Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero Coming to Nintendo Switch 2, Says Saudi Ratings Board

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been rated for the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, despite no official announcement yet confirming its release on the new console. The gaming community is buzzing with anticipation, as fans of Akira Toriyama's iconic anime and manga series eagerly await more news.

A now-deleted tweet from the Saudi General Authority of Media Regulation, which was shared by the Gaming Leaks and Rumours subreddit, inadvertently confirmed the game's availability on the Nintendo Switch 2. The tweet, before its removal, 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 mentioned that it had received a 12+ rating.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero elevates the beloved gameplay of the Budokai Tenkaichi series, offering an extensive roster of characters each equipped with unique abilities, transformations, and techniques. In our IGN Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero review, we rated it 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."

Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders began on April 24, maintaining a price point of $449.99. As expected, the pre-orders were met with overwhelming demand. On the same day, Nintendo issued a warning to U.S. customers who had pre-ordered through the My Nintendo Store, indicating that release date delivery was not guaranteed due to the high volume of orders.
