Konami will do it eventually, when they stop letting mobsters run their company and learn that gaming money is big money. The gaming populous has powerful sway in the types of products that are churned out.. Castlevania is well known enough to become a blockbuster title without needing any additional crap (like LOS) attached to its identity. The other thing is CV being iconic enough and having iconic enough artwork, music etc  to be merchandised. I have faith.

It will happen one day, unless the company goes under. (Unlikely due to mobsters...)

If Bloodstained and season 2 of the Netflix series are both big hits, I could certainly see a "Castlevania: The Animated Series: The Game."  Which I would totally be ok with.  It would more than likely just be a Metroidvania remake of Cv3 with the series' aesthetic and version of events.  Though I'd honestly prefer something like Breath of the Wild, with a bit of Dark Souls thrown in.

Dracula was not always a monster. He was once a man named Mathias Cronqvist. A flawed, conflicted, genius of a man. How did the educated, aristocratic, crusader who piously served the church become a vampire, and eventually the Dark Lord himself, the opposing force to God? From a very young age terrors and tragedy shaped the man into the king of all evil. This is his story.

Really hoping that new entry is Castlevania: Belmont's Revenge Rebirth.  But it's probably metal gear.

The only way I could think is if there is Wii emulator and you have a Windows tablet. For example I have Lenovo Miix 8 and I can play emulated games like PS2 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nhM2Y3pKUw

However I am not even sure if this is possible - here is a video that shows some emulation but I don't know - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8PyzdnJqQE

It won't happen unless Konami undergoes a fundamental value shift away from where they've been for years, and where they've been is a proven money maker in a stable market that isn't as fickle or difficult to serve as the hardcore/enthusiast gamer market.

I don't see it happening ever, under any circumstances... barring Konami being *this far* from declaring bankruptcy and pulling out all the stops as one last Hail Mary to snatch back profitability. Which is, as I described above, almost impossibly unlikely.
How not to be a dark lord: the answer to that is a terribly interesting answer that involves an almost Jedi-like adherence to keeping oneself under control and finding ways to be true to yourself in a way that doesn't encourage the worst parts of you to become dangerously exaggerated and instead feeds your better nature. Also, protip: don't fuck with Alchemy or strike up any deals with ancient Japanese Shinigami gods no matter how tempting the deal or how suavely dressed the Shinigami is.

Konami has become a company that loves to be a gambling company in Japan.

Consider traditional games as something supplemental to that. Their efforts post-Metal Gear Solid V on the game front look like budget projects.

I'm looking forward to Bloodstained.  Because Castlevania is dead as long as it's a Konami property.
