Will this be the last Castlevania on the DS? I don’t know the answer to that, but I sure hope it isn’t. If it is, this may end up being the last 2d Castlevania game we ever see. Let’s treat it as such, and pick this baby up later this month. If you are a Castlevania fan, you will be far from disappointed.
