Actraiser - Image 1


Remember when we said that Square-Enix will support the Wii's Virtual Console? Yeah, just in case there are still a few unbelievers out there, here's the proof: Enix's sim/platformer hybrid Actraiser is coming to the Japanese VC in March. Yep, Squeenix has decided to root around in Enix's back catalogue for it's first VC release.

Some of you may have expected - heck, PRAYED for - Final Fantasy, but trust me, check out Actraiser. If you always thought religious games (or at least games with religious subtexts) were boring, this title may just prove you wrong.

Actraiser is a great game. I just wish you could spend more time on the villiage management stuff without having to leave 1 enemy spawn alive.
