Bandai Namco shares frame rate and resolution details for Dragon Ball Sparking Zero on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, plus official comparison images.

Dragon Ball Sparking Zero lands on Switch 2 and Switch with improved frame rate

Bandai Namco has released official specifications for Dragon Ball Sparking Zero on Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Switch. On Switch 2 the game targets up to 810p when docked or in portable mode, with dynamic resolution and a steady 30 frames per second. HDR is supported on this version. The older Switch edition remains at fixed 720p when docked and 480p in handheld, with a constant 30 FPS though some menus can drop to 24 FPS. HDR is not available on this model.

In addition to the specs, a set of comparison screenshots accompanies the release. Each row places the Switch 2 version first, followed by the standard Switch version, allowing players to judge the differences in clarity and color. The game is scheduled to arrive on both Switch platforms on November 14, 2025, and the full image set is linked in the article for closer inspection.

The split between Switch 2 and Switch highlights a growing pattern in late generation hardware where publishers manage parity across devices while signaling clear quality gaps. For players with Switch 2, the HDR support and dynamic resolution could translate to a noticeably smoother and richer visual experience, especially in fast action moments. For owners of the original Switch, the fixed 720p/480p rendering with menus dipping to 24 FPS may translate to a noticeably plainer look and smoother edges being sacrificed for compatibility.

Official comparisons matter here because they frame expectations and shopping choices. The two versions may push some buyers to upgrade, while others will reassess whether the visual gains justify the cost. Developers in similar ecosystems will watch this closely to see how hardware tiering affects game reception and post-launch updates.

Highlights

The industry will watch how players respond to the two versions and what it means for future crossHardware releases.
