NowGamer: We discover that all-too-rare commodity; a killer app for Wii...
As big Treasure fans, we were delighted when Nintendo finally brought Sin and Punishment to the west on Virtual Console. Indeed, the decision to port this game made sense as when it was originally launched for the N64 in Japan, it came with a full English voice track. So after paying the admission fee we, like many others, played through a highly stylistic rail-shooter which although a tad short, contained all the finesse and sophistication of a true Treasure classic. However, after seeing the credits roll, we never really expected a sequel, but as a developer that continues to surprise, Treasure went and made one anyway.
Samuel Evans: "The Wii had an interesting year releasing most entries in Nintendo's key game lineups. The question is did it payoff on their own system or did third party rule the day?"
Still think that Super Mario Galaxy 2 is overrated. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't the ultimate 10 out of 10 game everyone scored it as. And number 1? Really?
Nerds on the Rocks takes a look at June 2010, not the most eventful month for game releases, but some solid titles do see the light of day.
yea, portable game of the year for sure!, as for console... probably Mass Effect 2.. my(underrated GOTY) probably Metro 2033 or Singularity..
Game-Boyz writes: "Since the early 90's, Treasure has been making some of the most intense action games around, from the moment they first wowed us with Gunstar Heroes on the SEGA Genesis. Silhouette Mirage, Bangai-O, Ikaruga — these guys know how to deliver hardcore thrills. Now they've brought their signature run and gun gameplay to the Wii with Sin & Punishment: Star Successor. A sequel to a cult Nintendo 64 game that was only released in Japan called Sin & Punishment (now available on the Virtual Console), this is a strange choice for Nintendo to publish. Most Treasure and shooter fans alike will be glad the company did though because this could be one of the best Wii games this year."
