About the Castlevania 35Anniversary NFT

To celebrate the 35th anniversary of Castlevania, we have turned the most memorable game scenes, background music, and newly designed art into NFTs.  

The art was created by a KONAMI staff member who played the original Castlevania as a child 35 years ago and is a massive fan of the series. We have picked up the cuts and art our fans remember the most and immortalized them on the blockchain.  

NFT #1: Castlevania – Dracula’s Castle Pixel Art

Shown above is the newly designed pixel art for the ‘KONAMI MEMORIAL NFT’. Based on the map of the Castle that appears in-game, corresponding stages and enemies have been placed to recreate the challenging journey in Castlevania.

NFT #2: Castlevania – Highlights

For the production of this NFT, we gathered several KONAMI employees who played Castlevania in their childhood and recorded their gameplay.  

The filming took longer than expected, but we obtained a large amount of video material. And as we played, memories of challenging enemies and stages came back to life…  

This is a highlights movie focusing on the most impressive Castlevania scenes, with the great vampire hunter Simon Belmont’s adventure of conquering the Castle condensed into 3m 34sec.  

NFT #3: Castlevania – Vampire Killer

The song ‘Vampire Killer’ is still remembered as a classic by fans of Castlevania. This NFT utilizes the background music and gameplay from Block 1 of Castlevania.
