Nintendo Download: Get Ready for a Whole New Ballgame With Drag X Drive, Available Now!

It’s a big week on the Download, as EA Sports Madden NFL makes its return to Nintendo consoles, along with a host of additional releases.

HIKE

Yep, it’s back. Not seen on a Nintendo console since the Wii U (or 3DS, whichever came last), EA Sports Madden NFL is a premier series in the gaming multiverse. So even if you’re not necessarily into football, and while it likely won’t have the same graphics performance featured on other platforms, it’s still kind of a big moment.

Aside from EA Sports Madden NFL 26 though, this week also brings a host of notable additional releases. The motion-gaming enabled, wheelchair basketball/rugby title Drag X Drive finally wheels onto the Switch 2, plus Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown, and a pair of Toaplan Arcade Collections.

Nintendo eShop on Nintendo Switch 2:

• Drag X Drive – Inspired by a mix of wheelchair basketball, wheelchair rugby, wheelchair motocross and skateboarding, the Drag X Drive game brings the next generation of 3-on-3 sports to the Nintendo Switch 2 system! Move your wheels by sliding both Joy-Con 2 controllers forward to move ahead or move just one controller to quickly turn. Once you grab the ball, use motion controls¹ to shoot, pass, dunk and score extra points by performing tricks! Mix things up with a variety of activities, including the Circuit Sprint racing minigame, shooting contests and more. Plus, complete challenges to earn trophies and unlock customizable helmets! Drag X Drive is available today for Nintendo Switch 2.
