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

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been rated for the Nintendo Switch 2, despite no official announcement about 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, which was shared on the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit, suggests otherwise.

"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 it was removed, confirming that it had received 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 their unique abilities, transformations, and techniques.

In our IGN Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero review, we rated it 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, priced at $449.99, and they sold out quickly as expected. On the same day, Nintendo issued a warning to U.S. customers who pre-ordered the Switch 2 from the My Nintendo Store, noting that release date delivery could not be guaranteed due to the overwhelming demand.
