Drag x Drive was one of the under-the-radar announcements during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct. As modern times progress, the gaming world has stayed on top of where life for its consumers may be. Studios producing games with story plots that many gamers can relate to in real life is inspirational. Nintendo game developers have stepped their game up consistently with representation of gamers in the game and accessibility assistance while playing the game. A notable game series that has touched the hearts and souls of gamers is Life Is Strange.

It feels great to play a video game and feel so touched that you can mentally put yourself in the main character’s body while you do great things. As the highly anticipated Switch 2 release is becoming sweeter and sweeter with every direct presentation, we also get to witness real-life accessibility representation. What Nintendo has for wheelchair players will be a tear-joker for sure (no need to blame any onions this time).

Drag x Drive Shows Off Nintendo Switch 2 Joy-Con Features

Drag x Drive is a unique sports game that puts the users in charge using their Joy Con mouse feature to maneuver their characters.  A 3v3 wheelchair basketball game setup in an arena that has skatepark-like ramps! Do you know how amazing that is? Gamers in wheelchairs who enjoy the game of basketball are going to love this! From what we see so far, it’s going to be wheelchair gamers living out their Harlem Globetrotters dreams!

With the game being released sometime this summer (meaning, yes, it will be on the Switch 2), there are some positive questions to keep in mind. Will there be character appearance customization options available? For example, will the gamers be able to have different wheelchairs to choose from in design? What about the stadiums? Will there be different stadiums to play in instead of the initial stadium we saw in the trailer?

Final Thoughts

What are your thoughts about this game so far? From what we can see, it’s a unique game that also includes representation for wheelchair gamers, which is caring, creative, and much appreciated already. What do you think about the possibilities of this game? Will it influence developers to create more games that have wheelchair representation as the main character or working with a team of friends? The possibilities of these mew ideas are endless and can be the catalyst for disability accessibility of many kinds to be represented in games can go a variety of ways.
