If they want the franchise to continue on, get rid of the pretentious, over the top crap that is the modern series and turn it back into an ass-kicking 2D side-scroller.

It worked with Castlevania, Mario, Donkey Kong and ...Well just know that it could work. Not sure if they have the balls to go that route though.

They could easily go the retro-modern route by making an XBLA / PSN title like many companies have successfully done with their classic franchises like Mega Man and Sonic.  It'd be a helluvalot cheaper too.
