Game Description
The gates creak open and the candles flare in Castlevania Anniversary Collection [Limited Run #106], a gothic showcase of monster-slaying classics that helped define the series’ whip-cracking rhythm. Built for the Nintendo Switch system, it drops you into cursed castles, moonlit graveyards, and trap-filled towers where every leap, stair-climb, and perfectly timed strike feels like a duel with the night itself. From Simon Belmont to Trevor Belmont, the action hits with that unmistakable Castlevania pulse: tense platforming, brutal enemy patterns, and eerie atmosphere that never lets up.
Released in 2021 and developed by Konami, this collection brings together multiple eras of the franchise in one streamlined package, complete with quality-of-life options that make tough stages easier to revisit and master. For collectors, the limited physical release from Limited Run Games adds extra shelf appeal to a lineup packed with iconic moments, infamous difficulty spikes, and legendary tunes. If you are hunting for a Castlevania Nintendo Switch game that captures the series at full 8-bit and 16-bit intensity, this is a haunted highlight reel of the classics.
This collection includes:
- Castlevania (NES, 1987)
- Castlevania II: Simon's Quest (NES, 1988)
- Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse (NES, 1990)
- Super Castlevania IV (Super Nintendo, 1991)
- Castlevania: Bloodlines (Sega Genesis, 1994)
- Castlevania: The Adventure (Game Boy, 1989)
- Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge (Game Boy, 1991)
- Kid Dracula (Game Boy, 1990)
What makes this set a cornerstone release is the way it puts Castlevania’s DNA on full display: the snap of the whip, the panic of a missed jump, and the rush when a boss pattern finally clicks. Classic tools like the Vampire Killer, Holy Water, and the Cross are not just weapons, they are survival language, and the best runs come from learning when to commit and when to retreat. Add in the unforgettable soundtrack energy and the series’ most famous heroes and monsters, and you have a must-own lineup that still feels like the blueprint for gothic action platformers.

Historical Trivia or Fun Fact
Castlevania Anniversary Collection [Limited Run #106] spotlights the franchise’s formative arcade-to-16-bit era, spanning the late 1980s into the mid-1990s when Castlevania’s gothic action template became instantly recognizable. The music legacy is a huge part of that identity, with composers credited on included entries such as Kenichi Matsubara and Satoe Terashima (Simon’s Quest), Masanori Adachi and Tarō Kudō (Super Castlevania IV), and Michiru Yamane (Bloodlines) helping define the series’ “haunted cathedral” sound. Put together, it is a single collection that shows how the Belmont battles evolved across hardware generations while keeping that signature mix of precision platforming, boss tension, and unforgettable melodies.
