Nintendo 64 Longplay: Sin and Punishment

[@luisreyes1963]

For those fortunate to own a Nintendo Switch, that game Sin & Punishment is now available for download on the Virtual Console service.

And I can't wait to play!

[@sirgs5662]

Is it the fixed version from the Wii VC or the OG where none of the translation work was done yet though?

[@mitchjames9350]

I wish we can purchase these older games instead of renting them.

[@Herobrine100x]

​@@sirgs5662It's the translated version

Another masterpiece from the N64 catalogue. Said this, does anybody know why the hell this title never came out in Europe nor in USA?

[@kawamikazecheant]

I would say because of how difficult it looks, they might didn't know how to sell this in Europe and USA ? Japan always had hardcore gamers, but in Europe N64 was often considered as a kid's console or as a multiplayers' console, and this game looks dope but rail shooters were kind of obsolete at this time after all FPS ( GoldenEye, Turok, Quake, Doom 64, Hexen etc. ) and to finish chara design is " very japanese " if that could mean anything, and a lot of lights too, so epilepsy could be another reason...

[@mrhs5220]

It was originally supposed to come out in the US. I saw an article in a game magazine about it that said to expect a US release. It has an English voice cast. It even thanks Nintendo of America in the ending credits! It has nothing to do with the difficulty, as the default difficulty setting is really kind of a cakewalk. Really the big reason that it didn't come out in the US was that sales of the N64 consoles and games were dropping off, and NoA was switching its focus to marketing the Gamecube so they decided it wouldn't be a good financial move to bring this game to the US when probably not a lot of people were gonna buy it. (Some people say that the reason we never saw this or Treasure's other N64 game, the incredible Bakuretsu Muteki Bangaioh is because sales of Mischief Makers was so disappointing.)

​@GodNotReallol no you couldn't. This game was never released on anything other than n64 in Japan until the wii virtual console. Treasure never made arcade games. You must be confusing it with something else.

[@kazenna]

It was ported to the Switch in all regions, but the text is still untranslated

[@kuzuthunder1964]

⁠@@M0z1ng0You are wrong about treasure not making arcade games. Radiant silvergun and Ikaruga originally released on arcades before they were ported on Saturn/Dreamcast.

[@Frisenette]

The best score to a game ever and the best rail shooter ever made.

[@mythicdale8757]

It is good but is pretty similar to a lot of other Japanese soft rock arcade music of the time.

[@Frisenette]

@@mythicdale8757please tell me which ones.

[@mythicdale8757]

@@Frisenette An accurate answer with research would require at least 1 hour of my day. if you pay me $18 I will happily oblige.

[@Frisenette]

@@mythicdale8757 guess you are too busy with finding a new job if that is your hourly going price. The 80’s Citypop/Fusion Techno-kayō is exactly super unique. And more importantly exceptionally well executed. There is nothing like that score.

[@mythicdale8757]

@@Frisenette Just this week i came across the Bouncer for PS2 which has a similar sound aesthetic. Its literally commonplace amongst Japanese design studios circa '95 - 2010. S&P reminds me a lot of what you would here in Sonic Adventure.

[@9ner]

a damn shame this never came out in america, i would've loved it as a kid...

[@Darkchao_berserko22]

Yeah same. But at least it was fortune enough to land on the Wii vc and later switch

[@MartyToysChannel]

took a while to figure out how to fight the last boss, thank you, finally I could beat it

[@rockhyde7775]

This game is if Radiant Silvergun and Wild Guns had a baby, this game would be it. It’s like how my brother described Drainus to be if Thunder Force and Ikaruga had a baby.

shoot out the turrets first before going for the canopy in the middle

also forgot to mention that you can tap the trigger to smack the missiles back (if you didn't know)

[@qmachado6555]

This game looks awesome! Reminds me of an ACTUAL arcade cabinet game. I heard its on switch...Subscription to N64 or game download?

AMAZING VIDEOGAME...only Japan can make this kind of games...

It was quite late into the consoles life cycle when this came out and they probs didnt see too much of a point as its so unique anyways

[@alex64gaming]

[@CEOofWasrael]

I think it was a Japan only release but they put it on the switch.

[@Heimdall66]

Why this game never was released in USA in the N64 Era?

[@hipsterelephant2660]

Development for the n64 ended earlier than expected and this game was a low priority.

[@G.K.19]

The characters looks creepy

[@Mr.Feather130]

Well it's the early N64 and PS1 era type of designs of the characters where they look a bit weird
