Man, where do I even start with this whole Drag x Drive thing for the Switch 2? So, here’s the deal, it’s about basketball, but like, in wheelchairs, and with mouse controls? Yeah, I don’t get it either, but it’s kinda cool, right? Anyway, Nintendo just threw a trailer at us that’s all about how this game actually works. It’s happening on August 14. Mark your calendars or whatever.
Okay, this trailer — it’s like, 7 minutes long. Highlights? Sure, there’s some stuff about controls, some hacks, and a peek outside the main court. And, oh, on the Pure Nintendo Podcast, people were all curious about the game modes. Who wouldn’t be, honestly? Turns out there’s more than just 3-on-3. Think minigames. Maybe keep things interesting or just distract you when online matches get stale. Training mode’s in there, playing against bots. Not bad, huh?
And Nintendo’s got the features breakdown. I mean, ready or not, here it comes:
So, you’ve got online lobbies. Six players in, and boom, game on. Crowd of 12? Head to a Public Park. More of a private party person? There’s Friend Parks for that. Do whatever makes your boat float — two courts, six players, challenges. Go wild on the leaderboard. Solo? Bots have got your back.
You’ve got driver choices: Guard, Center, Forward. Stats and styles, match ’em up however you like.
Sounds like too much court time? Race on the Circuit Sprint, shoot some hoops, or dabble in Rebound what’s-it-called Scramble. Bunny hopping, jump rope, it’s got the works. Challenges unlock helmets, and honestly, who doesn’t love a good helmet? Armor, frames, tires — drip your driver out.
So, what’s the verdict? Is this gonna be on everyone’s radar, or just fade into the abyss? Personally, I’m intrigued. Might even call it a surprise hit. Thoughts?
Oh, guess what?! Before it officially drops, there’s a Global Jam happening from August 9-10. You can taste-test the thing early — which I guess is kinda sweet. Hours are wild though: early AM, late PM, just whenever you’re awake, right?
Can’t say if it’ll be perfect, but I’ll cross my fingers for a slam dunk. Let’s see what happens!
