Konami Confirms Castlevania: Belmont's Curse Hits 30fps on Switch, Needs 4GB-6GB Storage

3 articles · Updated · Nintendo Life · Jul 25

Konami updated its Castlevania site to confirm the original Switch version of Belmont's Curse will run at 30fps and require about 4GB for the standard edition or 6GB for the Midnight Edition.
Other versions are set to run at 60fps, creating a clear performance gap for the Switch release even as the 2D action-exploration game is being marketed with "faster and more fluid gameplay."
The Switch build is still scheduled to launch alongside other platforms on Oct. 15, 2026, and supports English and Japanese audio plus 10 text language options.
Konami has only confirmed the game for the original Switch so far, with no native Switch 2 version or upgrade path announced.
