The gaming world is buzzing with excitement following the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2, though specifics remain scarce. A notable insider, eXtas1s, renowned for their reliable leaks, has shed light on what could be a major launch title for the new console: Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO. According to eXtas1s, Bandai Namco, a prominent publisher behind the Dragon Ball series, is poised to be a key partner for Nintendo, making the latest Dragon Ball game a prime candidate for a launch title on the Switch 2.
Released in October 2024, Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO has already made waves by selling over 3 million copies within the first 24 hours of its launch. Such a feat is particularly remarkable for a fighting game, especially within the arena fighter genre, underscoring its potential as a blockbuster title for the Nintendo Switch 2. This move aligns with Bandai Namco's strategy to capitalize on the popularity of the Dragon Ball franchise and solidify its partnership with Nintendo.
In addition to Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, eXtas1s hinted at other major titles set to make their way to the Nintendo Switch 2. Among these are ports of Tekken 8 and Elden Ring, further cementing the collaboration between Bandai Namco and Nintendo. These games are expected to enhance the Switch 2's lineup, offering fans a diverse range of high-quality gaming experiences right from the console's launch.
