Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin is great

[DMiller]

... all of Igarashi's Castlevania games have been Metroidvania or 3d stuff. Could the current Castlevania team do a good classic-style Castlevania game like Super Castlevania IV or Castlevania Dracula X: Rondo of Blood?

That's a good question. They certainly have their own Castlevania style down, but it has been such a long time since the last classic Castlevania game (what game came before Symphony of the Night?) that it might be tough for them to go back to the roots of the series. It would be interesting to see a mix of the two types of games, though, and it could be incredible if done well.
