After watching the actual demonstration, some industry insiders believed that this game is more like a technical demonstration showing the upgrade characteristics of Joy-Con.The amount of game content is indeed limited: the horizontal moving handle can simulate the wheelchair's travel trajectory, and the hand-raising action corresponds to the shooting/receiving operation.Although this design cleverly demonstrates the mouse mode of the new Joy-Con, the tester reported that the long-term comfort of holding is not as good as that of the traditional mouse. Although the Switch2 supports USB mouse access, it is difficult to adapt to the special operating needs of this game.

It is worth noting that Nintendo's previously launched $10 pricing system demonstration software "Welcome Journey" has caused controversy over the need to be matched with 4K TVs and camera accessories.In comparison, although the picture quality of "Drag x Drive" is not at the top level, the complete gaming experience may be more attractive.Whether this pricing strategy indicates that Lao Ren will open a new front for "lightweight first-party games" is worthy of continuous attention.
