Drag x Drive: New Overview Trailer Takes the Court

Sure, let me jump in and give this a whirl. So, here’s the scoop—and we’re diving right in—about Nintendo’s latest buzz. Brace yourself for a bit of a ride.

So, Nintendo’s got this new game thing called Drag x Drive, yeah? They slapped up this eight-minute trailer, kinda like a teaser but meatier, right before this Global Jam demo shindig. It’s happening on a weekend, August 9th and 10th, 2025. Mark your calendars or whatever.

This all started with one of those Nintendo Direct showcases. You know the drill. They pop up with unexpected stuff, sometimes. Anyway, Drag x Drive—it’s a three-on-three, online sports gig. Sounds like a whole hullabaloo. Players gotta juggle mouse controls and both Joy-Con 2s (is that how you pluralize them?), like steer, speed, tricks, dunks, the whole shebang. Might sound wild. Maybe it is. Maybe it isn’t. Hard to tell from a trailer, honestly.

I had a crack at it—unexpected fun kinda sums it up. But, and here’s the kicker, left me chewing over some bits. I wrote this thing after my hands-on go: “Too many questions about Drag x Drive to pin down my thoughts properly. Dual mouse controls were a surprise win, but will it hook folks in and keep ‘em playing?” Big shrug right there.

Hanging around for the grand release? It’s hitting the Nintendo eShop, only for Nintendo Switch 2, globally on August 14, 2025.

Oh, almost forgot—overview trailer’s out for those who want the juicy bits straight from the horse’s mouth. Check it if that’s your thing.
