When Nintendo let media get their hands on the Switch 2 for the first time, one of the weirder reveals was a game called Drag x Drive. It’s a three-on-three basketball game where players are bound to a wheelchair and must use the mouse functionality of both Joy-Cons to steer, stop, and roll forward. Of all the games I played that day, Drag x Drive was the most inventive use of the Switch 2’s most gimmicky new feature. And what looked like a glorified tech demo in its trailer proved to be a ton of fun in practice.
Earlier today, Nintendo committed to an August 14 release date for this creative spin on the sport via its Nintendo Today app. But while I’m excited to get more time with this game in the comfort of my home, I’m also worried that there might not be more to this experience than we’ve already seen.
