Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Exclusive is Topping the Amazon Sales Charts

An upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive game set to launch next month is currently the best-selling game on Amazon.

Nintendo announced through the Nintendo Today app that the wheelchair sports games, Drag x Drive, will be released exclusively on the Switch 2 on August 14, 2025. Drag x Drive was announced during the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, and gameplay revolves around wheelchair basketball games where sports enthusiasts can compete in 3v3 matches. To flaunt the console’s new tech, the title was crafted with the Joy-Con 2’s mouse mode in mind, and players can also utilize the platform’s motion controls to mimic operating a wheelchair. Additionally, teammates can raise their arms and clap to encourage players to pass the ball, suggesting that the multiplayer will require a lot of activity and provide a good workout.

Fans were not expecting the wheelchair sports game to be a part of the line-up, rubbing shoulders with other surprising Switch 2 Direct reveals, including FromSoftware’s new IP The Duskbloods. Gamers were quick to praise Nintendo’s inclusivity and representation of disabilities, and initial gameplay feedback praised the short learning curve while getting to know the controls and its arcade feel. Comparisons were also made to Rocket League and Wii Sports basketball, and interested parties won’t have long to wait until they can try the game for themselves.
