You very likely did not play Bram Stoker’s Dracula pinball for the Nintendo Switch because you didn’t have the opportunity to do so. It was removed that quickly after The Pinball Arcade was released on that platform. You’ll see why it was probably a good idea that you missed it.
For the sake of pinball history, @The Pinball Chick (Indie Gamer Chick) shows how the Nintendo Switch messed up Bram Stoker’s Dracula before de-listing it.

A big reason why I like Bram Stoker’s Dracula is its simplicity. It’s easy to learn and easy to teach. It doesn’t need a wizard mode. The pressure of stacking together the three multiballs provides me with that “just one more game” attitude that gets me to play again. Although BSD is a simple game, the challenge of stacking those three multiballs into the 30 Million per shot party time mode is not academic.
You have to shoot just enough of the shots at certain times to make the number of them to start each multiball line up just right. When you do, and all three are ready to link together, you can cash in big by pulling the trigger on them all! If you don’t, you may end up with just two out of three or heartrendingly, have two running and lose your multiball with the third one just on the doorstep. If that happens … well it’s time to rebuild the house again. You are not too far away from doing so if you manage your shots correctly.
When you do manage to start “party time”, the game’s volume is boosted, vampires are being stabbed and vaporized, a horse-drawn wagon comes out for some reason, bats are being dispatched, rats are being de-rezzed, and hors d’oeuvres are being served to Dr. Seward. However, you can’t just flip the flippers like crazy and haphazardly fling the balls around because you are excited, or party time will end quickly.
The reason why I keep playing Bram Stoker’s Dracula after doing the triple stack is to try to do it again. Games don’t need to be convoluted and deep to be re-playable.
It’s such a shame that the Nintendo Switch’s port of this game ended up the way it did.
