The first Anniversary Collection, titled ‘Arcade Classics’ will bundle eight of the company’s arcade games from the 1980’s. This compilation will be released digitally on 18th April and will include:

  • Haunted Castle
  • A-Jax (aka Typhoon)

Following the release of the Arcade Classics, Konami will be launching the Castlevania: Anniversary Collection in Summer 2019. The collection will also feature eight games but only four have been announced so far – Castlevania (NES), Castlevania II: Belmont’s Revenge (GB), Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse (NES), and Super Castlevania IV (SNES).

Lastly, Konami is also releasing Contra: Anniversary Collection in early Summer 2019. Again, featuring eight games with only four announced – Contra (arcade), Super Contra (arcade), Super C (NES), and Contra 3: The Alien Wars (Super NES).
