Nintendo's upcoming Switch 2 remains shrouded in mystery, but whispers from the industry are starting to emerge. A notable leak from insider eXtas1s, known for reliable information, suggests a major fighting game could be a launch title: Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO.
eXtas1s points to Bandai Namco, the publisher of Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO and numerous other titles in the iconic franchise, as a key Nintendo partner. This collaboration, the insider claims, will bring the latest Dragon Ball game to the Switch 2 at launch. Released in October 2024, Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO achieved phenomenal success, selling over 3 million copies in its first 24 hours—an exceptional feat for a fighting game, particularly an arena fighter.
This isn't expected to be an isolated case. eXtas1s also hints at plans to port other popular titles to the Switch 2, including Tekken 8 and Elden Ring, further solidifying the partnership between Bandai Namco and Nintendo.
