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 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.

Created by the legendary development studio Treasure, this is a game that hard-core gamers and fans of Japanese imports recognize as one of the finest Nintendo 64® titles to have never previously reached North American shores. Its unique combination of English voice-overs with Japanese subtitles (preserved in this version) has only added to the enthusiasm for its eventual release here. Experience the frenetic pace of a classic shooter, while choosing from a variety of options and a number of different skill levels until you are ready to take on the full-blown challenge of Turbo Hard mode. Not to be outdone by the action, however, the intriguing story line gives the game its soul and draws you even further into the mix. Set in the near future, on an overpopulated Earth starved for resources, players uncover the intriguing mystery of two teenagers (Saki and Airan) and their battle against the Ruffians as they advance through level after level of nonstop action. Take a deep breath, gather your energy, and prepare to see why this game is so highly praised!
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.
