Author: Samuel May 05,2025

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been rated for the Nintendo Switch 2, sparking excitement among fans even before any official announcement that the fighting game would be coming to the new console. While there's still no confirmation from the developers, a now-deleted tweet from the Saudi General Authority of Media Regulation, as spotted by the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit, inadvertently confirmed the game's arrival on Switch 2.

"Experience the fighting action in the latest game Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero. Available on Nintendo Switch 2, featuring 3D battles and storylines that change based on your choices," the tweet stated before being removed. It also mentioned that the game had secured a 12+ rating.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero elevates the legendary gameplay of the Budokai Tenkaichi series to new heights. It boasts an impressive roster of playable characters, each equipped with signature abilities, transformations, and techniques that bring the world of Akira Toriyama's beloved anime and manga to life.

In our IGN Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero review, we awarded it a 7/10, noting: "Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a final flash from the past, sometimes to a fault, but the feeling of traveling back to a simpler time when games didn’t have to be balanced or competitive to be fun is still a good one."

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders became available on April 24, with the price set at $449.99. As expected, the pre-orders sold out quickly. On the same day, Nintendo issued a warning to U.S. customers who applied for a Switch 2 pre-order from the My Nintendo Store, stating that release date delivery was not guaranteed due to the overwhelming demand.
