August 14 is Going to Be a Big Day for Nintendo Switch 2 Owners

Gamers using the Nintendo Switch 2 can look forward to two exciting new releases dropping on Thursday, August 14 – “Drag x Drive” and “Madden NFL 26”. The Nintendo Switch 2 has enjoyed remarkable success thus far, with sales exceeding 6 million units already. Since its launch in June, the console has been consistently releasing new games, keeping early adopters entertained with a constant stream of fresh gaming experiences.

Upon the debut of Nintendo Switch 2, it was accompanied by the release of Mario Kart World and a few other exclusive games. Subsequently, on July 17, Donkey Kong Bananza made its appearance exclusively on Switch 2, garnering exceptional reviews and ranking among the top-rated new game releases of the year. However, August 14 is a date that owners of Nintendo Switch 2 should watch out for with keen interest.

On August 14, Switch 2 users will enjoy two new games: “Drag x Drive,” an exclusive Nintendo title, and “Madden NFL 26.” The upcoming Nintendo game, “Drag x Drive,” is a multiplayer-centric wheelchair basketball game that aims to utilize the improved mouse controls of Joy-Con 2. On the other hand, “Madden NFL 26” is the latest addition to EA’s popular “Madden” series. The notable aspect of “Madden NFL 26” coming to the Switch 2 is that it represents the first time a “Madden” game has been released on a Nintendo platform since “Madden NFL 13,” which was launched for the Wii U in 2012.

Switch 2 is Getting Drag x Drive and Madden NFL 26 on the Same Day

Fans of the Madden NFL series, especially those using Nintendo consoles, have been eagerly anticipating another installment for an astonishing 13 years now. The upcoming Madden NFL 26 seems quite promising based on early reviews, and it’s reported to perform smoothly on the Switch 2. Although other versions might boast superior graphics, the convenience of playing Madden NFL anytime, anywhere with the Switch 2 could generate substantial excitement for this particular version.

It seems like “Drag x Drive” could be an entertaining title too, and it’s quite intriguing for Nintendo. The game is set to launch at a budget-friendly price of $19.99, allowing potential buyers to try before they commit. For those with a Nintendo Switch Online subscription, there’s a chance to join the “Drag x Drive” Global Jam on August 9 from 3am to 7am PT, and again from 5pm to 9pm PT. The final session of the Global Jam will take place on August 10 from 9am to 1pm PT. Although Switch 2 owners have to wait until August 14 to experience the full game, they can start testing “Drag x Drive” earlier.
