Konami has delivered a major announcement for fans of classic gaming during the latest Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase.
The celebrated developer unveiled the 'Castlevania Dominus Collection,' a comprehensive collection that brings together three of the most beloved Nintendo DS-era Castlevania titles—Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia—on the Nintendo Switch.
Available now on the Nintendo Switch eShop for $24.99, this release marks the first time these acclaimed portable entries can be experienced together on a modern platform. The Castlevania Dominus Collection is a compelling milestone for the franchise and for Konami, who also announced a forthcoming Suikoden collection during the same Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase.
This compilation distinguishes itself by focusing specifically on the three Castlevania adventures that originally graced Nintendo’s dual-screen handheld system—a period often remembered as a golden era for the series. The collection includes: - Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow - Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin - Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia Each of these titles offers a unique narrative, tone, and character roster, ensuring diverse gameplay experiences while remaining faithful to the series’ gothic roots and fast-paced action.
Despite mostly separate storylines, these games are united by their shared platform heritage and have become fan favorites thanks to their innovation and polished design. The Nintendo DS era was notable for its clever use of dual screens, touch controls, and its ability to deliver console-quality adventures on the go.
Adapting these games for the Nintendo Switch, Konami preserves the heart of the originals while making them accessible to a new generation of players.
This re-release not only allows longtime fans to revisit their favorites but also brings foundational installments to a broader audience on the hybrid console. In an official statement, Konami representatives expressed their excitement about bringing these critically acclaimed titles to modern hardware, highlighting the enduring legacy and appeal of Castlevania’s DS trilogy.
They described the Castlevania Dominus Collection as an essential experience for series veterans and newcomers alike. The Castlevania Dominus Collection is now available for download exclusively via the Nintendo Switch eShop at a retail price of $24.99.
For legacy Castlevania fans and those curious about some of the franchise’s finest entries, this collection is an opportunity to experience iconic action-platforming from a pivotal era of the series’ history.
