Castlevania Dominus Collection Now Available on Switch

Konami has recently released the Castlevania Dominus Collection for the Nintendo Switch, bringing back some classic titles. The collection features three beloved games originally released on the Nintendo DS: Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, Portrait of Ruin, and Order of Ecclesia. Additionally, it includes Castlevania: Haunted Castle, the franchise's first arcade game.

This bundle is now accessible via the eShop.

What do you think about having this collection on the Switch? Are you considering picking up a copy?

Excellent games that really needed to ditch the touch screen gimmicks.

These games defined my time with the DS. Glad they're back!

WAIT IS THAT ORDER OF ECCLESIA BEING OFFICIALLY RESPECTED AND ACKNOWLEDGED?!?

This is awesome!

I loved that game so much. Shanoa is so cool, and that "plot twist boss fight" will always stand out as being so ridiculously cinematic for a sidescrolling DS game.

Spoiler"I trained you! I raised you! You stupid disciple!!"

I should play the other one too. I bet it's great. :D

Holy-fucking-Jesus. I never thought they would. I’m a little bit blown away and that’s totally cool in this case.

I can speak for the Nintendo Switch port, was 24.99$ at full price. I’ve played DoS, so far. That was always my go to. I always wanted a stable, well performing, handheld version of OoE , and DoS.

I know, I know. I forgot Jonathan, Charlotte, Jonathan, Charlotte, Jonathan, Charlotte, Jonathan, Charlotte, Jonathan, Charlotte, Jonathan, Charlotte, Jonathan, Charlotte, Jonathan, Charlotte, Jonathan, Charlotte, Jonathan, Charlotte, Jonathan, Charlotte.

You can hear that now, right?

The Haunted Castle port is good too. I’d say they brought it to par with C:TAR from the Wii virtual shop. The whip really reminds me of the whip animation from Christopher Belmont in TAR.

Now, hey guys— slap SotN, RoB, the updated PSP RoB, and TAR on a collection next. I’d buy that shit for double. Not kidding.

It’s really really hard to pick a favorite, if I’m being honest.
