I think we just need to face facts and accept that there won't be another Darkstalker game. First off, as mentioned already, 2D is already dying off and they probably wouldn't do it from a business aspect. Which means, if they did make a new one, there is about a 50% chance, if not higher, that it would be 3D. Taking that into account, plus the fact that if no one designer-wise has requested to continue it and if the sequel is just forced by the fans in a way, then there is a good chance the game might not be even that good. The best way for the series to resurrect is to have a good designer, who knows what they are doing in terms of 2D fighting games and works in Capcom (maybe an outside company, but it would probably have to be someone inside Capcom), request to continue the series and go through the internal politically tape around the series, and then perform a miracle of having the game live up to expectations. Sad to say, this is really unlikely. Just like some of the characters in the game, Darkstalkers will remain its own undead creature of the night. Some of us own the copies of one or all the of the games in the DS series, and when we see it in the arcades, it brings back those memories of way back when, but when we face facts, the series is dead. It is like a ghost or zombie that can be found in areas of our past (old consoles or arcades) and brings back good memories of times long past. Hehe, at least it is kind of an appropriate end for the series, living as an undead legend rather than dying with a pathetic last game :)

Personally, I don't think Video Games in General, especially Fighting Games will ever wrap up every single storyline because it kills all chances for a Sequel and hey, you never now. That's why Ryu vs. Sagat won't get resolved, Iori vs. Kyo will never get resolved, Andy and Mai will never hook up and outside of Fighting Games, you'll never see Zero kill the Original Megaman (It's heavily conjectured that he does) or Super Mario marry Princess Toadstool.
And what happens when a Game series does in Fact finish? Take Legend of Zelda, the Adventure of Link. Link finally hooks up with Zelda. And guess what happens? We get a whole slew of prequels! Yippee!
While I agree that companies will always left something for later the case we are talking of is that companies left something WAY open and later they don't close it. The could and should have risked one last game to close said matters. I have noticed that lately games have taken too much from the movies; for example in Tekken the endings where pretty strong, guys falling from cliffs and almost definitives things; but in Tekken 4 we got nothing but open gaps and "happy" endings, no one dies ;)
On the secuel thing we also got games with no storyline at all... For example look at KoF, aside for the mains, the rest is just moving a finger.
