Lots of great games are discounted for Black Friday, but Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero might be this year's can't-miss deal.

Even though Bandai Namco actively discouraged playing Sparking! Zero like an esports title, tournaments are still being held. That said, two players were recently disqualified for "flying spam" days after the qualifier was held.

As mentioned before, Dragon Ball Sparking! Zero is on sale at Walmart, Amazon, GameStop, and Best Buy for around $49.99. If explosive fighting sequences and Akira Toriyama’s iconic designs are up your alley, you may want to get on those deals before they go away.

Sparking Zero delivers a ton of what fans have wanted from a DBZ fighting game, including a humongous cast of characters. There are 180-plus fighters to choose from and nearly half need to be unlocked.

Sparking Zero may be a hit, but its recent eSports tournament is drawing a tidal wave of negative publicity from players and spectators.

Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero is not a competitive fighting game by design. Its colossal character roster is purposefully unbalanced, its mechanics are abusable at almost any level, and many of its underlying systems are built for spectacle instead of technical depth.

Sparking Zero sets an impressive new milestone a little over a month after its release, making history for the long-running franchise.

"After just one month in market, Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero became the best-selling Dragon Ball game in U.S. lifetime dollar sales," Piscatella writes. Even more insane, Sparking! Zero is now third in Bandai Namco's all-time US dollar sales rankings, trailing only Elden Ring and Dark Souls 3. That's a flabbergasting result for the publisher.
