Konami classics coming PC, PS4, Xbox One and Switch Castlevania! Gradius! Contra! More! News by Tom Phillips Deputy Editor Updated on 20 Mar 2019 64 comments Fancy playing Contra on your Switch? I know Martin does, as I woke up to a message from him this morning saying it had been announced. Konami is rounding up some of its best-known classics into a set of downloadable collections due to launch on PC and consoles over the next few months. Each collection will contain eight games, and launch digitally for Nintendo Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The sets are coming now to celebrate Konami's 50th birthday - the company previously having been a jukebox business before the late '70s, when it moved into arcade games. Konami's Arcade Classics collection is up first, on 18th April, priced $20 (UK price TBA). It will contain Haunted Castle, A-Jax, Gradius, Gradius 2, Salamander, Thunder Cross, Scramble and TwinBee. Following that, sometime "early summer" but without a firm release date, will be the Castlevania Anniversary Collection and Contra Anniversary Collection. Castlevania's collection will contain Castlevania 1, 2, 3 and Super Castlevania, along with four more to-be-announced titles. Contra's collection will include Contra, Super Contra, Super C, Contra 3: The Alien Wars and another four more games in the series. Thanks Martin, you can go back to sleep now.
