When I was hanging out with my friend last week, he bought his young daughter a strawberry-banana drink from the store. She said it tasted like bubblegum. He took a taste, and agreed.
I actually think it was a different black dude. I think it being a white dude is more likely than it being Phil Lamar though. It doesn't sound like a voice Phil Lamar could actually make.
What I'm getting out of this, is it takes a hell of a lot of effort, completely outside of practicing and getting better at the game, for the game to be playable.
Sorta related, one of my favorite epic heavy metal bands, Battleroar, wrote a song called Vampire Killer about Castlevania:
They also have a song about Double Dragon called Double Dragon.
What version of Bloody Tears? I'm mainly familiar with Castlevania II's and Castlevania IV's, and even though I otherwise really like IV's soundtrack, I prefer II's version of Bloody Tears.
I don't know / remember what other Castlevania games use that tune.
