SNES Firefighting Game The Ignition Factor Now Available On Wii U Virtual Console
The Ignition Factor, a 1995 Super Nintendo game about saving civilians and fighting fires from Jaleco, is now available on Wii U Virtual Console.
It's not a classic as it is not widely known, but it is an interesting game. We played it on our The Peace Keepers episode of Replay. The Ignition Factor segment begins around the 34:45 mark.

Our Take
It wasn't until I started looking at the screenshots for this game that I realized we played it on Replay. I liked what we saw, and in retrospect realize it actually has a Metal Gear Solid V vibe – pick your tools, rescue people from a location, and get support from a leader calling in and giving you instructions.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
