Drag x Driveis a multiplayer sports game developed and published by Nintendo where you play as a robotic basketball player in a wheelchair. It takes advantage of the Switch 2’s dual Joy-Con mouse hybrid by allowing you to control each wheel individually, letting you experience pushing the wheels, turning, and trying out some trick shots once you become familiar with its mechanics. You’ll also be able to use motion controls to shoot hoops by flicking your Joy-Cons upward, raising your arms to send signals to your teammates, and clapping if you want to show good sportsmanship.
With it being a multiplayer sports game, you can experience it with up to two other teammates during 3v3 matches. That way, if you want to give someone a high five or find creative ways to show off against the other team, you have free rein to do so, knowing you’ll be up against other people.
Drag x Drivearrives a few months after the Switch 2’s original release on June 5. With the Switch 2’s launch came releases likeMario Kart World, the console’sWelcome Tour, and upgrades for bothTears of the KingdomandBreath of the Wild.We’re also gettingDonkey Kong Bananzaon July 17, with games likeMetroid Prime 4: BeyondandHyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonmenthaving unknown release dates.
