US VC finally gets Sin & Punishment, Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels |
Ó
North America is doing catch up on its game library for the Virtual Console. This week, the US will finally be getting games that have been released in other regions already. These two games for this week also mark the launch of the new "Import" genre in the VC. From here on out, we can expect more games that have never been originally released here.First up is Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. It was originally released as Super Mario Bros 2 in Japan and never really got that much exposure over here. Japan's VC had already gotten this title way back, and just recently Europe did as well (for a limited time only though). This title hails from the NES platform and is available for 600 Wii Points.
Meanwhile, we also finally get our grubby hands on what everyone's been raving about: Sin & Punishment. Japan got it last month; Europe, just last week. Some of you lucky fans of Japanese imports are sure to be familiar with this Nintendo 64 title. Take a trip back to the third-person quasi-rail shooter that pits you against the nasty horde of Ruffians. As an N64 title, Sin & Punishment costs 1,200 Wii Points.

For all who want to know about the much-overrated Sin & Punishment:
Don't get me wrong, it's a great game for what it is. Treasure-developed, on the N64. But you'll soon learn it really ain't all it's cracked up to be. This is the kind of game that was really *meant* to be played with an N64 controller due to where the Z button is, but I guess it doesn't matter.
Anyway, the game is a auto-scrolling shooter akin to games like StarFox, however you're on foot. You character basically runs along the whole time, and shoots a gun, and when you come close to an enemy you can do a sword slash as a melee weapon.
The Voice Acting is really cheesy, and the game is *super SUPER SUPER SUPER* short. Like I'm talking you could probably go through the whole thing in a couple hours, easy.
I know it's going to be sold based on hype alone, but for all those thinking "IT'S THE BEST N64 GAME EVAR!!" are going to be sorely disappointed.
