/hope will be shown?

No dev kit. Just good old-fashioned detective skills. ๐Ÿ”

Here's how Nitrome built Mouse Work for the Nintendo Switch 2. ๐Ÿ‘€

If I were at Nintendo I would've moved heaven and Earth to get Nitrome a dev kit the moment they expressed interest in making a game specifically to show off a feature of the new console in time for launch, but doing nothing is also cool, I suppose.

I really wish there was more of the story than just telling you at the end of the game that you were in prison
And I've always loved these vehicles, they're so cool
I need more of this game
