Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Rated for Nintendo Switch 2 in Saudi Arabia The internationally acclaimed Dragon Ball franchise is poised to make a significant impact on Nintendo’s next-generation platform, as Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been officially rated for the Nintendo Switch 2 in Saudi Arabia.

This notable development positions the latest entry in the iconic fighting game series, developed by Spike Chunsoft and published by Bandai Namco, for a potential release on Nintendo’s much-anticipated hardware upgrade. The Saudi General Authority of Media Regulation, responsible for classifying entertainment software in the region, recently published a listing that includes a Nintendo Switch 2 version of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero.

The rating, which was soon highlighted by the GamingLeaksAndRumors community, offers a clear indicator that Bandai Namco is planning continued support for the Nintendo ecosystem well into its next hardware cycle. Bandai Namco has long enjoyed commercial and critical success with Dragon Ball titles on Nintendo’s platforms.

Both Dragon Ball FighterZ and Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot were previously released for the Nintendo Switch, demonstrating strong sales and an enthusiastic player base.

With the improved performance capabilities expected from the Switch 2, the prospect of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero leveraging enhanced visuals and smoother gameplay is generating buzz among both fans and industry analysts. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero represents the fourth main installment in the Budokai Tenkaichi series.

While past titles outside Japan have carried the Budokai Tenkaichi branding, this latest entry adopts the 'Sparking!' title worldwide—a nod to its original Japanese moniker.

Developed by Spike Chunsoft, the game delivers dynamic team-based battles, allowing players to select their favorite Dragon Ball characters and execute spectacular, fast-paced combos either solo or in five-character teams. Critical reception for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has been overwhelmingly positive.

Upon launch for PlayStation 5 in 2024, respected industry site Push Square awarded the fighting game an 8 out of 10, praising its faithful adaptation of the series’ high-octane action and robust roster of characters. Bandai Namco’s commitment to supporting Nintendo platforms, underscored by contributions such as the Switch port of Elden Ring, further strengthens the case for Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero’s Switch 2 release.

While an official announcement from either Bandai Namco or Nintendo remains pending, the Saudi rating is a credible indicator that fans can anticipate battling as their favorite Saiyans on Nintendo’s next console.
