I noticed this game on Steam the other day... and there also seem to be Nintendo Switch 2 and Playstation 5 versions.  Mouse: P.I. For Hire has an interesting look to it ... I watched a few of the gameplay videos.  It has that old school black and white vibe but 1st person shooter and some modern features to it.  The gameplay looks really smooth as well.

Information on the Game:
  • DEADLY INVESTIGATIONS: Meet Private Investigator Jack Pepper, a former war hero-turned-detective in a world where danger lurks even in the smallest mouse hole. Uncover the truth when a simple missing persons case quickly escalates into a complex web of intrigue, with corruption, kidnapping and murder all on the docket. Investigate the seedy underbelly of Mouseburg, battle heavily armed gangs and crooked cops, and discover clues to reveal the conspiracy buried underneath the surface.
  • LOCK, LOAD & LAUGH: From crackling machine guns to explosive firepower, each weapon in Pepper's arsenal is designed to deploy non-stop cartoon chaos. Arm yourself with an array of classic, creatively twisted and experimental firearms, and consume powerful upgrades when you need that extra spinach-loaded punch! Lethal encounters and manic boss battles await in this boomer shooter-inspired, retro-vibed adventure - and the denizens of Mouseburg never go down without a fight.
  • A CITY OF SECRETS: Explore a diverse city playground, from dark streets to classic film studios, opulent opera buildings, poisonous swamps and underground sewers. With a myriad of cases to solve and collectibles to find, Mouseburg is truly a detective's delight! Use every tool at your disposal to wall-run, grapple-hook and double-jump through this unrelenting cartoon world.

IT's Not too expensive at $30 for a physical copy.  Pre-order for July 10, 2026 release.

@retro junkie I think it's going to be on my list as well.  I haven't had a good beat-em-up for awhile and this looks like it fits the bill.

@targetrasp  --> Did you find it boring at all?  Or just not a repeatably re-playable game?  Just curious.  I thought the Achievement hunting could be fun as well

I made more progress in the 100% achievements of Brotato on Steam.  @targetrasp and I got caught up on a couple areas lately lol.  Wasn't sure if we were going to get past them... but we did.

New NES games were added to Switch online.  The games are PAC-MAN, Mendel Palace, and THE TOWER OF DRUAGA.  I've only played PAC-MAN... not sure how the other 2 games are ... yet!  :great:  The games are listed below with their descriptions.

PAC-MAN

You control everyone's favorite iconic Pac-Man!

Navigate through mazes, gobbling pellets while simultaneously avoiding the devious ghosts. Warp from one edge of the maze to the other using the warp tunnels, or eat a Power Pellet to turn the tables and make the ghosts vulnerable! In order to clear the stage, you'll need to eat all the Pac-Dot pellets in the maze! See just how far you can get through the stages before losing all your lives! Fruit, like cherries and strawberries, will give you extra points to help you reach the highest score!

Mendel Palace

Flip panels to defeat enemies and rescue Candy!

This action game was released for the NES™ console in 1990 and features the protagonist Bon-Bon, whose best friend, Candy, has been trapped inside her own dream! To save Candy, he'll need to outsmart and overpower all of Candy's evil dolls. The toys that block his path can be defeated by flipping panels in the floors, pushing them into the walls. Some panels also have special effects that can be used to clear stages even more quickly!

THE TOWER OF DRUAGA

Control GIL, the hero, as he climbs the tower!

Starting from the first floor, pick up the key inside each maze and go through the door to advance to the next floor. To clear the game, you must defeat DRUAGA, the ruler of the tower, then advance to the top floor and save your beloved KI. Some foes need to land several hits before you lose a life—but many will kill you instantly! Failing to block a spell with your shield, touching fire, and running out of time will also cause you to lose a life. Run out of lives, the game is over. There are also secret tasks, one for each floor, that will reward you with hidden items, like a pickax that can destroy walls and boots that increase your movement speed. You will need some of these items to beat the game—missing key items will lead to certain death, or at least a dead end and a long return journey. Climb carefully!

Quote from: BLUEVOODU on April 27, 2026, 04:48:43 PM@retro junkie --> I wonder how those people are able to sell the carts without getting shut down.

Not sure...with Nintendo being as aggressive as they are. Vintex has got to be in Canada....that is I assume due to their postage rates. It is bold and arrogant for them too list all this stuff like they do. Ali Express on the other hand is China. They don't care. Although I do notice that anything to do with Mario is blurred out, but you know what it is.

I have seen on Ali Express a N64 cart with Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door. That is a Gamecube game. It has to be a Paper Mario 64 mod. I might need to pick that up next.
