Expanded Nintendo Switch 2 Library Surprises with Dragon Ball Sparking Zero Success
Since its launch, the Nintendo Switch 2 has steadily expanded its library with major third-party games appealing to a wide range of players. While some initial ports of significant titles failed to meet technical expectations, leading to negative reactions upon new game announcements, the release of Dragon Ball Sparking Zero in 2024 ultimately defied those concerns.
Dragon Ball Sparking Zero, which launched on consoles and PC on October 7, 2024, eventually arrived on the Nintendo Switch 2. With over 180 fighters and detailed stage settings, it is intended to be the definitive Dragon Ball game, upholding the legacy of the Tenkaichi series. The Switch 2 announcement raised concerns about performance on Nintendo’s hardware, especially given its simultaneous release on the original Switch. Despite fears of a subpar port, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero performs well on both Switch 2 and the original Switch.
Despite initial concerns, Dragon Ball Sparking Zero runs smoothly on both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2. While its visuals may not match those of the PS5 or Xbox Series X, online comparisons confirm a solid port. Though locked at 30 fps on both Switch consoles, it maintains a smooth framerate, even in handheld mode. While the original Switch has a lower resolution than the Switch 2, both consoles run the game effectively. Dragon Ball Sparking Zero’s smooth performance on both Nintendo Switch consoles is a welcome surprise.
