Drag X Drive is basically a Drag.

So I played Drag X Drive and....It's not really that good. Two of the reasons are the controls and Presentation. The controls use Mouse controls to move around the character on a wheelchair. Left joy con to move left and right joy con to move right, flicking the joy con throws the basketball and move the joy cons simultaneously to move faster.

Problems with the controls is that controlling the wheel chair with Mouse controls worked out fine, but are nearly impossible to maneuver at the same time. Next is the presentation. There are only 10-20 mini games to check out, however some of the mini games are the same thing with a different difficulty rank. Complete the mini games under the amount of time will give you a trophy, earning enough trophies will get you new helmet designs which doesn't give you variety of customization, and finally there's the online basketball match which really doesn't appeal to me as much only to gain a rank or something.

With little to no variety and hard to maneuver controls, Drag X Drive is more of a Drag and it's more of a tech demo to showcase the mouse controls rather than a full fledged $30 game that should be more of a digitally pack-in free title for Switch Online users who bought a Switch 2. In other words, this is just like Switch 2 Welcome Tour in Wheelchair basketball form.

Nothing to say, but I save that $30 for something better and just leave the court for good.

I've seen gameplay of it and while I will praise the uniqueness of it all, I think this should've been a pack-in game with the console. I also heard the game lacks content, so this game is likely going to die quicker than it already will due to the controls.

It looks okay, but not £17/$20-30 worth.

I think this is the first nintendo game i ever played that is creatively uninspiring and bland.

You should check out Steel Diver and Tank Troopers then.

Has more soul then this. At least the character designs in tank troopers have some fun. Steel Diver is probably close tho. Even tho i love that game and its sequel

I still think that this is ARMS but with absolutely no sauce or identity whatsoever, every way that I've seen Nintendo trying to hype this up it feels terrible.

ARMS deserves better man, give it a nice sequel with more stuff to do and expand on the lore and you got a good game in there already.

I would argue that the Steel Diver with 3D environments and controls has more soul than this nothing-burger of a game.

At least it ain't 1-2 Switch but it's close.

When you make a statement like that you gotta write it in Racing Lagoon way!!!: "Drag X Drive is a 【Drag】". lolol

I remember seeing the announcement from that one Nintendo Direct a while back. I liked the CONCEPT of wheelchair basketball with mouse controls, but it somehow managed to become the most forgettable Switch game outside of "1•2 Switch".

People remember 1-2 Switch for the infamy. What they don’t remember is stuff like Flip Wars, The Stretchers, and Good Job!.
