The ultimate showdown awaits.
Ahead of this weekend’s Drag x Drive: Global Jam, Nintendo has revealed via the Nintendo Today! app that development team members will also be taking part in the Global Jam. Nintendo doesn’t expect players to be able to match the dev team’s abilities just yet, but with practice, “you’ll be speeding around the court and dunking with the best of them.”
Nintendo has also revealed that those participating in the Global Jam will earn 100 Platinum Points and an exclusive icon. For a quick reminder as to what the timings are for the Global Jam, we have it all right here:
