They made one crucial mistake with DD. Making the game too late in the DS-era. It came out 3 MONTHS prior to the 3DS. This meant, that if they wanted to make another sequel, they would have to program the whole game engine from scratch for an even more complex hardware, right after they just barely managed to do exactly that for the DS... imagine if they would have started development say 2-3 years earlier, they'd have had that much time after Dark Dawn to make a sequel to it, in which they could borrow a lot of the work and right away focus on content, story and improving the presentation. It could have possibly even meant 3 games instead of just 1.



So while I'm not too optimistic about any more entries to the series anytime soon... I do see one way how they could pull it off better this time, if they wanted to.

Nintendos next hardware, the NX is on the horizon.. so if they got their hands on developer kits ASAP, they would be in a much better position.

In addition to that, they could start "reviving" the series by making a remake of the first 2 games FIRST.

This way, they could focus on the technical aspect, getting the look and gameplay right, pander to all the old fans, as well as bringing everyone new to the series up to speed on the initial story.

With the remake out of the way, the ground would be set, they'd have a base to make use of for the actual new games as well as enough time to finish any stories they would start.
