I know I know it’s a day late but Monday was a holiday for those crazy guys in the states so let’s give them a break.
Anyhoo, 3 more goodies for the Wii Shop channel today, including one of my personal favorite SNES titles ActRaiser.
Now sure a lot of people like ActRaiser and they should it’s a great game. I can talk ad nauseum about the religious commentary and genre bending gameplay which combines side-scrolling action with god-like simulation but you’ve heard all that before. What does it for me with ActRaiser is the sprite work and overall art direction of the game, totally top notch.
Oh how I long for the carefree days of the 16-bit era where you didn’t need fancy dancy “core-processors” to make a game look good. Twas a simpler time, when game marketing was incredibly cheesy and people didn’t play videogames they played “Nintendo”.

I guess I’m too young to know ANY OF THESE TITLES!!! What’s with all these lame titles from Nintendo…so very disapointing.
