Bandai Namco has provided a sales update on its Dragon Ball title Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot since its initial release in 2020. It's now shifted more than eight million copies worldwide. This includes the sales across multiple platforms including the Switch.
As part of the celebrations, the developer has shared some special artwork on social media featuring the Dragon Ball cast:
Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot + A New Power Awakens Set made its debut on the Switch in September 2021. It's been followed by many expansions including the release of 'Goku's Next Journey' in February of this year. If you haven't tried this game out, there's also a demo you can download from the eShop.
Be sure to also check out our review here on Nintendo Life as well. Here's a sample of what we had to say about it:
"Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot is mainly a love-letter to fans of the series. From the first moment that the iconic Japanese theme song starts through to some of the obscure characters who show up as you explore the world, this game is a nostalgia-fest for anime fans. Considering the long-standing voice actors for both the Japanese and English dubs reprise their roles here, it all feels familiar and comforting from the very beginning."

If they want this same success with Dragon Ball: Sparking! Zero they better make haste and port it to Switch as well.
Absolutely deserved, loved this game a lot, it was so fun going through the DBZ universe in this game. I still need to finish all the DLC. The Future Trunks DLC in particular was amazing.
Too bad the game now runs like doodoo since February.
I enjoyed my time with it.
@Serpenterror maybe they work for switch succesor ?
@Yosher The Bardock DLC is really short but sweet. Playing through the World Tournament saga now.
This is easily the best DBZ game when it comes to putting you into the World of Dragon Ball. Glad to know it sold so well
Well deserved. I hope Sparking Zero will be a launch title for Super Switch
This is one I really need to play. I do love me some Dragon Ball but I've always held off just due to backlog and consistent releases occupying my time.
I just don't have the energy to relive Goku's tale for the 50th time. Even if Kakarot is the definitive way to experience it. Especially with the upcoming Sparking Zero.
@Bizzyb Agreed on the Bardock DLC. It was really good but felt just a bit too short. Currently on the World Tournament one as well but it's been a bit, so I may start that one over.
It really is a great game to put you into this world yeah. Can only imagine what the next entry of this kind will be like.
I enjoyed the game quite a lot. Could have had more fun if they hadn't forcibly shoehorned me into playing as Goku/Gohan 90% of the time though.

Erm, technically Goku's tale takes place in the original Dragon Ball, whereas Z has large parts and major sections of the story where it's not about him. It's possible to even argue that it is more Gohan or Vegeta's story.
Explore the world?
This isn't a fighting game like Mortal Kombat?
Love to see it and a good reminder to eventually play it myself, especially since it seems like one of the best latest Dragon Ball games!
And yes, fingers crossed Sparking Zero eventually comes also to a Nintendo system, most likely Switch 2 at this point!
