Virtual Console Monday – ActRaiser, Kid Chameleon, and J.J. & Jeff
Monday, May 28th, 2007 at 10:40am by David
Three new releases for the Virtual Console today:
ActRaiser – SNES – 800 Points
The user plays the role of the Master, a dethroned deity whose once-idyllic world has fallen under the control of the Evil One. Stripped of godly power, the Master must somehow put an end to the Evil One’s reign and rebuild his desolate realm.
Kid Chameleon – Genesis – 800 Points
The local arcade is packed with kids, all lining up to play the latest, most realistic video game they’ve ever seen. It’s called Wild Side, and it uses holographic images to immerse the player in a strange world. But there’s a problem… Kids are literally getting sucked into the game, and now several of them are trapped.
J.J. & Jeff – TG16 – 600 Points
This comical action game features two bungling detectives, J.J. and Jeff, as they travel through a total of six fields. One day, a request comes into their office to take a case that requires them to “rescue a wealthy man who’s been kidnapped.”
A little trivia: J.J. & Jeff is loosely based on a Japanese TV show that served as the inspiration for America’s Funniest Home Videos!
ActRaiser is a little tempting … Anyone buying any of these new releases?

Darn it! I’ve been waiting for ActRaiser, and I ended up spending some points on Streets of Rage 2 the other day, so now I’m 100 points short.
Ah well…I’ll snag it in the future, I’m sure.

Actraiser is a very good classic. It was one of my first SNES games, and lost count on how many times I played it start to finish. The music alone blew me away, but the graphics were quite nice as well. I may just plunk down the 800 pts. for it to bring back the memories.

I love Actraiser, I really do. But i’ve decided that i’m going to minimize my VC purchases to games that have a good replay value. Some good examples are Zombies Ate My Neighbors, Mutant League Hockey, Mutant League Football. Those aren’t out yet, but those are some titles i would immediately shell out cash for. And where the hell is Megaman 2???
