Drag X Drive is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in a month. Except, for a few of you, no it isn't. You're actually getting it the weekend prior!
The game - a wheelchair-backetball sports game and JoyCon tech demo all in one, follows in the footsteps of ARMS for the original Switch console. ARMS was great fun, though it had its own problems that Drag x Drive will need to avoid.
But before the game even gets off the ground, Nintendo will be letting some players come in and give it a try. How do you get in? The most predictable way imaginable: by being a Nintendo Switch Online member.
Per a post on X, the exact dates and times of the event line up with the weekend before the official launch of Drag x Drive. There will be three sessions total, each one only lasting for a few hours. So if you're looking to get hands on balls early (who doesn't?), you'll have to plan ahead.
As Gameranx points out, this early tryout tactic is exactly what Nintendo's done for other games, namely Splatoon. Seems like an effective way to get the game into people's heads shortly before...
