There’s exciting news on the horizon for gamers: a version of Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero may soon be available on the Switch 2. This comes from a recent age rating found in Saudi Arabia, suggesting that the game might soon join the Switch 2’s lineup, enhancing its collection of fighting games.
Originally created by Spike Chunsoft and released by Bandai Namco, Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero made its debut on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC in October 2024. The game made waves immediately by selling three million copies within its first day, and by February 2025, it had surpassed five million in total sales, solidifying its status among the most successful fighting games recently.
It looks like this popular title is making its way to Nintendo’s upcoming console. A Twitter user, Gmedia_Games, reports that the Saudi Arabian rating lists Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero as suitable for ages 12 and up, aligning with earlier ratings. Despite not being confirmed for the Switch 2’s launch lineup, this development hints that the game might arrive sooner rather than later.
Bandai Namco’s upcoming lineup for the Switch 2 already seems impressive, even without Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. The publisher has confirmed several titles, including a much-anticipated Switch 2 rendition of Elden Ring. Fans can also look forward to Tamagotchi Plaza on June 27, and the Dark Pac-Man spin-off, Shadow Labyrinth, slated for July 18. Additionally, Kirby Air Riders, which will be released by Nintendo, is also in the works.
Rumors about Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero heading to the Switch 2 have been circulating since March 2025. If this port becomes a reality, it could quickly become a standout title for fighting game enthusiasts on the new console. At present, Street Fighter 6 is the most significant fighting game confirmed for the Switch 2, available on its release day.
Meanwhile, Nintendo fans are eager to see the Switch 2 in action. The console will feature unique Joy-Con configurations and offer 256GB of internal storage with microSD support. Capable of 1080p in handheld mode and 4K when docked, the Switch 2 will support the Nintendo eShop and come equipped with Wi-Fi capabilities. This development promises to bring a fresh wave of gaming experiences to fans worldwide.
