Bandai Namco has dropped a new trailer for Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. We’re then treated to gameplay footage and story details surrounding the Saiyans Saga and Namek Saga of the Dragon Ball Z series.
Needless to say, a ton of characters get announced throughout this gameplay video. It turns out that even some of the more obscure and less important characters are becoming playable in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero.
From the Saiyans Saga, we get glimpses of gameplay from Raditz, Saibaman, Nappa, and Chiaotzu. Just like in the source material, poor Yamcha ends up getting blown up by a Saibaman.
Following this, we then get a look at some of the characters from the Namek Saga that will be playable in Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero. This gives us a quick look at Cui, Dodoria, Zarbon, Super Zarbon, Nail, Guldo, Recoome, Captain Ginyu, Frieza (First Form), Frieza (Second Form), Frieza (Third Form), Frieza (Fourth Form), and Frieza (Full Power).
As things stand, there are now 115 characters revealed for the game. However, there are still 49 slots that have yet to be filled in the final image, suggesting that there will be about 164 characters at launch.
It’s certainly interesting to see characters like Raditz, Saibaman, Cui, Dodria, and Nail be playable since they effectively lasted for a single fight each during the Dragon Ball Z series. Regardless, this gives the players a lot of freedom in terms of which scenarios they wish to replay.
