Nintendo just dropped this wild eight-minute trailer for Drag x Drive. If you haven’t heard about it yet (don’t worry, you’re probably not alone), it’s being whispered in the halls of gaming like your uncle’s questionable dance moves at a wedding: awkward yet kinda fascinating. They’re rolling it out right before some big Global Jam demo thing happening on August 9-10, 2025. Mark those calendars—or don’t. I’m not your boss.
So, here’s the gist: This game first peeked out during the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal. It’s a bit of an oddball, a three-on-three sports fest where you, uh, drag and drive (didn’t see that coming, did you?). The kicker? You’re using these Joy-Con 2 doodads—like mouse controllers—and frankly, I’m impressed anyone thought controlling a game like that wouldn’t end in chaos.
Playing this game? It’s like meeting that person who seems cool at first, but then they start talking about their crystal collection. Intriguing, yet… questions remain. We (meaning me and my neighbor Chad—he’s got opinions) mess around with it a bit, and while wrangling two mouse controls was smoother than expected (seriously, it’s like butter sliding on a hot pan), there’s this looming concern: will people actually play it? I mean, for real?
Dragging this tale to a close, they’re launching it on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch 2 on August 14, 2025, and you can bet someone (probably not Chad) will be there day one. Or not. Who knows?
Drag x Drive: trailers, confusion, and maybe a metaphorical dunk or two. Enjoy the ride—or just watch from the sidelines. It’s all good.
