One of Nintendo’s weakest first-party exclusives of the year is Drag x Drive. Released shortly following the launch of the Switch 2, this mouse-mode focused Basketball title failed to impress with relatively tiring controls and a strong lack of content. As they have been doing with many of their early Switch 2 releases however, Drag x Drive has now gotten a somewhat notable content update alongside a free demo.
Releasing the surprise update, Nintendo shared the full list of patch notes for Drag x Drive version 1.2.0. Available now, the most notable additions include the following:
- Added the chasing game ‘Survival Tag’ to friend parks, local wireless parks, and LAN parks.
- Collision changes made to account for potential latency
- Made some adjustments to bots in friend parks, local wireless parks, and LAN parks.
- Changed the target of the Focus Cam when near the sumo ring to the sumo ring itself
- Added a feature to enable players to delete their own records
- Previous Drag x Drive: Global Jam renamed to ‘demo’ and is now available whenever
- Various bug fixes
While far from the most exciting update, it is somewhat encouraging at the very least to see that Nintendo haven’t already abandoned the game.
Whether Drag x Drive will see any significant updates or additions to its content, we will have to wait and see, but this is still better than nothing.
KitGuru says: What do you think of this update? How have Nintendo’s post-launch updates been so far? Will Drag x Drive ever get any new substantial content? Let us know down below.
