TheNintendo Switch 2 launched with five exclusive games. Switch 2 early adopters have been able to check outMario Kart World,Fast Fusion,Survival Kids,Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, andNintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. BesidesMario Kart World, the Switch 2 exclusives haven’t made that much of a splash, but the good news is that more exclusives for the platform are right around the corner.
Before summer is out, the Switch 2 will be treated to at least two more brand-new exclusive games.Donkey Kong Bananzais the big one, with the highly-anticipated 3D platformer set to launch on July 17. ButDrag x Drivemay also be of interest to fans. Essentially a wheelchair basketball game,Drag x Driveutilizes the Switch 2’s unique mouse functionalityfor its controls.Drag x Driveis primarily a 3v3 multiplayer experience, and while it remains to be seen how content-rich it is, the good news is that it’s only going to be $19.99. And considering how expensive other Switch 2 exclusive games are, that’s a deal that early adopters may want to jump on.
Drag x Drive Price and Release Date
Mario Kart Worldis $79.99 standalone, whileDonkey Kong Bananzawill retail for $69.99.Survival Kidsis a whopping $50, which is wild considering the amount of content it offers.Switch 2 Welcome Tour,Fast Fusion, andBravely Defaultare budget-priced, though, at $10, $15, and $40, respectively. Perhaps the low price forDrag x Drivewill convince more people to pick it up that may have passed otherwise, in turn ensuring that it has a decent player count at launch to support its online multiplayer-focus.
Drag x Driveis a unique concept and it being multiplayer-only is a surprise considering Nintendo’s usual output. It’s also the only pure Switch 2 exclusive with a specific release date besidesDonkey Kong Bananza. We know that theKirby Air Ridersracing gameis launching this year for the Switch 2, but an exact date for the game has yet to be pinned down. Right now, the Switch 2 holiday season is looking pretty bare if you don’t count enhanced Switch 1 ports likeMetroid Prime 4andPokemon Legends: Z-A, but hopefully a Nintendo Direct happens soon to give fans a better idea of what to expect in the months ahead.
