Drag x Drive

It is possible to take part in many sports disciplines using wheelchairs. Nintendo has decided to base its unusual sports game titled Drag x Drive on this assumption. We control robots moving on two-wheeled vehicles reminiscent of wheelchairs, which play a kind of variation on the theme of basketball.

Gameplay

In Drag x Drive we watch the action from a third-person perspective (TPP). The pillar of the game is taking part in matches between two three-person teams, during which each team tries to throw the ball into the opponent's basket. To take control over the ball, we need to lift it from the ground or knock it out of the opponents' hands. Additionally, the arenas were matches take place are topped with ramps, which allow us to rise into the air and perform various tricks.

Motion controls

Compared to most sports games, Drag x Drive stands out due to its control scheme. The game uses the mouse mode of Joy-Con 2 controllers. In order to move around the field, we have to mimic the movements of a wheelchair. A single controller is assigned to one wheel, so if we want to speed up, we need to move two Joy-Cons at the same time, and if we want to turn, we need to make the appropriate movement with the correct controller.
