Castlevania II: Belmont’s Revenge – Cane and Rinse No.576

“The Belmont family has a long history of Vampire Hunters.” In our latest Castlevania show we land At Konami's second attempt at bringing the full-fat horror platformer experience to handheld in Castlevania II: Belmont's Revenge. Leon, Brian, Jon, Leah and listener contributors find a slightly yet significantly upgraded protagonist - and one who can now even use axes and holy water - in this assault on Dracula's real estate portfolio. Special praise is doled out for a remarkable 8-bit soundtrack, though significant ire is reserved for an especially tough final showdown. http://media.blubrry.com/caneandrinse/caneandrinse.com/podcast/cane_and_rinse_issue_576.mp3   Music featured in this issue:1.
