Rumor alert: Sparking! Zero tipped for Nintendo Switch 2 launch

Spanish insider eXtas1s claims Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero will debut on Nintendo Switch 2 as a launch or early-release title. The game, already a hit on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S with 5 million copies sold, is reportedly part of Bandai Namco’s push to support the new console. Sources suggest the Switch 2 version could capitalize on the fighter’s momentum while expanding its audience.

Bandai Namco's strog ties to Nintendo strengthen the claim

Bandai Namco’s partnership with Nintendo is cited as a key factor in the rumor’s plausibility. The publisher has historically backed Nintendo platforms, developing exclusives like Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. eXtas1s notes Bandai’s “privileged” collaboration with Nintendo could fast-track Sparking! Zero to Switch 2, alongside other major titles.

Tekken 8 and Elden Ring also linked to Switch 2 release

The insider’s report extends beyond Dragon Ball, naming Tekken 8 and Elden Ring as potential Switch 2 ports. While technical challenges for these demanding games remain unclear, Bandai’s alleged multi-title strategy suggests a robust lineup for the console. These leaks align with ongoing speculation about third-party support for Nintendo’s next-gen hardware.

Plausibility amid Dragon Ball's multi-platform success

Recent Dragon Ball games, including FighterZ and Xenoverse 2, have thrived on Switch, making Sparking! Zero’s arrival likely. Bandai may prioritize maximizing sales by targeting Switch 2’s install base early. Though unconfirmed, the rumor reflects industry trends publishers often leverage popular franchises to bolster new console launches. Fans await official confirmation as Switch 2’s reveal nears.
