GamingUnion.net: Sin & Punishment: Star Successor Preview

GamingUnion.net writes: "Back in 2000, Treasure, a developer known for classic rail-shooters such as Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun, released a new rail-shooter entitled Sin & Punishment on the Nintendo 64. The title was firmly rooted in the classic Treasure rail-shooter formula, but was in 3D instead of the 2D approach many of the developer's titles had used in the past. Due to delays in the game's development and the weakening market for the Nintendo 64, the title never made it outside of Japan, even though it was made with a Western audience in mind with English voiceovers. In late 2007 Nintendo released the title on the Wii's Virtual Console.

The success of the game on the Virtual Console allowed for a sequel to be made, which was first revealed during Nintendo's Fall 2008 conference. It was actually released last Fall in Japan and North American and European gamers have been waiting for news about the game and when it would be released after numerous delays and postponements. Now, with only a few weeks left before the European and North American releases, is Sin & Punishment: Star Successor worth the wait? If what we've seen so far indicated anything, it appears that the title will be able to cater to both the hardcore Treasure fans and those who are new to the rail-shooter genre."

If you look at Super Mario Galaxy HD releases via emulator on Nvidia shield in China it should be super easy for any number of Wii games to do the same thing to be ported on the Switch as well! I really wonder what they are waiting for?!

I love The Last Story. Would be nice to get a sequel or at least a remaster.

The Top 10 Turtles in a Nintendo Game

Andrew N from Negative World says: "I like turtles! That’s no surprise to most of the members here, but few probably know the extent to which turtles were involved in the lives of myself and my family. Turtles were pretty much always a huge part of my childhood as far back as I can remember, and at one point we owned something like 30 of them at once! Some of the turtles that we owned were probably not quite legal, as we often got hand-me-downs from friends of the family who found a turtle in the wild, took it home to keep as a pet, realized they had no idea what they were doing, and passed it on to the only people in their circle that might know what to do with wild turtles, my turtle-loving family. So yeah, between the ones we bought and the ones that were given to us, we ended up with a lot of turtles."
