Drag x Drive is a complicated game. On one hand, it’s an inventive approximation of wheelchair basketball that’s fun to play with friends. On the other, it’s as barebones as a new game can be. Even at its $20 price point, the decision to not include basics like a tournament mode or single-player campaign seems uncharacteristic of Nintendo.
Despite the disappointing final package, Drag x Drive does succeed as an excellent example of how developers can create experiences that theoretically can’t be played anywhere else. It should be the opening salvo for these weird, one-off ideas that haven’t been possible in gaming until now.
