Sin & Punishment 2 Japanese boxart. My apologies for the tiny packaging shot, but I think even at this size, the cover is killer. Now how terrible will the U.S. box turn out?

Notice the Japanese release date, October 26th, which I don’t think was announced before. Last I heard, this on-rails shooter was scheduled to ship in the U.S. and Europe sometime in the first quarter of 2010. Once again, Japan comes out on top.

Also squint your eyes at the blue circle, which indicates the game will have some Nintendo WiFi Connection support, though that doesn’t guarantee online multiplayer. Feel free to go wild and assume that’s exactly what it means. Just don’t complain to me when Nintendo  reveals the game will only have online leaderboards. I’ll hear none of it.

The cover features a subtitle that reads something like, Successor Of The Universe, which would make sense considering the original N64 Sin & Punishment subtitle was Successor of the Earth. It’s a shame the subtitle isn’t actually “Princes of the Universe”:

“I am immortal! I have inside me blood of kings! YEAH!!!”
