    ActRaiser originally had me sold on owning a SNES. It was really one of those early launch titles I just needed to have, despite the lack of critical game. Looking back, this is certainly a game that deserved it, especially for the rocking Yuzo Koshiro soundtrack, which heightened the game to a whole new dimension, resulting in a cinematic atmosphere unlike any other at the time.

    More so than probably any title, ActRaiser really deserves a second chance at the market thanks to the Virtual Console. Being unique among video games as a side-scrolling platformer/simulation hybrid, it really deserves another opportunity to shine and should be welcomed by all with open arms.

    I must have replayed Actraiser over a hundred times. You could beat this game in less than 2 hours! But it was just as satisfying each time… they don’t make ‘em like that no more!
