My Arms Are Longer Now, a comedy heist game about a thief with a very long arm, is due out on March 11, 2027, according to IGN. The date was shared as part of Nintendo's latest Indie World Showcase, which the company scheduled for Wednesday, October 28, 2026, at 7 a.m. Pacific Time.

The showcase is a short video presentation of independent games, the small-team titles that often come from outside the largest publishers. Nintendo said this one would run about 15 minutes and feature indie games coming to Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch. Nintendo lists the event on its own site.

The game is built around one simple idea. The player controls a really long arm, and uses it to slip past security systems and pick up items that aren't bolted down. Its Steam store page describes it as a 2D stealth-comedy game, meaning a side-view game where the aim is to avoid being spotted, played for laughs.

The game is physics-based, so its puzzles depend on how objects move and react, much as they would in the real world. It is a single-player experience, and the developer, Toot Games, has built it around physical comedy and creative puzzle design.

Jackbox Games, the publisher behind a long run of party games, will publish the title in partnership with Toot Games. Jackbox announced the deal in March 2026.

The voice cast is one of the more unusual details. According to Nintendo Everything's recap of the showcase, the game has 48 characters, all fully voiced by Australian comedians. The game launches for Nintendo Switch 2.

For anyone who wants to follow the game before it arrives, the Steam page lists it under the Adventure, Casual and Indie genres. A date more than four months away gives the team time to finish the puzzles and the jokes.
