Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero Coming to Nintendo Switch 2, Saudi Board Hints

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been rated for Nintendo Switch 2, sparking excitement among fans even before an official announcement was made about the fighting game's arrival on the new console. While we still await confirmation that the game, based on Akira Toriyama's beloved anime and manga series, will indeed come to Switch 2, a now-deleted tweet from the Saudi General Authority of Media Regulation, spotted by the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit, suggests otherwise.

"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 its removal, confirming the game had secured a 12+ rating.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero elevates the legendary gameplay of the Budokai Tenkaichi series to new heights, featuring "an incredible number" of playable characters, each equipped with their signature abilities, transformations, and techniques. In our IGN Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero review, we awarded it a 7/10, praising it for being "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 console priced at $449.99. The pre-orders were met with the high demand you'd expect. On the same day, Nintendo issued a warning to U.S. customers who pre-ordered through the My Nintendo Store, stating that release date delivery was not guaranteed due to the overwhelming demand.
