After an entire morning of hearing about the DS Fire Emblem, Mario & Luigi RPG 3, and the new Punch-Out!!, I thought to myself: “Shame, be damned! If Nintendo announces another awesome game I am going to don a luxurious white wedding dress and marry the gosh darn company!” Well ... er ... I don’t know anything about dress sizes. Would I be a 4?
For anyone not familiar with the original, Sin & Punishment is a Treasure action/shooter hybrid for the Nintendo 64. The game is played from a third-person, behind-the-back action perspective, but feels almost like a shmup since you can only move left and right while aiming an on-screen cursor to shoot at enemies. After remaining only in Japan, Sin & Punishment finally made its way to America via the Virtual Console last year. The wait was well worth it -- the game is incredible (download it!).
Not much is known about this Wii sequel, but I don’t really care at this point. Take a look at the screens! They are gorgeous! It looks like the same gameplay style is making a glorious return and that makes me very happy. Let’s hope Nintendo doesn’t make the same mistake twice and actually brings Sin & Punishment 2 to the West.
What do you think? Is this the biggest surprise announcement of the day? Are you a fan of the original Sin & Punishment? Do you finally forgive Nintendo for its crazy summer?

Chad, you'd look bangin in a wedding dress.
I remember reading about Sin & Punishment 1 when it was released and I was hopeful that it would come over seas but my dreams were crushed. I didn't know it was out on the Wii Virtual Console , this is great I'm going to go check it out here in a bit! Glad to see Treasure getting some love on Wii
I love Ikaruga on gamecube!
S&P2, plus a new Punch Out, a remake of the original Klonoa for Wii and of course VanillaWare's Oboru Muramasa. The Wii might actually get some decent games next year.
It looks awesome, except the character's weapons look like a wiimote and nunchuk.
THIS MORE THAN MAKES UP FOR THE CRAPPY
PAPER MARIO !!
TREASURE .., I LOVE YOU!!!
I understand where you're coming from. I enjoyed S&P quite a bit, but there was a definite aura of awe and wonder surrounding it simply because it's an import that never came out here. Also, Treasure fans.
It's a good game, though.
First Punch Out and now this!!
Go Nintendo!
I dunno, sorta seems like a side story thing rather than a true sequel.
Unless that's the kid of the first two protanginists.....
Wait it is, blue shirt blonde hair.
Thats him.
Heh, really jumping forward. I was hoping to see more about the aftermath of the first one.
Maybe they'll have playable flash backs or something.
Can't wait to grab this one.
I love the first S&P, and I'm not gonna lose this one.
I LOVE YOU NINTENDO!
the wii really is shaping up to be the best successor to my beloved dreamcast.. sega should put afterburner climax, house of the dead ex, virtua cop 3, and (i know its so old) plannet harriers on there.. or just a new space harrier would do.. itd be perfect for the system.
i could go on all day so im gonna stop myself.. good times wii fans, (or just fans of games in general). good times.
Bestest News ever!
Damn, now I wanna go to Dave and Busters and play some shooters.
Have you ever played the original on Virtual Console? An arcade adaptation would only complicate the controls further.
Release it in Europe this time, Treasure!
