Castlevania Anniversary, Advance, and Dominus Collections Receive New Physical Releases on Nintendo Switch via Play-Asia

Konami's legendary Castlevania series continues to thrive with a fresh wave of physical releases for Nintendo Switch fans.

Play-Asia has officially opened pre-orders for new multi-language editions of the Castlevania Anniversary Collection, Castlevania Advance Collection, and the recently released Castlevania Dominus Collection.

This marks a significant opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts who missed out on earlier limited runs, such as those by Limited Run Games, whose editions quickly sold out from the eShop. The Castlevania Anniversary Collection, celebrated for bringing together some of the franchise's earliest and most influential titles, will be available in both standard and deluxe collector's editions.

Both versions are scheduled for release on June 26.

The deluxe edition offers an expansive lineup, including: Castlevania, Castlevania II Simon's Quest, Castlevania III Dracula's Curse, Super Castlevania IV, Castlevania The Adventure, Castlevania II Belmont's Revenge, Castlevania Bloodlines, and Kid Dracula—making its English debut.

Fans will also receive the 'History of Castlevania - Book of the Crescent Moon,' enriching the experience with deep franchise lore and behind-the-scenes details. For those eager for portable-era Castlevania adventures, the Castlevania Advance Collection is set to launch on July 31 for Nintendo Switch.

This edition goes beyond basic re-releases by incorporating quality-of-life enhancements such as rewind and quick-save features, allowing both new and returning players to enjoy a modernized gameplay experience.

Players can browse through scans of the original packaging, access exclusive artwork, and even create custom playlists from four comprehensive soundtracks.

Additionally, the region selection option enables gamers to play Japanese, American, or European versions of each title for the first time.

The built-in encyclopedia feature provides valuable information on enemy types and unique game systems, such as the 'DSS', 'Tactical Soul', and 'Spell Fusion' mechanics. The final release in this wave, the Castlevania Dominus Collection, will follow on September 18.

This compilation reunites three iconic action-adventure games from the Castlevania catalog and introduces Haunted Castle Revisited—a reimagining of the classic arcade game, also playable in its original format.

The Dominus Collection enhances the nostalgic journey with all-new artwork and convenience features like rewind and quick saves, making it a robust addition for both franchise veterans and newcomers. All three Castlevania collections are presented in multiple languages, making them accessible to a broad international audience.

Konami's ongoing support for the Castlevania legacy on Nintendo Switch underscores the enduring appeal of the series and its continued relevance in today's gaming landscape.

Pre-orders for these highly-anticipated physical editions are now live on Play-Asia, giving dedicated fans the perfect opportunity to add these collector’s items to their Nintendo Switch libraries.
