the price is surely steep, but I m glad nintendo is experimenting with releasing Japan-only titles elsewhere. This could maybe let us get Custom Robo V1/V2 as well. I assume that a Western edition of Sin and Punishment was already in the works but didn't get published. Is this correct? The date that the Western conversion took place could possibly be inferred from the on-screen date shown at the start of the game. (something like 1999 (c) Nintendo)
An interview with a treasure developer did confirm that work on the U.S. version was done and completed but never released due to the decline of the 64 market in the west.
Zelda OoT is 1200 Points in Japan by the way. Japanese gamers are sure telling them they like such releases too. Sin & Punishment is currently Nr.1 of the popular VC downloads.
