Its afighting gameintended to veer away from the norm and demonstrate Nintendos new gyroscope-controlled mechanics.
Drag x Drive, on the other hand, might be on its way to writing a different story.
In summary, its a wheelchair basketball game intended to demonstrate Nintendo Switch 2s gyroscope controls and mouse functionality.
What is Drag x Drive?
Drag x Driveis an upcoming three-on-three basketball sports game.
Story
As far as I can tell,Drag x Drivedoesnt have astory campaignor mode.
It seems to only have one game mode: the basketball quick team matches.
Perhaps more game modes will be added in the future.
We may play through more court types, control different wheelchairs, or perhaps perform more complex gimmicks.
For now,Drag x Driveseems solely a team-based competitive wheelchair basketball sports game.
By simultaneously pushing the controllers forward, youll zoom down (and around) the court.
Moreover, you could perform tricks, using the half-pipe to propel yourself into the air.
Tricks and dunks certainly are a game changer, especially in the otherwise quite basic gameplay.
They may offer more replayability as you make a run at pull off the slickest tricks and dunks.
They chose to develop an independent game that could mean the demand for varied game modes and constant updates.
Also, the controls are fifty-fifty.
Sure, it sounds simple to slide both controllers forward to move in that direction.
But what happens when you better turn and need to only slide one controller to pivot?
Will it be smooth and fluid?
Given its a new control system, newcomers may struggle a bit.
It might feel like learning to walk or getting to grips with a new language.
Fortunately, Nintendo tested the mouse controls at the Nintendo Direct event.
Hence,Nintendoseems to have their Wii Sports equivalent showcasing the Joy-Cons mouse capabilities.
Trailer
Nintendo has been gracious in revealingDrag x Drives gameplay trailer.
Its the best depiction of the gameplay you’ve got the option to expect from the final game.
Two teams of three speed down the court, using Joy-Con 2 controllers to wheel the players forward.
Both of your wheels cascade down the court, turning on command.
We, unfortunately, do not have an exact release date yet.
As for editions, Nintendo has yet to confirm if there will be any.
