In conjunction with this weekend’s “DRAGON BALL Games Battle Hour 2024” event, Bandai Namco has released a new “Goku VS Vegeta – Rivals” trailer for the forthcoming DRAGON BALL: Sparking! ZERO video game:

The trailer appears to use recycled audio in at least certain portions for its dialog — in both English and Japanese — including that of the long-since-corrected English “Kayo Ken” pronunciation for Kaiō-Ken (which originated in FUNimation’s original 1996 syndication broadcast of Dragon Ball Z, and lingered with the in-house Texas voice cast for a period of time beginning in 1999).

Bandai Namco announced 24 characters alongside the trailer’s release, though the roster at the end of the video showcases 40 characters within 164 total blocks (several of which were showcased both earlier within the same trailer, as well as during the game’s previous trailer last December).

As opposed to the completely separate Dragon Ball Z (“Budokai”) series developed by Dimps which came before it, the Sparking! series — developed instead by Spike — featured 3D arenas with an over-the-shoulder camera angle. The new game’s title of Dragon Ball: Sparking! ZERO falls more in line with the original trilogy’s naming scheme in Japanese. The three Sparking! games — the original, NEO!, and METEOR — hit the PlayStation 2 over the course of 2005 to 2007, with the Nintendo Wii also receiving ports of the second and third games. The game series was released numerically under the “Budokai Tenkaichi” moniker internationally. A fourth games — Tag Vs. in Japan / Tenkaichi Tag Team internationally — was released on the PlayStation Portable in 2010. Spike (as Spike Chunsoft) later went on to also develop the crossover fighting games J-Stars Victory VS in 2014 and Jump Force in 2019.
