One of Nintendo’s new releases this Summer, aside from Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World, is Drag x Drive. This game utilizes the new mouse controls on the Joy-Con 2’s. Today, Nintendo released a new overview trailer for Drag x Drive.
The Drag x Drive overview trailer goes over the game’s customization, basic controls, and how the game plays, such as dunking, passing, shooting, and performing tricks.
Here are the features of Drag x Drive via Nintendo:
- Hop into online lobbies for matches with players from near and far. Once 6 players join, a game will automatically start! Up to 12 people can join a Public Park.
- You can also get a group of friends together (with or without GameChat) to play in Friend Parks, which are private parks where you can pick and choose what you’d like to do. Make use of two courts for games and play matches with up to 6 players in one court. You can also compete against each other in additional challenges to try and earn the top spot on your park’s leaderboard!
- Offline, you can also play alone against computer-controlled opponents to hone your skills.
- Choose from a selection of three different drivers to suit your preferred play style: Guard, Center or Forward. Each driver has their own stats, so be sure to find the one that complements your game.
- Looking for a change of pace? Hop off the court and race around a track in the Circuit Sprint minigame, compete in shooting contests or Park-wide minigames like Rebound Scramble, jump rope to practice bunny hopping and more.
- Complete challenges to earn in-game trophies and unlock customizable helmets, which you can use to personalize your driver’s appearance. Match them up with your choice of armor, frames and tires, customize colors and add your preferred number to complete your look!
