Nintendo Switch 2 is finally getting its own wild and fast-paced exclusive — and it’s not your average sports game. Drag x Drive, a futuristic, wheelchair-style 3v3 basketball title, is officially launching on August 14, 2025, as a digital-only release priced at $19.99 / £16.99. But here’s the catch: it’s only coming to Nintendo Switch 2, so original Switch owners are out of luck.
So, what’s Drag x Drive all about? Imagine high-speed, arcade-style wheelchair basketball in neon-lit arenas, mixed with half-pipe tricks and motion-based madness. The game takes full advantage of the Switch 2’s new “mouse mode” Joy-Con controls — each controller represents a wheel. You slide both to move forward, steer with one to turn, and flick to shoot the ball. It’s a super intuitive system that feels like a mini cardio workout while pulling off crazy dunks and dodging your opponents.
The gameplay isn’t just for show, either. Early impressions say it “controls perfectly,” thanks to its clever motion mechanics. The arenas are filled with ramps and obstacles that encourage players to chain together stylish moves and score big. Plus, you can play online in 3v3 matches or go solo with bots, so there’s always a way to jump in.
It’s a game that blends accessibility-inspired controls with pure, chaotic fun — and it’s already getting buzz for how unique and energetic it feels. Whether you’re looking to show off with trick shots or just want something totally different on your Switch 2, Drag x Drive might be your next go-to multiplayer title.
