In a surprise development, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been rated for the yet-to-be-released Nintendo Switch 2, despite no official confirmation from Bandai Namco or Nintendo. The leak emerged from a now-deleted tweet posted by the Saudi General Authority of Media Regulation, which briefly listed the game as part of the Switch 2’s upcoming lineup, assigning it a 12+ age rating.
The tweet described the game as delivering dynamic 3D battles and branching storylines influenced by player choices. While the message was quickly taken down, its wording and official nature left little doubt that a Switch 2 version of the game is in the works. This unexpected reveal has sparked new speculation around Nintendo’s next-generation console and the titles that may accompany its launch.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is a spiritual successor to the beloved Budokai Tenkaichi series and promises an expansive roster filled with iconic characters. Each fighter brings unique transformations and abilities to the arena, maintaining the high-energy, over-the-top combat that the franchise is known for. The game leans into nostalgia, reviving the chaotic fun of earlier Dragon Ball fighters while modernizing visuals and mechanics.
Though it hasn’t been officially tied to the Switch 2, this rating strongly hints that Bandai Namco is preparing a port alongside other platforms. Whether this suggests the Switch 2 will launch with major third-party support remains to be seen, but the presence of a heavyweight anime title like this one certainly bodes well.
At Tech News Today, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero earned a respectable 7/10. While it may rely heavily on retro design choices that won’t please every modern gamer, the charm of its unbalanced yet wildly entertaining gameplay still shines through. If the Switch 2 version holds up technically, it could offer a welcome addition to the console’s fighting game library right from the start.
