You truly stumbled upon a particular instance of a recreation that was meant to be localized and launched within the US, however the localization fell by means of. Sin and Punishment 64 was developed by Treasure and launched in 2000. Treasure already preferred utilizing English language for some video games – in addition they recorded Radiant Silvergun (1998) in English.
Treasure had deliberate for a western localization too – the Nintendo E3 2001 press package had a small part on N64 video games that talked about how Sin and Punishment was alleged to be proven (with an unknown future), however the localization and western launch sadly fell by means of – possible due partly to the decline of the N64 in recognition by then and Nintendo’s heavy push of the Gamecube as the subsequent massive factor.
Most of S&P64’s up to date video games have been primarily in Japanese. You would possibly discover some occasional use of English phrases in video games as particular transfer barks (e.g. preventing video games) nevertheless it’s truly fairly uncommon to seek out full English voiceover in Japanese video games that have been by no means supposed to go to western markets from the soar. Japan-only contemporaries like Mom 3, Policenauts, Hearth Emblem: Thracia 776, Sakura Wars 2, both did Japanese language audio or no voice appearing in any respect. In that regard, Sin and Punishment is a rarity!
