Sin & Punishment, 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 exclusively in Japan, despite it originally having a release date outside Japan, presumably due to the Nintendo 64 reaching the end of its lifetime. 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 prominent appearance of Saki Amamiya, one of the game's main character, in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Sin and Punishment was released in North America via the Wii's Virtual Console service in September 2007, worth 1200 Wii Points, making it the highest priced Virtual Console title. In 2009/2010, almost a decade after the original release, this game would receive a sequel: Sin and Punishment: Star Successor for the Wii.

Story

In the year 2007, in present day Japan, a vast population growth had led to an unfortunate amount of food shortages. In an effort to solve the problem, scientists develop artificial life that can be eaten by humans. A large group of these organisms are left somewhere in Hokkaido Japan. However, over time, the lifeforms adapted to attack humans, becoming known as "Ruffians". An international peace keeping organization from America, the Armed Volunteers, were sent to destroy the Ruffians, but also have a dislike for the Japanese. Another force, the Relief Group, or Savior Group; lead by a woman named Achi and supported by two other members, Airan Jo and Saki Amamiya; set out to defeat the Ruffians and the Armed Volunteers.
