Players who already own the Nintendo Switch version can upgrade to the Nintendo Switch 2 version with an Upgrade Pack for 550 yen (tax included).

Lastly, here’s an overview of the game, via Gematsu:
Bang! Bang! Bandits is a completely original gun shooting game that, while preserving the tension and exhilaration of the classic gun shooting game genre, features simple rules and controls, bright pop-style characters, and an easy-to-understand world, allowing people of all ages to play with peace of mind.
Key Features
Simple Rules and Controls Enable Anyone to Play – Using the Joy-Con like a handgun, simply hold it in one hand, aim at the enemies on the screen, and shoot! With unlimited ammo, you can shoot endlessly and stress-free. Plus, since field movement is fully automatic, you can focus entirely on attacking. In addition, the rules are simple and straightforward—your score is based on the coins you collect by defeating enemies and destroying obstacles, so even young children can play with ease.
Packed with Fun Across 12 Stages and Two Leagues – The game features 12 distinct stages set in environments such as a jungle, city, ruins, and caves. After clearing all stages in the standard-difficulty “Normal League,” the max-difficulty “Wild League” awaits!
Unique Enemy Characters Wreak Havoc All Over the Screen – As you defeat enemies called “Goomins” that rain down on you one after another, make your way to the end of each stage, where a brutal boss awaits!
Enjoy Two Gameplay Styles with Challenge Mode and Battle Modes – In “Challenge Mode,” you start from lower-level stages and work your way up to the most difficult ones. You can play solo or in a team of two to four players, cooperating with family and friends to clear each stage. Additionally, two to four players can compete for the high score in “Single Battle” (individual play), or two teams of two players each can face off in “Team Battle.”
It’s been 18 years since Nintendo fans were captivated by Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and its massive roster on the Wii. Coincidentally, it’s been 15 years since the previous game in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, Dragon Ball Z: Tenkaichi Tag Team, graced the PlayStation Portable as well. All these years later, Nintendo fans can now play the latest game in the series, Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO, on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2. Despite some technical setbacks, Dragon Ball Sparking ZERO is a great time on Nintendo Switch 2, with the core features of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions included.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is the latest entry in the Budokai Tenkaichi series, and as our initial review in October 2024 described, it’s a true love letter to the Dragon Ball franchise and all of its genre-defining arcs. With 182 characters in the base roster, Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO carries on the legacy of the games before it with very fun game befitting of the Budokai Tenkaichi title. Although the game’s Episode Battle mode retreaded a lot of previously explored waters with the arcs of Dragon Ball Z, the Dragon Ball Super and What If scenarios, and the game’s Player Level system, gave players a lot to strive for. With the Switch and Switch 2 versions out, now is a great time to re-explore these games in a portable form factor, just like I did 15 years ago in Tenkaichi Tag Team.
Dragon Ball Sparking! ZERO Makes a Solid Landing on Switch 2
As of the November 14th launch, the Switch and Switch 2 versions of Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZEROinclude the updates released up to January 2025, along with the content of the base game and the pre-order bonuses, including Goku from Dragon Ball Daima and the complimentary Shenron wishes. You still get access to all the Episode Battle content, Custom Battle, the 182 character roster, and online and offline modes, including split-screen local multiplayer on the Hyperbolic Time Chamber stage.
In fact, the Switch and Switch 2 versions can support up to 6 players in local co-op on just one system. Unfortunately, I couldn’t test this out for myself yet, but with the holidays coming up soon, I can definitely see the appeal of this for hosting some short and friendly tournaments. Single Joy-Con play is also supported on both systems, but I wouldn’t recommend it unless you’re using a Joy-Con 2 controller. The Joy-Con 2 controller is at least big enough in my hands to pull off basic combos and motions when playing in tabletop mode.
What’s more, Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZEROsupports motion controls on both consoles with a dedicated control scheme, which is in addition to the existing Standard and Classic control schemes. I thought motion controls would be a simple gimmick, but it’s much more technical in nature than I expected. There are individual motions tied to specific maneuvers, including Rush Attacks, Dragon Dash Attacks, and Burst attacks. You’ll have to go through Training again and sit down for a while to study each motion and move again to get a full grasp of the motion controls. I appreciate the effort that was put into motion controls to make it just as fleshed out as the other control schemes, though.
Performance Breakdown
In terms of specifications, the Nintendo Switch 2 version is the clear winner. On Switch 2, Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO runs at 30 FPS in 1080p in docked mode and 810p in handheld with dynamic resolution. This is the version I played for review, and I thoroughly enjoyed the game’s presentation in both handheld and docked. Although the game is capped at 30 FPS, the action didn’t feel bogged down, and there were virtually no frame rate drops in my playthrough. However, I think there’s still some room for improvements when it comes to the overall presentation. Occasionally, visuals in Episode Battle look muddy or jagged when transitioning from still images to actual gameplay, and it can be quite distracting.
In comparison, Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO runs at 720p 30 FPS in docked and 480p 30 FPS in handheld on the original Switch. It’s clear that this game is really pushing the limits of Switch 1 hardware, with some menus dropping down to 24 FPS, according to the game’s official specifications. Fortunately, players can apply a free update to their Switch 1 copies on Switch 2, essentially upgrading it to the Switch 2 version. After installing the update, players will match with Switch 2 players and other users who upgraded their copy in online matches. It’s worth noting that save data is carried over, but battle replay data, custom battle data, and online battle records won’t be brought over.
On another note, I’m impressed by how small the file sizes for Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO are. The Nintendo Switch version sits at 6.7 GB, while the Switch 2 version takes up 11.2 GB. Having a massive Dragon Ball experience take up so little space on the console’s internal storage is a big plus, especially when new content arrives.
In Need of Some Senzu Beans, or More Updates
As I mentioned earlier in this review, Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO on Switch and Switch 2 only has updates released up to January 2025, so there’s quite a number of post-launch updates that are missing here. Updates that were released after that point will be coming to the Switch and Switch 2 versions gradually over time, and this also applies to the game’s Season Pass content, which seems to have staggered release schedule throughout the first half of 2026. For example, the Hero of Justice DLC pack has a placeholder release date set for May 31, 2026, but this is obviously subject to change.
The lack of parity with the other versions of Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZEROis arguably one of the biggest drawbacks of the Nintendo Switch 2 version, besides not being able to reach 60 FPS or aim higher than the 1080p resolution. I wanted to try out the Demon World stage and the Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero and Daima DLC characters immediately since I didn’t buy into the DLC originally in the PC version, but that will have to wait for a later date on Switch and Switch 2. I hope these updates and DLC packs are released rather timely to get Nintendo fans caught up to speed, since there’s more Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZEROcontent planned for 2026 in what could be the Dragon Ball franchise’s biggest year yet.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO Shines with Portable Play
Although I wish the developers pushed Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO even further on the hardware, I’m really happy with the overall experience with the Switch 2 version. Being able to play Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO in portable mode is really fun, and I’m pleased with how the game’s visuals look on a large display as well. It shouldn’t be understated that the Switch 2 is capable of running most games, ranging from indie to AAA, and Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO being one of those titles is a real delight when I can sit back and enjoy it in a cozy setup.
I encourage Bandai Namco and the development team to make even more optimizations over time. The Switch 2 version can be even better, even if that 60 FPS target doesn’t get hit in the future. The rollout of Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO DLC is also vital, and I hope Switch and Switch 2 users won’t be far behind the other consoles in terms of content. Everyone benefits from the hype of new DLC releasing at the same time on all platforms, after all.
Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO is available now for Nintendo Switch, Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Disclaimer: Bandai Namco provided a Nintendo Switch 2 copy of Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO for review purposes.

Hoopa’s powers are awakened when it receives one of Ansha’s donuts, transforming the distortions into portals to Hyperspace Lumiose. Ansha uses Berries to create these kinds of donuts and grant different effects in hyperspace. She can also use Hyperspace Berries, which are useful for taking on high-level Pokémon.
Trainers will also be joined by new allies like Korrina, the successor to a line of Mega Evolution gurus who want to encounter every Mega-Evolved Pokémon, including the new Mega Chimecho and Mega Baxcalibur. Players can obtain the Mega Stone needed to evolve Baxcalibur from the Z-A Battle Club as a reward for advancing in online Ranked Battles.

Spawning from an April Fools’ Joke, Goat Simulator 3 was the long-awaited sequel so bold it even skipped over a number. Coffee Stain North expanded the sandbox to new heights by allowing four-player co-op and further expanding with the release of the first expansion, Multiverse of Nonsense. It parodied the growing popularity of multiversal storylines from the Marvel Cinematic Universe and The Flash.
On April 1st, 2025, the second expansion was teased and then announced as Goat Simulator 3: Baadlands Fury Road on October 22nd, 2025. This DLC Expansion parodies popular post-apocalyptic franchises, as well as other unexpected games and brands. Releasing today, I got the chance to play Goat Simulator 3: Baadlands Fury Road for Final Weapon, and it provides an entertaining playground, either solo or with friends.
There’s a Big Goat on his Hip
Pligor is back to wreak more havoc, as San Angora is reduced to a shambling wasteland. Set thousands of years after Goat Simulator 3, the DLC allows players to cause chaos throughout a barren desert filled with dangerous bandits. Upon synchronizing with the first Radio Tower, replacing the Goat Towers opens each area, as it’s swarmed by various post-apocalyptic-themed vehicles and tiny minigames such as destroying cactuses, radroaches, or even moles. Additionally, NPCs can either pose as obstacles or quest givers while traversing the vast desert as bandits ride across the wasteland with various vehicles such as an Immortan-style car, a giant bus, or even a buggy.
Wandering an area so large requires a means of transportation, and none is so trusty as a motorcycle. With a simple yell, the metal steed appears wherever it’s needed; even when destroyed, it comes back good as new. It can even transport items in the trunk, and there is no limit to how many it can carry. There is even customizability with redeemable items that can change the feel, as the motorcycle is crucial for clearing most objectives. It’s nice to have a readily available vehicle that can also do impressive jumps, as there are ramps all around with fireworks and slow-motion at the ready.
Trinkets are tools obtained through either the completion of an event or by rewarding curiosity, providing both passive and reactive effects through the press of the right bumper. These can deal insane amounts of carnage, such as carrying a mini compactor that can compact anything, including NPCs. Boots with drills that create sinkholes anywhere, which grab anything nearby and spew debris everywhere. These trinkets can help get out of a pinch, but they aren’t designed to skip one too many mechanics; yet, their use is still vital in the outdoors.
Aside from exploring, the main objective of the DLC is to expand the functions of Pligor Town to welcome the vault dwellers of Vault 55. Once a portion of the town is unlocked, the locks are released from the vault door, marking a step closer to civilization. Each provides a different function to better present itself as a functioning society, such as a town hall, a farm, and even a store that provides custom bike parts. To unlock these functions requires Scrap, the main currency that powers the wasteland’s economy. Scrap is obtained through playing through the game, finding each event or minigame, boxes, and even by headbutting any nearby NPC.
There are collectables scattered throughout the wasteland, which also include free costumes. At the start of the DLC, Pilgor dons a wasteland warrior costume that’s legally distinct from The Ghoul from Fallout, and more skins are unlocked through various events or within the towns. Additionally, some totems can be easily obtained, and stunt-based totems require the use of the motorcycle. There’s endless stuff to do at the wasteland, and finding a different trinket has been fun; however, having two at the same time leads to funny outcomes.
The Worm has Come to Town
Booting up the game begins with an opening narration and quote that parodies the popular opening of Death Stranding. From the outset, Coffee Stain North opted to incorporate extensive post-apocalyptic pop culture references. Primarily, the expansion is visually parodying both Mad Max and Fallout through its setting, costumes, and even bandit designs. In addition to references scattered throughout the wasteland, not a single event or location holds restraint. A standout is what I dubbed the Alaskan Dune Worm, a legally distinct portrayal of the Dune Worm from Dune—and yes, it can be ridden.
Stumbling through every location in the wasteland has something to find, an event to be seen. When discovering an event, an objective is displayed on screen, ranging from simple instructions to obtuse puzzles that require persistence. Completing an event can reward more scrap, trinkets, or a permanent change to the wasteland that can easily solve another event. There is always something new to discover during an event, and most of the time, it’s a fun side activity to enjoy.
Each town is unique, bringing its own personality to life through engaging with the various activities, whether it’s Newtown’s pizzeria, where anything can be turned into a pizza, or the Hooferdome with its obstacle course. There is even an entire resort town that’s full of ghouls, living the unlife of retirement, sitting poolside, taking the sun, and shuffleboarding. It’s even filled with pools of radioactive waste that grow limbs and even rewards a hat that resembles the opening scene of The Simpsons. The towns bring a level of charm that’s very endearing, as there is something different to find through each event or reference.
The Baadlands is a Fun Time
Stepping into Goat Simulator 3: Baadland Fury Road, I was reminded of the first time playing the original Goat Simulator when it was released on consoles. It was significant during a period when independent development was reaching new heights through viral marketing campaigns, alongside popular YouTubers covering the game. This playbook is still used today, with games like PEAK and R.E.P.O. becoming overnight successes through physics-based virality.
Amongst other franchises that have fallen by the wayside, Goat Simulator 3 is still holding firm even after its Steam release last year. Goat Simulator 3: Baadland Fury Road expands on the core gameplay in various ways; however, some events feel perplexing due to their execution. That said, it’s still a fun time roaming around either alone or with friends in this post-apocalyptic mashup.
