I think this is a franchise that aged well. Just like Metroid in a way, maybe it's due to metroidvanias increasing in popularity and appreciation? Same with Megaman, but from the company's perspective these games never sold well so that's why they are probably struggling to support it. Even Metroid barely sold 3 million copies, I feel like it's just the core fans hyping it up and not really buyers to back it up. Another reason is the Banjo Kazooie case, where they can't find any experienced developers that can develop a good Metroidvania. Nintendo found a way for Metroid, hopefully Castlevania and Megaman can too.
