Drag x Drive Proves the Switch 2's Mouse Mode Controls Are Fantastic
Playing Drag x Drive is unique, reflecting the Switch 2 new tech. You detach each Joy-Con 2 controller from the system, place the sensors face down on a surface (which can range from a table to even your legs), and slide the controllers forward and backward to move the wheels respectively. I actually found it more comfortable on my wrists to use the controllers positioned a little wider on my thighs instead of straight up and down on a table.
Learning to play has a steep curve, and I found my shoulders getting tired quickly as the game kept reminding me that longer strokes would move my character faster on the court. For anyone who experienced Tennis Elbow back when WiiSports came out, Drag x Drive's bodily wear-and-tear will be familiar.

The mouse's controls are good -- better than I expected, in fact. They feel snappy, and I was able to pull off some higher-level maneuvers when I got used to it. And as you move, you can feel a subtle vibration in each hand to help you dial in how much force you're inputting. Moving the controllers at different speeds will adjust the turning radius. Braking (by pressing the R or L buttons) can be done independently of each wheel to further your control. There are even tricks you can pull off by using breaking and lifting the controllers in specific combinations, which the game points out will help you perform more advanced blocks and interceptions.
Controls are the big novelty of Drag x Drive and take time to get used to, though the court and game modes offer their own unique challenges.

Moderately deep mechanics for a $20 game
The primary mode is a 3-minute three-on-three game that's reminiscent of Rocket League (without the jetpacks). There's an indicator always pointing toward the oversized ball. Rolling into it will pick it up. If you're going fast enough (represented by a flashing light on your back) and crashing into someone head-on will knock it loose. And if you raise one of the joy-cons off the surface, you will lift the ball, flicking your wrist will make a shot.
Since the court is kind of a skateboard-style bowl, you can even roll up into the air from the sides and shoot or dunk from above. These trick shots will award players with more granular points, for example, an aerial shot might award you 2.3 instead of the standard two you'd see in typical basketball. But you can still land a three-pointer from outside the boundary, but you'll have to be lined up real well while the other five players aren't slamming into you.
Defense also works just like you'd expect, with positioning playing the most important role. Pressing the R and L buttons together will pass the ball to a teammate. If an opponent is in the way, they can intercept. This is key since I witnessed many teams pass a ball way down the court to an isolated player while we tried to race after them to stop the shot. Like every sport, you'll want to spread out and cover someone instead of clumping all together around the ball, like most new players often do.

While Drag x Drive curiously doesn't refer to anything as a wheelchair (or even highlight the awesome and inclusive sport of wheelchair basketball), it's really wonderful to see this representation. The characters can also be swapped out for one of three unit types: defense, forward or guard, all with different speed and power stats. From there, you can customise your character's outfit and gear, with more to unlock as you play.
Outside of the online play, there are also nine different bot difficulties you can take on, so the game is playable in single player. There are also several minigames stationed around the hub area. These include a timed race and a rebound mode where you need to chase after a bouncing ball in the hub before time runs out. They're pretty short and not all that interesting, but they will reward you with medals to unlock gear. There are also some obstacles positioned around to play with. One example is a giant jump rope that you can bunny hop over.
There isn't a typical career or story campaign to work through -- the main draw is the one core multiplayer mode. Considering the low $20 entry price, I wouldn't expect anything super in-depth, making this more of a unique application of the Switch 2 Joy-Cons' mouse mode than a long-lasting play experience.
Drag x Drive is a shallow experience, but the skill ceiling has a lot of potential. Its low entry price makes it an easy recommendation, even if you're just interested in trying out the new mouse controls that the Switch 2 offers. If Nintendo chooses to support the game with more content in the future, I would love to see limited-time events and more game modes get added, building on the bones of one of the most unique sports games to come out in years.
Drag x Drive comes out on Switch 2 on Thursday.

BEIJING, Aug. 14, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Weibo Corporation ("Weibo" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: WB and HKEX: 9898), a leading social media in China, today announced its unaudited financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2025. "We delivered solid performance this quarter," said Gaofei Wang, CEO of Weibo. "On the user product front, we focused on the integration of social products and upgrade of recommendation system, which are aimed at improving user engagement and content consumption on the platform. On the AI technology application front, our user community of AI-powered intelligent search grew robustly, which further drove the increase of the overall search needs of users. On the monetization front, our advertising business exhibited solid trend this quarter, leveraging our strengths in new product launch marketing and our capability to capture advertising budget during the e-commerce season." Second Quarter 2025 Highlights Net revenues were US$444.8 million, an increase of 2% year-over-year or an increase of 1% year-over-year on a constant currency basis [1]. Advertising and marketing revenues were US$383.4 million, an increase of 2% year-over-year or an increase of 2% year-over-year on a constant currency basis [1]. Value-added services ("VAS") revenues were US$61.4 million, a decrease of 2% year-over-year or a decrease of 2% year-over-year on a constant currency basis [1]. Income from operations was US$145.6 million, an increase of 8% year-over-year, representing an operating margin of 33%. Net income attributable to Weibo's shareholders was US$125.7 million and diluted net income per share was US$0.48. Non-GAAP income from operations was US$161.8 million, an increase of 3% year-over-year, representing a non-GAAP operating margin of 36%. Non-GAAP net income attributable to Weibo's shareholders was US$143.2 million and non-GAAP diluted net income per share was US$0.54. Monthly active users ("MAUs") were 588 million in June 2025. Average daily active users ("DAUs") were 261 million in June 2025. [1] We define constant currency (non-GAAP) by assuming that the average exchange rate in the second quarter of 2025 was the same as it was in the second quarter of 2024, or RMB7.23=US$1.00. Second Quarter 2025 Financial Results For the second quarter of 2025, Weibo's total net revenues were US$444.8 million, an increase of 2% compared to US$437.9 million for the same period last year. Advertising and marketing revenues for the second quarter of 2025 were US$383.4 million, an increase of 2% compared to US$375.3 million for the same period last year. Advertising and marketing revenues excluding advertising revenues from Alibaba were US$347.6 million, an increase of 1% compared to US$342.9 million for the same period last year.

Costs and expenses for the second quarter of 2025 totaled US$299.2 million, a decrease of 1% compared to US$302.5 million for the same period last year. The decrease mainly resulted from the decrease of general and administrative expenses year-over-year, partially offset by the increase in cost of revenues and product development expenses year-over-year. The decrease of general and administrative expenses was primarily due to the collection of an accounts receivable in the second quarter of 2025 which had previously been recognized as bad debt expenses and written off in the past period. Income from operations for the second quarter of 2025 was US$145.6 million, an increase of 8% compared to US$135.4 million for the same period last year.

Non-GAAP diluted net income per share attributable to Weibo's shareholders for the second quarter of 2025 was US$0.54, compared to US$0.48 for the same period last year. As of June 30, 2025, Weibo's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled US$2.11 billion. For the second quarter of 2025, cash provided by operating activities was US$24.8 million, capital expenditures totaled US$17.6 million, and depreciation and amortization expenses amounted to US$14.8 million. Conference Call Weibo's management team will host a conference call from 7:00 AM to 8:00 AM Eastern Time on August 14, 2025 (or 7:00 PM to 8:00 PM Beijing Time on August 14, 2025) to present an overview of the Company's financial performance and business operations. Participants who wish to dial in to the teleconference must register through the below public participant link. Dial-in and instructions will be provided in the confirmation email upon registering. Participants Registration Link: Additionally, a live and archived webcast of this conference call will be available at Non-GAAP Financial Measures This release contains the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP income from operations, non-GAAP net income attributable to Weibo's shareholders, non-GAAP diluted net income per share attributable to Weibo's shareholders and adjusted EBITDA. These non-GAAP financial measures should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of the Company's financial performance prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures exclude stock-based compensation, amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions, net results of impairment and provision on investments, gain/loss on sale of investments and fair value change of investments, non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items on the share of equity method investments, non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items for the income/loss attributable to non-controlling interests, income tax expense related to the amortization of intangible assets resulting from business acquisitions and fair value change of investments (other non-GAAP to GAAP reconciling items have no tax effect), and amortization of issuance cost of convertible senior notes, unsecured senior notes and long-term loans. Adjusted EBITDA represents non-GAAP net income attributable to Weibo's shareholders before interest income/expense, net, income tax expenses/benefits, and depreciation expenses. The Company's management uses these non-GAAP financial measures in their financial and operating decision-making, because management believes these measures reflect the Company's ongoing operating performance in a manner that allows more meaningful period-to-period comparisons. The Company believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others in the following ways: (i) in comparing the Company's current financial results with the Company's past financial results in a consistent manner, and (ii) in understanding and evaluating the Company's current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does. The Company also believes that the non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain expenses, gains/losses and other items (i) that are not expected to result in future cash payments or (ii) that are non-recurring in nature or may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results and business outlook. Use of non-GAAP financial measures has limitations. The Company's non-GAAP financial measures do not include all income and expense items that affect the Company's operations. They may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies. Accordingly, care should be exercised in understanding how the Company defines its non-GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures to the nearest comparable GAAP measures are set forth in the section below titled "Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP to GAAP Results."

EPROLO Launches Groundbreaking "Worry-Free Branding Program" to Empower Influencers with Free Branding Solutions
Shenzhen, China--(Newsfile Corp. - August 14, 2025) - In a transformative move that redefines creator empowerment, EPROLO - the disruptive force behind ethical e-commerce - has launched its revolutionary Worry-Free Branding Program. This initiative embodies EPROLO's fundamental belief that financial barriers should never limit creative entrepreneurship. By providing complete brand launch solutions at zero cost to selected influencers, EPROLO delivers on its mission to democratize commerce and shift power back to creators. "This isn't just about removing costs - it's about removing ceilings," states Mr. Yu, EPROLO's CEO. "While traditional platforms treat influencers as mere marketing channels, we're proving they can be the CEOs of their own brands. True commerce empowerment means giving creators the keys to their own success." The Influencer Branding Dilemma Influencers today command vast audiences, with some amassing millions of followers across social platforms. Yet, despite their reach, many struggle to monetize their influence effectively. One of the biggest barriers is building a brand from scratch. Traditionally, launching a brand requires: Finding reliable suppliers (often with high minimum order quantities, or MOQs) Managing inventory and fulfillment (a logistical nightmare for those without experience) Handling returns and customer service (a major challenge in fashion and lifestyle niches) Many influencers hesitate to take the plunge due to these complexities. The fear of upfront costs, unsold inventory, and supply chain mishaps often holds them back. EPROLO's Solution: No MOQ, Free Samples, and Hassle-Free Fulfillment Recognizing these challenges, EPROLO's Worry-Free Branding Program eliminates the traditional barriers to entry by offering: Zero MOQ (Minimum Order Quantity) - Influencers can start selling without committing to bulk orders. Free Product Samples - Creators can test and showcase products before launching. Seamless Dropshipping Fulfillment - EPROLO handles storage, packaging, and global shipping. 7-Day No-Questions-Asked Returns - A major advantage in fashion, where returns are common. This means influencers can focus solely on marketing, branding, and audience engagement, while EPROLO takes care of the rest. A Game-Changer for Fashion Dropshipping and Brand Building The fashion and lifestyle sectors are notorious for high return rates, often due to sizing issues or subjective preferences. Many budding brands collapse under the weight of after-sales complications. EPROLO's 7-day return policy removes this burden, ensuring that influencers aren't bogged down by logistical nightmares. Moreover, dropshipping has faced criticism in recent years due to thin profit margins and unreliable suppliers. EPROLO's program directly tackles these issues by: Ensuring high-quality fulfillment (no more supplier inconsistencies) Enabling brand customization (helping influencers build long-term customer loyalty) Offering scalability (from small launches to mass sales without inventory risks) The Process: From Brand Creation to Profit Brand Registration - Influencers can name and register their brand by themselves. Apply and Select Products - Apply eligibility and choose from EPROLO's extensive apparel catalog or make their own apparel design. Receive Free Samples - Test products before promoting them. Launch & Market & Sell - Promote the brand via social media, leveraging existing audiences, or even presale to lower the risk of holding the stock. EPROLO Handles the Rest - Orders are automatically fulfilled, shipped, and managed for returns.
