Dennis Lee, Product Marketing Manager for Castlevania: Portrait of Ruin, was asked by Cubed3 in an interview as to what were his own opinions on the final release version of the title that came out in last year. He was proud of the game that their team and Koji Igarashi'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.

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 how to utilize the new hardware and features to bring new adventures to the fans.
