Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Receives Nintendo Switch 2 Classification from Saudi Arabia’s Game Regulators

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, the highly anticipated fighting game from Bandai Namco Entertainment, has officially received an age classification rating for the Nintendo Switch 2 from Saudi Arabia’s General Authority for Media Regulation – Game Classification.

This certification marks the first concrete sign that the latest Dragon Ball title could be headed for Nintendo’s next-generation portable console, further extending the franchise’s reach onto new hardware. Bandai Namco Entertainment, well known for its strong support of Nintendo platforms, previously confirmed that it plans to bring titles such as Elden Ring Tarnished Edition, Shadow Labyrinth, and Tamagotchi Plaza to Nintendo Switch 2.

With the Saudi regulator’s listing of Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, Bandai Namco demonstrates its ongoing commitment to Nintendo fans and the new platform, though an official announcement from the publisher has yet to be made regarding this specific title. Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero boasts an impressive roster and feature set that have already garnered attention since its worldwide release for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

At the heart of the game are its over 180 playable fighters, drawing from across the Dragon Ball Z, Dragon Ball Super, and Dragon Ball GT anime, as well as selected Dragon Ball movies.

Each character comes equipped with their unique abilities, transformations, and signature combat techniques, offering depth and variety for fans of the franchise and newcomers alike. Players can look forward to exhilarating, high-octane 3D battles, staying true to the anime’s iconic style and featuring visual effects such as spectacular beam clashes, rush attacks, and planet-destroying finishers.

Both online and offline multiplayer modes are supported, giving aspiring champions the chance to challenge friends or the global community in a variety of tournament formats and victory conditions. In addition to its robust combat system, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero invites players to relive legendary moments from the anime through eight different character perspectives, complete with cinematic cutscenes and new unlockable encounters.

For creative minds, the game’s novel creation tools allow players to set up custom battles, develop original story scenarios, and share their experiences with other fans around the world. Since its launch across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero has expanded the legacy of Dragon Ball fighting games with its ambitious scale and faithful adaptation of the source material.

The potential arrival of the title on Nintendo Switch 2, as indicated by the Saudi Game Classification, would continue Bandai Namco Entertainment’s tradition of making major releases accessible to Nintendo audiences via both physical and eShop channels.

As the gaming industry awaits further confirmation, one thing is clear: the Dragon Ball franchise remains as dynamic and far-reaching as ever, with Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero positioned for another successful expansion.
