Why I think a spinoff is better than a prequel (Mini-Game)
The prequel game became a mini-game spinoff. Reasons unknown. I do have a theory though.
Koji Igarashi have stated before that his biggest mistake with Castlevania were to give it a solid time-frame. While lore and such fits in nicely it leaves less space for creativity if you do not bend the rules or make a story play out in another dimension or reality, making them "non-canon".
When it comes to Bloodstained, I believe Koji Igarashi have learned from his previous mistake and want to have adventures in both the past, the now and in the future.
A spinoff makes sense instead of an prequel, not only to not limit itself, but also make future installments of the game easier to create. Perhaps the next adventure of Bloodstained might, or might not touch upon the subject about the guild that tried to summon the evil spirits from the beginning. Or maybe whoever wrote the guide of this to actually make the rituals which lead up to Miriam and Gebel getting these curses and abilities which they possess.
Its a general smart move and just in the details. Having a prequel that leads up to Miriam waking up from her coma, (this is where we start our game what we understand), could hinder both story, timeline, creativity and features.
It can also help whatever spinoff game to stand on its own feet and become "its own". I mean.. How about a series of 2D pixel games if this mini-game is a blast?
I wouldn't say no to that!
