Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been rated for Nintendo Switch 2 ahead of any official announcement that the fighting game is coming to the new console. While we still don't have confirmation that the game, based on Akira Toriyama's fan-favorite anime and manga series, is coming to Switch 2, a now-deleted tweet from the Saudi General Authority of Media Regulation, spotted by 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 it had secured a 12+ rating.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero takes the legendary gameplay of the Budokai Tenkaichi series and elevates it to new heights, boasting "an incredible number" of playable characters, each with signature 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 went live on April 24, with the price still set at $449.99 — and they went about as well as you'd expect. 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, indicating that release date delivery was not guaranteed due to very high demand.
