Last Castlevania on the DS?

User Rating: 9.5 | Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin DS
By Coronatus | Review Date:
First of all, let me say this is not a negative review. In fact, the very opposite is the case. However, as you can read in the official review as well as on the hints, cheats, easter eggs page, the game offers a lot of unlockable playmodes.

Konami has really done a great job at giving this game a huge potential long-time playability. Some mods like the level-1-cap old axe armor mode along with the nest of evil will surely tie even the most hardcore of gamers to their handhelds for months, if not years to come.

What does that mean though? In the past he release of a game that contains "a lot, more and just about everything" by Konami usually meant that this was the last game of the series released for that gaming system. Just think of Soma Cruz on the GB Advance.

There is no way to confirm this - and I really do hope it is not the case, however, I got a feeling in my guts that at least the next Castlevania will be Wii-based.
