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 November 2000 exclusively in Japan; the game was also slated for release outside Japan, but was later canceled. Sin & Punishment features full English voice acting with Japanese subtitles, making it a more notable title on the platform.
Because of high fan demand, along with the prominent at the time upcoming appearance of protagonist Saki Amamiya in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Sin & Punishment was released overseas via the Wii's Virtual Console service in September 2007. In 2009/2010, almost a decade after the original release, the game would also receive a sequel: Sin & Punishment: Star Successor for the Wii.

Story
Sin & Punishment is set in the year 2007. Major population increases have lead to food shortages worldwide. In an effort to solve the problem, scientists developed artificial life to use as food, cultivating them in Hokkaido, Japan. Over time, however, the lifeforms mutated and began to attack, becoming known as "Ruffians". In response, the Armed Volunteers, an international peacekeeping army, were called to stop the Ruffians, but they also oppress the people of Japan. Another force referring to itself as the Savoir Group, lead by a woman named Achi and supported by two other members, Airan Jo and Saki Amamiya, set out to defeat both the Ruffians and the Armed Volunteers and save Japan.
