Nintendo’s Wheelchair Game: Because Accessibility Needed More Pain

Nintendo's new Switch 2 release, Drag x Drive, ambitiously tries to shake up wheelchair sports games but delivers a confusing mess that left one reviewer 'baffled and in significant pain.' You control wheeled robots in three-on-three wheelchair basketball using Joy-Cons pushed and pulled across a surface, which sounds innovative until it just feels vaguely sad. The game has 'three mostly indistinct flavors: guard, center, and forward,' proving variety isn’t always a winning move. Sometimes trying new things just means new ways to feel terrible about your choices.
