ActRaiser coming to US VC

Square-Enix is setting up to release ActRaiser via the Wii’s Virtual Console in the US since they’ve already had the game rated on the ESRB. Why should you care? Well, this side scroller/strategy hybrid is considered by some to be one of the best games on the Super NES and we’d have to agree with them.

The story is quite interesting. Your character, aptly called The Master, has to battle and defeat his eternal enemy, The Evil One, who wants to conquer the world. The Evil One’s six Guardians attacked The Master and were able to gravely injure him. He retreated to his Sky Palace, erected a shield and fell into a coma as his body slowly healed.

During this time, The Evil One has decided to divide the world into six territories, assigning each one to his guardians. The Master woke up and realized what happened. He finds himself weakened by the evil that has pervaded the populace and goes on a crusade to vanquish his foes and bring order to the lands once again.

If that caught your attention, then you really have to play the game to fully appreciate the game. Be sure to keep checking back here for the latest VC releases on the Wii.
