Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been rated for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, despite no official announcement confirming its release on the new console. While we await confirmation that this game, inspired by Akira Toriyama's beloved anime and manga series, will indeed be available on the Switch 2, a now-deleted tweet from the Saudi General Authority of Media Regulation, spotted by the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit, seems to have spilled the beans.
"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 confirmed that the game has 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, 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."
Pre-orders for the Nintendo Switch 2 opened on April 24, with the console priced at $449.99. The pre-orders were met with overwhelming demand, as expected. 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 could not be guaranteed due to the high volume of orders.
