Castlevania: Dominus Collection Revealed With Immediate Release
The DS era Castlevania games are finally on modern platforms.
Konami has revealed Castlevania: Dominus Collection, which is a new bundle that contains Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow, and Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. In recent years, Konami has been bringing back its older Castlevania titles in collections that have included Castlevania: Anniversary Collection, Castlevania: Advance Collection, and Castlevania Requiem. Now, this same treatment has finally been given to the trio of entries that previously were exclusive to the Nintendo DS.
Revealed as part of Nintendo's new Partner Direct, Konami announced Castlevania: Dominus Collection with an initial gameplay trailer. Outside of including Order of Ecclesia, Dawn of Sorrow, and Portrait of Ruin, Dominus Collection also contains a "reimagined version" of Haunted Castle, which is an old school arcade entry in the Castlevania franchise. Best of all, there is no wait whatsoever for Castlevania: Dominus Collection as Konami has opted to stealth drop the bundle today at a price of $24.99.
