Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero Confirmed for Nintendo Switch 2 by Saudi Ratings Board

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been rated for Nintendo Switch 2, sparking excitement among fans even before any official announcement that the fighting game will be available on the new console.

While we still await confirmation from the developers 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, highlighted by the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit, has given us a sneak peek.

"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 declared before its removal, also noting that the game had secured a 12+ rating.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero elevates the iconic gameplay of the Budokai Tenkaichi series to new heights, boasting an "incredible number" of playable characters, each with their unique abilities, transformations, and techniques.

In our IGN Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero review, we awarded it a 7/10, stating: "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, maintaining a price of $449.99, and they sold out almost instantly. On the same day, Nintendo issued a warning to U.S. customers who pre-ordered through the My Nintendo Store, indicating that due to high demand, release date delivery was not guaranteed.
