Sparking! ZERO, the sequel to Budokai Tenkaichi 3, is finally available on all platforms. Fans quickly turned to online mode to face other players and test their skills. However, one of the game’s biggest problems emerged almost immediately: rage quitting.

While fans are rightfully celebrating Budokai Tenkaichi's revival through Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero, their developer’s recovery also deserves praise.

After 17 years there’s finally a Budokai Tenkaichi sequel, and while it suffers from some technical issues, it's still the best entry yet.

It looks like Dragon Ball fans really have been eagerly awaiting a new entry in the Budokai Tenkaichi franchise, as its latest entry, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero, has already managed to sell three million units in its first 24 hours of availability.

As pointed out by analyst MauroNL on X (formerly Twitter), the game has already surpassed Dragon Ball FighterZ, which took around a week to ship two million units. It's also beaten the likes of Street Fighter 6 (a million in five days) and Mortal Kombat 1 (three million in three months).

Sparking! Zero Review - It's been awhile since the last Budokai Tenkaichi game for the DBZ series and now it has returned.

Sparking! Zero is divided into several modes, with “Episode Battle” allowing you to take control of one of Dragon Ball’s principal characters, and run through their stories, with non-canon branching paths if you can withstand their unlock conditions. These are presented with a simple overworld format, and cutscenes that pepper the plot in between.

Bandai Namco's latest Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi game is a certified mega-hit with 3 million copies sold in the first 24 hours on all platforms.

Sparking Zero fans are voicing their complaints about various issues they frequently encounter in ranked matches.
