Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been rated for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, hinting at its arrival on the new console even before any official announcement. While we await confirmation that this game, inspired by Akira Toriyama's beloved anime and manga series, will indeed grace the Switch 2, a now-deleted tweet from the Saudi General Authority of Media Regulation, as noted by the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit, has provided compelling evidence.
"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. It also confirmed that the game had secured a 12+ rating.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero elevates the iconic gameplay of the Budokai Tenkaichi series to new heights, featuring "an incredible number" of playable characters, each with unique abilities, transformations, and techniques.
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 console priced at $449.99. As expected, the pre-orders sold out rapidly. On the same day, Nintendo issued a warning to U.S. customers who pre-ordered from the My Nintendo Store, stating that release date delivery could not be guaranteed due to overwhelming demand.
