With the Dragon Ball Sparking Zero release time for early access buyers under 24 hours away, the countdown to the new beat 'em up is well and truly on.
The new fighting game will be released on October 11, but the good news is that you can play it three days earlier. Getting a hold of that isn't too difficult, either, as all you have to do is pre-order the game's standard, deluxe, or ultimate editions to get early access.
And if our Dragon Ball: Sparking Zero review is anything to go, many will be lining up to jump in at launch to do just that, as it has what it takes to reinvigorate anime arena fighters (even if it does lack the depth of some of its contemporaries).
"Camera gripes notwithstanding, Sparking Zero is poised to not only be a Dragon Ball game for the ages, but a paradigm shift in how far the subgenre of games can go beyond run-of-the-mill arena fighters that lose steam in a single session," we said.
