Drag x Drive Overview

Image

Drag x Drive is a 3v3 basketball game developed and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch 2, released on August 14, 2025. Positioned as a brand-new IP, it stands among the early first-party exclusives for the new console.

The game pits players in neon-lit arenas in fast-paced 3-on-3 wheelchair basketball matches. Here, players aim to score more points than their opponents. Both local and online multiplayer are supported, with up to six players able to compete.

The main feature of the game is its use of the Switch 2’s dual Joy-Con 2 mouse-mode controls. Each Joy-Con functions like a computer mouse. Pushing both forward moves the chair, one pushes pivots, and flicking simulates shooting. These motion-haptic inputs mimic the feel of pushing a wheelchair and shooting a basketball.

Drag x Drive Gameplay

Image

Drag x Drive is a team-based 3v3 basketball game on wheelchairs, where players can only move by using both of their Joy-Con 2 controllers as mice across flat surfaces in order to propel their characters on the field. Sliding both JoyCons at the same time will wheel the characters accordingly. Once a player gains control of the ball, they can raise their hand and perform a throwing motion in order to shoot the ball in-game. They can also raise their hands to wave and signal with their teammates to communicate in the middle of the round, allowing for strategies to unfold.
