Summary

Dragon Ball: Sparking Zeroplayers have taken to blaming the recently revealedSwitchandSwitch 2port for what is unarguably the game’s biggest problem.

This week’s Nintendo Partner Showcase was a bit of an underwhelming one overall, but there were at least some exciting announcements made. One of the highlights for me was the confirmation thatDragon Ball: Sparking Zero is getting ported to both the Nintendo Switch 2and, shockingly, the original Switch.

Sparking Zero’s ports have been rumoured for so long nowthat I figured that their long-awaited reveals would be taken as nothing but good news. That hasn’t really been the case, though, as fans arenot only worried about how well the game is going to run on weaker hardware, they’re now taking to blaming it for Sparking Zero’s lack of post-launch content.

Following the reveal of Sparking Zero’s Switch ports,fans were quick to point out just how different the versions look. Although there are obvious examples like the character models being less detailed, some background elements, like buildings, have been completely changed for the weaker ports.

These obvious differences have led some Sparking Zero players to outright blame the work that’s gone into the Nintendo Switch ports as the reason why we’ve not had much post-launch content.Over on the Sparking Zero subreddit, Beastyourmom123 shared a post saying that this “explains” why we’ve not seen many updates, as the whole game likely had to be “restructured”.

This post isn’t the only one to point out the work that must have been needed,as the Reddit thread sharing worries about the game’s performancehas similar observations.

The post is one of the most upvoted on the Sparking Zero subreddit recently, which suggests that a lot of players think the same thing. While it’s not clear if that’s really the case, it would explainwhy things like stages, outfits, and accessories have been put on the backburnerdespite how requested they’ve been by fans.
