Sparking-Zero-Trademark_10-06-23-1280x720.jpg

Bandai Namco Entertainment filed a trademark for "Sparking! Zero" on September 26 in the United States.

The Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi series is known as the Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! series in Japan.

The trademark could suggest the game's title will be Dragon Ball Z: Sparking! Zero, at least in Japan, as well as that a follow-up announcement is coming soon.

If "NARUTO X BORUTO Ultimate Ninja STORM CONNECTIONS" is happening, you can bet they'll use the Budokai Tenkaichi brand lmao. Besides, they REALLY want to know that this is a new BT and cash in on the nostalgia.

Namek is so ugly in that screenshot. They need to stop with the realistic look for worlds.

You don't want another OP game from Spike Chunsoft.

Honestly, no one should want this in general. BT1-3 were decent on PS2/Wii but all Spike's Bamco fighters since (DB Raging Blast 1-2, OP Burning Blood, J-Stars Victory VS, Jump Force, etc) have been awful.

I don't like super saiyan blue has become the new face of Goku. Super Saiyan god is so much more visually striking and interesting.

Either a new Dragon Ball game is coming to the West, or Bandai Namco is getting into the sparkling water market.

BT1 = Sparking!
BT2 = Sparking! Neo
BT3= Sparking! Meteor
BT4= Sparking! Zero

The real question is if it's gonna be called Budokai Tenkaichi 4 or drop the number and just be Budokai Tenkaichi.

Sparking! Zero is an odd name, considering this is a revival of a DB fighting game series that would push further into the franchise's history than previously possible.

What is "Zero" about this. (Please please info soon though)

I have very little faith they'll top Budokai Tenkaichi 3 with this new one...

I dread a very small roster at launch, not covering every possible corner of Dragon Ball brand (+ What Ifs) and possible a couple of characters via DLC :<

I want this to be a complete package at launch and not be made something "competitive", just shallow and mindless fun.

I don't think they'll make this a balanced, competitive fighter, a new FighterZ game would be a better fit for that. The roster definitely won't be as big as Tenkaichi 3, but hopefully it'll at least be close to the size of the first one.

Bamco is going deeeeep cut to the Harmony Gold dub where Goku was called Zero.

I'm guessing they're just doing this for logistic reasons. It will still be Budokai Tenkaichi in the West. Whether it's BT4 or something else, we will see

This won't be a competitive game, it isn't really a proper fighting game like FighterZ, so I wouldn't worry about balance.
As for DLC, that's gonna be there for sure, Xenoverse 2 is still getting DLC like 7 years after launch.

You know what if they actually call it tenkaichi zero that would honestly be a pretty good name for it.
