It's very strange that a game such as this got the greenlight from Nintendo. The concept is terrible imo because did anyone every think to themselves "I wish there was a wheelchair basketball game", but it's not just that.

The graphics are terribly bland and color palette is drab as hell.

Look at this:

Who is for? It looks like F2P Steam slop that gets shut down after a week because of the lack of players. The effects are shit.

The name, "Drag x Drive" is also so unremarkable and forgettable. I guess it's just one of those throwaway games created to show off the new controls, like ARMS was on the Switch 1, but at least that looked to have a semblance of charm.

Whereas this just looks like a weak attempt at ripping off Rocket League with handicapped characters.

This has potential to go down as the worst Nintendo first-party game ever IMO.

 

[STARSBarry]

Don't know what your on about, looks wheely good to me. Can't wait for it to roll out.

 

[Hookshot]

It's as bad as Blast ball looked, no idea why the arenas are so bland.

Give the disabled a bit of joy and color lol.

I hope you don't miss your shot at playing this game and have a ball if you do.

 

[Baemono]

I bought ARMS, won't be buying WHEELCHAIRS

 

[STARSBarry]

I hope you don't miss your shot at playing this game and have a ball if you do.

Don't worry I'm sure to take it for a spin.

 

[Woopah]

Very bland and grey. As you say it doesn't have the charm of Arms.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I don't know how this got greenlit? They could have made a Mario paint or Balloon Fight, or a mini game collection.

Why in the world would you want a game with a person or robot with disability? If Nintendo was smart, and they wanted to be inclusive, make a new character that has disability and include them in Mario Kart or something. That would be cool!

Did Nintendo go woke and failed at it? I truly am perplexed.

 

[Magic Carpet]

Looks about as bland as rocket league and that was super popular.

 

[TheChadOfGaming]

probably costs an arm and 2 legs with switch 2 prices

 

[nial]

I was legit laughing out loud when this shit suddenly appeared.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

You know how ARMS would be great? Have Capcom make a 2d Fighter with the ARMS characters and your loadouts change your fighting style. That would be neat.

 

[nial]

It does have better graphical fidelity than Mario Kart and Donkey Kong when you look at it, though.

 

[Kagoshima_Luke]

First off, you need a flat surface in front of you to play. 2nd, that surface has to be at a comfortable level. 3rd, you have to pick up the "mouse" to make a shot, and that seems really unintuitive and uncomfortable considering I lightly move a mouse around with thumb and pinkie.

The whole thing just seems unfun.

Funniest moment of the presentation.

Those first two things I thought you were referring to using a wheelchair...

They see me rollin'
They hatin'

OMG, a new Mario Paint would have been amazing... instead we get this. damn....

 

[Fess]

It's totally going to be a sleeper hit since it actually brings something new to the table in an otherwise sleeping industry. Dual mouse controls is cool enough, doing it for wheelchair controls is just brilliant and using gyro for shots makes it perfect. Should do a full wheelchair Paralympics game!

 

[lughnasadh123]

So you're saying this game won't have legs?

 

[bender]

Stop being mean to Topher

Topher and coming in the same post?

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Arms died for this

 

[ObservantApe]

 

[Mr Hyde]

Looks super bizarre. I don't know what to make of it. Truly one of a kind.

 

[MayauMiao]

Whoever was in charge of the graphics, I bet its from a he/she/they/them.

 

[Blitzkrieg!]

OP has a severe case of NDS

 

[bender]

Arms died for this

Will I go to robot hell if I correct you and say "actually, legs died for this"?

 

[Portugeezer]

Arms died for this

People's arms will also die for this.

 

[MrJangles]

New video. Looks good...

 

[Mr.ODST]

Seen on social the only people excited for this game is people who are in wheelchairs or disabled as its some form of representation?

From my general view it doesn't look fun to play

 

[alphachino]

OP has a severe case of NDS

Yeah, I've got those Nintendo DSes coming out of my pores!

 

[Fbh]

Literally looks like a student project or something you'd see coming out of some game jam.
It's almost like they were done prototyping it with the placeholder assets and then just went "fuck it, let's just release it like this".

 

[Dr Cowley]

 

[Trogdor1123]

I clicked yes but meant no. The game seems like a tech demo to me. Neat features but not something I'd call fun

 

[Gamer79]

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Yo, we're gonna get some Hot Wheels up in here

Ya'll.

 

[Jack Videogames]

I'm one of the biggest Switch 2 simps I know (yes, even after yesterday, give me monke) and I tell you this: it looks like a chinese Steam asset flip copy of Rocket League that would sell for 0.99e and have 1000 achievements

One after the other lol, making a shitty week better.

Why do you think it is woke? Is it really woke to have a gamer who is not in a wheelchair play a character in a wheelchair?

 

[bender]

[Danjin44]

Yeah I have zero interest in this game.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I want Answer Nintendo. Who the F&%$ thought this was a good enough idea to Greenlight a project!?

Good god…what a disaster! We thought pokemon scarlet and violet was a disaster. Nintendo said "hold my beer".

 

[anyasok]

This game is literally DEI

 

[Mr Moose]

 

[gaheris]

This game is literally DEI

More like they wanted to find a way to use both mouse controls at once and this is what they came up with.

 

[yurinka]

Yes, Rocket League: Paralympics Edition looks boring

I don't think anyone thought a game where you control a vehicle hitting a ball into a net would be great either so I'll hold off on judging it for now.
