Sin and Punishment 2 Lands in Europe

Sin and Punishment, originally released in Japan in 2000 for the Nintendo 64, was heralded with critical acclaim, praised for its relentless action and forged a great legacy behind it. European players were given a treat when this cult game was made available to download through Virtual Console on Wii years later as part of the Hanabi Festival. This week Wii owners can expect explosive, exhilarating run-and-gun action as Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Skies launches across Europe on 7th May 2010.

A rapid-fire arcade action game following the tradition of Japanese developer, Treasure, Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Skies pits two characters, Isa Jo (male) and Kachi (Female) against seemingly endless hordes of attacks by violent creatures from the dimension; fourth earth.
