Vampire Killer / Castlevania: Bloodlines / The New Generation – Cane and Rinse No.638

“TWO YOUNG VAMPIRE HUNTERS SET OUT TO FULFILL THEIR DESTINY….” New protagonists for a new era. Initially, officially, considered to be a gaiden, Konami's second game entitled Vampire Killer was arguably canonised as Castlevania: Bloodlines in the USA. Leon, Leah and Sean talk whips, spears, level design and boss fights. Even the always excellent contributions from the Cane and Rinse community can't persuade us to spend much time on the neutered European/Australian PAL version, robbed of this instalment's signature pace and blood. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_638.mp3   Music featured in this issue: 1.
