Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero Gets New Trailer Showcasing Switch and Switch 2 Gameplay, Features

by

Approaching November 14, the release date for Nintendo Switch’s “Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO” together with an anticipated Switch 2 upgrade, Bandai Namco has shared a fresh trailer demonstrating how the anime arena fighter will run on Nintendo systems. The video, available to view below, further reveals that over 180 characters from across Dragon Ball’s storied history will be playable in the game.

The trailer showcases several gameplay modes featured in “Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO“, including Episode Battle where players relive key events from the “Dragon Ball” series, assuming roles such as Goku and his adversary Vegeta among others. In this mode, decisions made by players can result in unique, previously unseen conclusions, for instance, showcasing a scenario where Goku transforms into Super Saiyan during his initial battle against Vegeta on Earth, a departure from the traditional “Dragon Ball” narrative.

Instead of the default battles, Custom Battle offers an opportunity for players to craft unique encounters with features such as stage selections, weather conditions, and custom dialogues. These self-designed battles can be shared among global players. A demonstration for the Custom Battle feature highlights a bout between Perfect Cell and Goku, in his Ultra Instinct state.

As a gaming enthusiast, let me share some exciting news about Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO. When it comes to multiplayer action, this game has got you covered both online and offline. For the old-school gamers like myself who prefer gatherings with friends, the local multiplayer mode is a real treat. It can accommodate up to six players in the same epic battle simultaneously, provided you’ve got enough additional controllers or JoyCons lying around.

Now, here’s an interesting twist – if you have more than one Nintendo Switch system, you and your friends can engage in local wireless multiplayer without even needing a single cable! So grab your controllers, gather your squad, and let the ultimate Dragon Ball battle commence!

Regarding unique features found only in Switch versions of both Switch 1 and 2, the game Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO introduces motion-controlled mechanics that let players perform actual movements to trigger in-game actions. For instance, imitating a kamehameha’s hand motions can make your character execute this powerful move. This feature includes popular techniques from the Dragon Ball series, such as Vegeta’s Final Flash and Master Roshi’s technique for capturing demons.

As a dedicated gamer eagerly awaiting the latest Dragon Ball release, I can’t help but get excited when I hear about what comes with pre-ordering this game. The trailer leaves us on a high note by unveiling some fantastic pre-order bonuses. Among these, we’ll be getting Gogeta and Broly, each appearing in not one, not two, but three distinct forms! These powerful characters will be ready for us to play from the get-go.

To add to the excitement, pre-ordering also grants access to a playable character – Goku in his Dragon Ball Daima form. The different versions of the game are something I can’t wait to explore, with the Standard Edition being just the beginning. There will also be a Deluxe Edition and an Ultimate Edition of Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, offering even more content for those who want to dive deeper into the world of Dragon Ball.

The Premium Version of “Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO” offers the main game together with additional content and perks from the Season Pass as DLCs. The Collector’s Edition features all the same content, plus the privilege to summon Super Shenron, along with exclusive cosmetic items such as Goku’s outfit from “Dragon Ball Super” complete with the Power Pole, and a collection of Emote Voices.

Beyond the upcoming launches of Switch and Switch 2, you can also find the game Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO on personal computers (PC), PlayStation 5 (PS5) and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
