I’m not sure it would make much sense to put Drag x Drive into Nintendo Switch Sports. That game is all real-world sports and is meant to be more grounded, whereas this is trying to be a more experimental fantasy sport.
Wheelchair basketball is a real sport, at least. It didn’t need the punk veneer, but they could have easily turned the core mechanics of Drag x Drive into a standard wheelchair basketball game mode, complete with Miis and a more wholesome aesthetic that probably would have been received more warmly as a creative and inclusive addition to the game.

I’ve not really looked into it, but my impression was it was just wheelchair basketball with a weird pseudo sci-fi aesthetic. Is that not the case?
