Partnering once again with Dr. Albert Light, Mike finally gets the clone thing right...but which one is the clone? Enjoy this year's Halloween video where we sit down and crack open the coffin of Castlevania Rondo of Blood (Just in time for it's 30th anniversary!) AND Castlevania Dracula X! Both of these games have been compared for decades but is Dracula X REALLY a port? Find out on this super deep dive on DYHPTG?!
Big thanks to Console Wars for the cameo! Go watch their channel (And their latest halloween video too!) youtube.com/channel/UC4Cza8wE3HGa4tq3WuwmbKw
Also special thanks to Tim Leininger for helping with the Dr. Albert Light role once more! Tim runs a great channel devoted to theater/musicals! Check it out here@onemansopinion8135: youtube.com/@onemansopinion8135
Mr. Matt Creamer (AKA Norrin Radd) is an amazing VGM composer, and I'm very lucky to have him as my intro music guy! Check out his stuff here: raddlandstudios.com | twitch.tv/raddland | youtube.com/@raddland
As always, thanks so much to Paul Hallaway for his intro effects!
Shout out and thanks to @danmakumanG (Twitter) for his Turbo Duo footage of Rondo/his console!
Additional tunage, "C-Funk" by Kevin Incompetch
"Divine Bloodlines" rearrangement off of the Dracula Tribute 1 album.
