Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero Rumored for Nintendo Switch 2: Saudi Ratings Hint

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been unexpectedly rated for the Nintendo Switch 2, hinting at an upcoming release on the new console, despite no official announcement from the developers. This intriguing development came to light through a now-deleted tweet from the Saudi General Authority of Media Regulation, which was initially shared on the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit.

The tweet, which was swiftly taken down, stated, "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," and confirmed the game had secured a 12+ rating. This suggests fans of Akira Toriyama's iconic anime and manga series might soon enjoy the game on the new console.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero elevates the legendary gameplay of the Budokai Tenkaichi series to new heights, offering an extensive roster 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."
