Coming This Year, But One Question Stays: Where’s the Nintendo Switch 2 Version?

Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse is a big surprise because the Castlevania franchise has only attracted attention with re-releases and collections lately. However, Konami has finally realized that it needs to do something new. Castlevania: Belmont’s Curse will be released sometime this year on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, PC, and Nintendo Switch. Where is the Nintendo Switch 2 port? After all, the Switch 2 has more powerful hardware than the original Switch.
