Quote from: Graham on 15 December 2009, 21:43Okei. En tiennytkään, että joillakin peliyhtiöillä on tapana käyttää erillisiä julkaisuyrityksiä, mikäli eivät itse halua sitä hoitaa. Nintendon peleissä kun julkaisijana on yleensä aina toiminut joko pelin tehnyt yritys tai sitten Nintendo.Syy tälle on siinä, että tuohon aikaan Nintendo rajoitti paljonko yksi pelitalo sai julkaista NESille vuosittain. Konamin ratkaisu oli perustaa bulvaanifirmat Ultra Games Pohjois-Amerikkaan ja Palcom Eurooppaan, joiden kautta julkaista enemmän kun Nintendon asettama viiden kappaleen raja tuli vastaan.

After over a year of searching, I've finally tracked down and stalked...er...staked...or...interviewed the very first English voice actor for Castlevania's Dracula...Michael Guinn. We discuss how he ended up living in Japan, his career in advertising for companies like Sony and how that transitioned into recording several games with Konami, including Castlevania Symphony of the Night. During this interview, we learn more about behind the scenes of recording the voice over for this legendary game along with his friendship with fellow voice actor Robert Begrade aka Alucard! We even get a new opportunity to hear what Michael would've sounded like in the retranslation of the game that released in the Dracula X Chronicles/Requiem collection. This is the first ever interview that Michael has done specifically regarding his role as Dracula. I hope you enjoy this landmark interview that I've been working to get for so, so long!
HUGE thank you to Michael Guinn for his time, patience and dedication to getting his story heard! Please check out his Instagram page for more info about upcoming conventions he will be attending. / the.real.michael.g
