Having been hands-on with the game, however, Drag x Drive has left me baffled and in significant pain. My Drag x Drive experience revolved around desperately trying to get the Joy-Cons to register consistently across tables, floors, my bed, and my body. Yet, these actions on their suggested surfaces only contribute to an unresponsiveness that makes controlling Drag x Drive laborious. But Drag x Drive isn’t just an onscreen experience, it’s a physical one. Drag x Drive is visually easy to parse, with opposition players highlighted prominently and indicators for what’s happening offscreen being bright and bold.
