[[Sin and Punishment]], (罪と罰～地球の継承者 literally ''Sin and Punishment: Successor to the Earth'') originally titled, ''Glass Soldier'', is an on-rail shooter game for the [[Nintendo 64]] developed by [[Treasure]] and Published by [[Nintendo]]. The game was first released in 2000 as a Japan exclusive, despite it originally having a release date outside Japan. (Probably due to the fact 2000 was towards the end of the Nintendo 64 lifespan). Sin and Punishment featured a combination of Japanese text and English Voice Acting during in-game, making it a more notable title on the platform. Because of high fan requests, along with the appearance of Saki Amamiya in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]], Sin and Punishment was released in North America via the [[Wii]]'s [[Virtual Console]] function in September 2007, worth 1200 [[Wii Points]], making it the highest priced Virtual Console title.
