I picked up Sin & Punishment: Star Successor yesterday, and so far, it's a blast. A hell of a challenging one, too. I'm playing through on Normal difficulty with the Wii Remote and Nunchuk, though the game supports just about every control configuration save the Wii Remote by itself (you can even use the Wii Zapper, if that's your thing), and it flows very well. About the only place where the game lacks is in the story department, but the story is actually pretty on par with a Treasure game, so it's no real big surprise there. Also, if you want to save your ears from the English voice acting, the Japanese voice track is included.
Anyone else pick the game up yet? What are your thoughts on it so far?
Sin & Punishment: Star Successor
Game » consists of 7 releases. Released Oct 29, 2009
Grab a gunsword and charge your way through hundreds of on-screen enemies to escape persecution for something your father did in this sequel to Treasure's N64 cult classic shooter.
So, who else picked up Sin & Punishment?
I think most people could. I mean you would have to have some brittle bone disease of some kind of muscle problem not to. The game isn't that heavy.

Really? Who? When?
" @Willy105 said:Just fans of shooters in general. It's crazy, it's insane, and it's really tough." I'm surprised this game hasn't getting as much attention here than it has elsewhere.

There aren't many Nintendo fans into this game, actually. Not much of a fanboy thing. The IP never got around to building mass market appeal since only being playable in Japan and on the Virtual Console.
Although you insult one of the series' fans, it probably won't go well.
Bought it day one, and have completed playthroughs for Isa and Kachi, and unlocked the ability to switch between them midgame.
Quite possibly Treasure's best game to date.
Also, it's a title where price =/= game length. I'm certainly gonna continue to increase my score.

Maybe I sold my Wii too early

Sin & Punishment is definitely a game with a niche appeal, but it's still incredibly designed and in my opinion among Treasure's best. People can bemoan the lack of Star Fox on the Wii all they want, but given that all most Star Fox fans want is just another Star Fox 64, which Nintendo is remaking for the 3DS, incidentally, I don't see what there is to complain about in that respect. Star Successor is all about blasting things out of the sky and wracking up high scores while taking in Treasure's imaginative art and crazy boss designs.
And yes, I'd rather have this than a new Star Fox.
