Next Generation has posted up some musings by Castlevania creator Koji Igarashi about the possibility of the series going 3D sometime in the near future.

Claiming that he has been unable to pump as much investment into a 3D Castlevania as he'd like, Igarashi acknowledged the suckiness of Castlevanis 64 and noted.

2D is an art form in itself, and I don't want to lose that culture... I haven't been satisfied with what I've achieved on the 3D platform, but I'm certainly churning my mind constantly about how to bring 3D to life with Castlevania

In our minds, a 3D Castlevania should take a page out of God of War's play book. We are glad to hear Igarashi stress how wonderful 2D platformers remain... a philosophy that the rest of the game industry seems to be slowly subscribing to, on portables, at least.

Igarashi also claims that "goth never goes out of style." As long as you're emotionally sixteen, that's certainly true!
