Switch Limited Run #98: Bloodstained: Curse Of The Moon 2 Classic Edition

Inti Creates built Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 as a love letter to 8-bit Castlevania, so it only makes sense that the packaging follows suit. Switch Limited Run #98: Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 Classic Edition for Nintendo Switch arrives in an NES-style box with all-new art from Tom duBois, the legendary artist behind those iconic Konami covers you grew up staring at.

The box is printed with accurate metallic silver ink to match classic Konami packaging, and it's sized to NES dimensions so it sits flush with your retro collection. A removable slipcover carries the Switch branding, keeping the underlying box free from modern logos. Inside, you'll find the game with a retro-style dust sleeve, an original soundtrack on physical CD, and a reversible 18" x 24" poster.

Curse of the Moon 2 expanded on its predecessor with multi-character gameplay and branching episodes, all rendered in a meticulous NES aesthetic that never feels like parody. It's the rare retro throwback that earns its references through genuinely sharp level design rather than simple nostalgia bait.

The duBois artwork is the piece that ties it all together. Having the same artist who painted the original Castlevania III box create new art for a spiritual successor is the kind of detail that makes collectors stop and appreciate the craft behind a release. The Classic Edition doesn't overload you with extras. It gives you exactly the right pieces to create a display-ready package that honors both the game and the era it celebrates.
