Sin and Punishment was one of the last Nintendo-published games released for the Nintendo 64. Its import-friendly nature (English voice overs and official English name) made it very popular outside of Japan, leading to the game's release on the Wii Virtual Console and a sequel.
Unused Staff Credits#
At offset 0x768484 in the ROM is an early set of the staff credits. Compared to the credits used in the final game, there are a few differences:
- The voice cast lists who voiced each character, with the exception of Isa's VA, who is only shown as "?????". The final version only lists the voice actors.
- The company Fontworks International Limited is not listed under "Special Thanks".
- The game is exclusively referred to as Project "GLASS SOLDIER", while the final version says THE ORIGINAL TITLE, GLASS SOLDIER.
- A version number, Ver 0.32 is shown; it is unknown what exactly this refers to.

Regional Differences#
The iQue version released in 2004 translated all the text to Chinese, including the title menu graphics and subtitles. Sin and Punishment was officially released in the West in 2007. The English Virtual Console release merely translated the menus, tutorial, and the credits, leaving all other Japanese text unaltered.
