Is Sin and Punishment [N64] Worth Playing Today? - SNESdrunk

[@VortexKiller2]

Just played two levels of this on my Switch, the game kicks ass. Feels exactly like one of those bullet hell shooters you'd find in the arcade. 10/10

[@SnixBT]

The reason the game's dialogue is in English is because the game was initially developed to appeal to a western audience. But it ironically stayed a Japanese exclusive due to coming out so late in the N64's life.

[@parrishharris3008]

Now that makes absolute since

[@djhero0071]

That might actually explain why the game looks so incredible.

[@zeromusura3497]

Yeah. But why the f..k Nintendo didn't port on the GameCube?? Nintendo reasoning? Men I hate and love nintendo. I wish this game was released on the west on 98'. This game is one of the best example on quality and programing on N64. Too bad, too late.

[@SonicDMonkey]

Fantastic game, I was following its development closely back in the day, I still remember the disappointment I felt when it was official that it wouldn't be released outside Japan. Make no mistake, having only an N64 in the late 90s was an exercise in perseverance, what with how few games were being released.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

I would say having just an N64 was an exercise in disappointment. When I finally got my gray PlayStation it opened my eyes big time.

Heh, loved my N64, got a fair library for it, though I swear about a third or more are Nintendo's own titles. Definitely was looking forward to Sin & Punishment, but then no release... until the Wii... and that 5 year wait? Totally totally worth it.

[@victerzian7877]

I didn't truly get into the Nintendo 64 till 25 years later. I was a PS1 gamer back then and lost interest in Nintendo by that time. I will say though the N64 is a system that doesn't have a whole lot of games, but the ones it has are really good

[@TheMr77469]

@@ZenithfilmsUK The story I've heard from multiple sources is that Nintendo had it all ready to go and translated but I guess it was so close to the end of the N64 at the last minute they scrapped it. They did end up releasing it digitally on the Wii eShop but that was it. It's good to know it's "out in the wild" and hopefully should we see an N64 classic or N64 games on the Nintendo online service or both it'll show up there as well just like Star Fox 2 did.

[@amerikaOnFire]

@@JohnDoe-wq5eu The translation that is out there is not made by Nintendo. There is a lot of drama around it actually which is why you can't find the patch for the ROM on romhacking or similar sites. The creator of the translation for the version that is for emulators had an issue with the translator for the real hardware version and there was some politics involved. So the real hardware patch or patched rom is harder to come by.

[@amerikaOnFire]

Indeed there is. I spent hours one night going through a bunch of sketchy sites only to finally find it on a .ru site years ago. Best believe I fired up a very well contained virtual machine to do all that. However, it is included in a very popular rom pack so it should be easier to find these days.

[@wileecoyotegenius5955]

This actually was released on America on the Wii Virtual Console (it cost 2 more dollars than other N64 games), and the menus are in English on that version. The game does have a save feature...kind of. It's more like a resume play feature, it saves your place but if you run out of continues you still have to start all over. It's a great game, more people should play it.

[@elbitxo5945]

[@dadangsudadang5963]

Honestly the lighting and textures reminds me a lot of ps2 games. It's really is amazing

[@chaser5616]

That girl face suprise me

[@Jerhevon]

​I think it's one of those, the N64 could manage far more triangles than it could texture. So S&P being a late N64 game where people really had experience with the system and really were pushing what they could do, I'm hard pressed to think of another N64 game that pushes the same number of moving targets at times. Sure the main character is entirely oragami to really push things, but it works. I will say, I waited 5 years for this game to come stateside. Because when I got it as a Wii Download, that was amazing. And I think the success of the push behind the download and the success of the download is what got Sin & Punishment 2 released. I've since downloaded both games on my Wii U, but honestly, I have yet to launch S&P2. Word of mouth is that it's better, and yet, I don't feel like you can top the utterly insane yet perfect escalation of level design that happens in this N64 version. Within the second level, you're taking out a fleet with a hand cannon, and it keeps jumping up from there.

[@Rodzilla97]

[@KillaCheeto56]

I never played this game before until I got the N64 online app on the switch. It took me a bit to get a handle on the controls but once I did I couldn't put the game down.

[@chrislaustin]

This game was AMAZING, and then some! Even though the controls were crazy to start, once past the learning curve, this game is probably the best advertisement for the janky N64 controller(just perfection). Top 5? Probably top 3 for me, as it took the N64 to places "N" didn't even reach, but that is why Treasure is one of gaming's greatest developers, as this may be their best effort, EVER!

[@victerzian8092]

I imported this game a few months back from Japan also, and I agree that it's an awesome game. Having said that, it's hard for me to say which is my favorite Treasure game. I'm fortunate to have played many of their games, but it's just hard for me to narrow it down to just one game. I think for me the top tier Treasure games would be Sin and punishment one and two, alien soldier, ikaruga and radiant silver gun

[@RetroMoments]

By far the best Japanese game on the N64! Heck, I would even say its one of the best N64 games overall.

[@SuperTiso]

But it did release in the West on the Wii Virtual Console and the Wii U Virtual Console. In fact, not only did they port it over but they translated the menus for that release. I know from a "technical" viewpoint he meant physically, but it's really not a "play any way you can" type of game since it's easily and readily available.

[@TBoneTony]

Sin an Punishment is one of the reasons why the Virtual Console needs to come back and include the N64 library. Though the Wii sequel game of Sin and Punishment is also another awesome game, you really get some perspective for this first game before playing the sequel. The story is nuts but the game itself plays like a dream especially when you go into outlandish environments like in that water stage in the Wii sequel.

[@ArcaneAzmadi]

I remember when I got a Wii this was one of the first games I bought on the Virtual Console. This was definitely one of the biggest N64 games to never get a Western release in the system's lifetime. Never finished it, though, should go back and play it again, plus I still haven't touched my copy of the sequel. Eh, you know how it is with game backlogs.

[@32_bit_gamer]

This game is awesome! I picked it up and replaced the back with a $3 madden game to play it on my N64.

[@Gantann]

Best N64 game, yeah I said it. It was released on the Wii Virtual Console back in 2007 and was even given translations for the menus, tutorial and text-only epilogue sequence. You can still buy this version on the Wii U VC! The story is kind of cool, but you won't pick up on most of it since the setup is only in the Japanese manual. I read up on it around the time of the Wii release and when the (also great) sequel came out and going from memory the Ruffians were created using blood from Achi, which has strange and transformative properties. Once the Ruffians go out of control the Armed Volunteers group (I'm not sure if they're military or mercs) declare martial law to contain the threat and control the populace, at the same time a resistance movement called the Savior Group is formed with Achi at its head who is worshiped as, well, a savior. Sometime before the game she gives Saki and Airan her blood which gives them superhuman abilities, then we see most or all of the remaining members wiped out in the opening cutscene and the game begins. I think the story is pretty interesting with the sci-fi apocalypse and cosmic concepts it plays with, even though it has little regard for making you listen to it. The sequel expands the lore and universe a ton too but sadly ends on a cliffhanger we may never see resolved. There's also a manga adaptation of the original game that seems to go quite a different route, though it's untranslated.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

I'm shocked 20 years later the manga has still not gotten a fan translation. That's the kind of obscure crazy stuff the community loves to translate usually.

[@Gantann]

@@JohnDoe-wq5eu We got damn close, I found out about it from a post on a blog of a manga translator that was taking requests and someone had submitted that to them. They agreed to take it on and then soon after announced they weren't doing requests anymore to focus on stuff they themselves liked, so it ended up just past the cutoff point. At least they posted the raws so I could grab them for myself; there are so many things that share the series' name clogging up search results and the manga itself was one of those tie-ins that gets run one time in a magazine and never reprinted so I'm not surprised interest is low-most people who would be interested probably don't even know it exists.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

@@Gantann I'm not surprised it exists but I am surprised I've never heard of it up until now. I don't exactly go looking for obscure stuff but usually I stumble across it here and there. This certainly sounds like the one I hear was packed into the Japanese game release to explain the backstory. it wouldn't be the first and it certainly won't be the last that that happens to a game like this.

[@jessragan6714]

Fun fact! You could turn this into a proper twin stick action game if you bought it on the Wii Virtual Console service and played it with the Thrustmaster T-Wireless gamepad.

[@tombert512]

The N64 is a weird beast. Like, on the one hand, you have classics like Ocarina of Time, Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo Kazooie, Conker's Bad Fur Day, all of which are contenders for "all time great games", but for every masterpiece, there's twelve Gex 3D's or South Park's. It's really rather sad...by most objective measures, the system was a supercomputer; a proper SGI system for your home (though admittedly a lot weaker than a $100,000 workstation), but I almost wonder if that was sort of its biggest problem too. So many games were trying to push the limits of what was possible on the system, which isn't inherently a bad thing, but that leads to a lot of mediocre "tech demos" floating around. Arguably, because the SNES had *nice* (for the time), but relatively *unremarkable* hardware, people were able to focus a bit more on just making games fun. That said, I still love the N64. I have too many good memories of Ocarina of Time to ever say anything too negative about it.

[@Jerhevon]

I've definitely suggested a few "Gohome N64, you're drunk" segments for games that tried to pull off effects on the system. Everytime an N64 game has more detailed shadows, reflections, or other advanced effect. But the wizards who knew the system could pull off real magic too.

According to some video games magazines around 1999, Nintendo was supposed to publish Sin and Punishment for the US region and apparently, they were just about done and all they had left to do was create the package, manual, inserts, etc., press copies, and mail out to retailers. I was mad to all hell that the game has been abruptly cancelled, so I looked on eBay to buy a Japanese copy being that the games language also includes English and I also purchased a converter to be able to play the game. It was well worth the headache of finding the game.

[@MixMasterLar]

I love this game, it's the reason I kept my 64 around. For those that don't know, you can easily play imported games on both the N64 and SNES by using pliers to remove the plastic tabs on both sides of the pin connected of the system. It's easy and still allows it to play US games

[@Rivalseeker]

Ah, I remember getting this game when it officially released in the West on the old Wii Shop Channel. To be honest... I don't think this game has aged the best due to the aiming speed. There are some moments in the game that demand a bit too much for the aiming reticle's top speed. Shame I feel like saying that, because there are some truly awesome concepts for the game, and it laid the groundwork for the masterpiece that is its sequel.

This was recommended to me at complete random but I adore Sin & Punishment so here's a comment for support and algorithm. Any chance that the game could reach somebody's recommended so they know about it is worth supporting, and this was a solid, quick summary of everything the game has to over. Sin and Punishment looks great, plays great, it had an interesting story and characters for all five seconds of it I could understand (even with a translated manual) and I've been meaning to play Star Successor, after I replay through the original again because it's been a bit but I loved it.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

I think that game finally got an HD re-release digitally didn't it?! Otherwise it's still stuck on the Saturn.

They released a slightly translated version on the Wii Virtual Console back in the day.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

So what do you mean by slightly?

[@MisterSouji]

@@JohnDoe-wq5eu I think they translated the menus

This was one of the first and few games I downloaded on the Wii virtual console... beating it all in one sitting was the only way, and it’s like remembering a fever dream

[@wawztzta8296]

this ended up being maybe my favorite game of all time. got me into more arcadey games in general as a bonus

[@Chakeis]

I think the 2 player option is actually meant as a singleplayer option to be able to use 2 sticks like the games today
