He was proud of the game that their team and Koji [Only registered users can see links. ]'s team worked on for a full year and was fond of the dual character system that Portrait of Ruin introduced. He especially said:

I'm very pleased with the outcome of Portrait of Ruin. The gameplay really feels like an extension of the classic formula with the dual characters but still feels and plays like an authentic Castlevania title. Out of all of the features and gameplay components, I think that if we had more time in development, we would have liked to expand on the multi-player and with the concept of the Shop Mode.

Adding additional courses or side-quests for the multi-player modes and maybe even working out a way to add a [second] player into the main game would have been great to add.

But perhaps the biggest news from [Only registered users can see links. ] Entertainment is that while the next Castlevania title is almost nearing completion for the PSP, they're looking forward to discovering new ways to introduce the franchise into different consoles and handhelds. There have been no official announcements on the next title or story to be worked on, but they have confirmed that they are already eyeing target consoles. Answering a question about Castlevania on the Wii, Lee said:

We're planning to continue to keep bringing fans more Castlevania titles in the future and we're not ruling out any platforms at the moment. We're looking at each and every console and are determining the strengths of each platform and [Only registered users can see links. ] and features to bring new adventures to the fans.


So gamers on the Wii, take pride and hope dearly that Konami finally [Only registered users can see links. ], and not just through the Wii's Virtual Console. For now, gamers on the Nintendo DS can rest assured that Konami is still considering their platform for another successor in the series.
