So Sin and punishment 2 will be heading to Wii! Which is a bit of a surprise, but not really. It wasn’t that long ago that Nintendo made the game available for the Virtual console. And once they did it became a huge hit. So I guess with that in mind a sequel was to be expected. It would also seem that Nintendo have also realized they can’t keep whoring Mario out in every sport known to man to sell first party titles, and that they’ve realized what we did yonks ago: That there are other Nintendo IP’s that deserve air time.

I really liked the original Sin and punishment, but it was bloody difficult. I hit a stage which robbed me of continues had me dying in seconds and this was on the easiest difficulty setting! I doubt I’ll ever complete the game at this rate - so I may as well look to the sequel. If Nintendo and Treasure co. decide to go Wii friendly, I imagine Sin and punishment 2 will feature unlimited continues and a super easy difficulty which actually makes the game beatable. But it would be kind of cool if they went 100% hardcore.

The graphics don’t look anything special, which is a shame. Because a bit of graphical sheen can go a long way. A few particle effects, more dynamic lighting and better quality textures would’ve been nice. But the game looks decent enough and if the core gameplay can be kept as tight as it was before - then it’ll be a solid game and worthy sequel.
