Konami has decided to celebrate the 35th anniversary of one of its best-known franchises in an arguably controversial way.



As detailed on a new Konami Memorial NFT site, Konami will be auctioning off a handful of NFTs (non-fungible tokens) to commemorate the 35th anniversary of its long-running vampire-slaying series, Castlevania. There are a total of fourteen NFTs up for auction, which comprise game scenes, BGM, and newly drawn art from the classic franchise.

It will just be bought up by opportunistic investors, not actual fans of the franchise. Much like the fake game enthusiasts buying up collections of retro games.

I hope every company who does this goes belly up, I really do. Then they can go crawling back to actual fans.
