Way back in the dark days when I wondered when Sin & Punishment 2 would release and how much of a push Nintendo would give it, there were a few people who said –

“What do you expect them to do for a niche title? Give it a television ad?”

That was fair game back then too, because there was zero chance of something like that happening. And yet, if you continue on after the break, you can catch the television spot reminding you that the game releases this Sunday.

Incredibly strange amazing days – if I actually see this on tv during the week my head might explode. Has there ever been an ad for a Treasure game on television before?

Also, touche Nintendo, touche – though you should have asked me for a quote for the spot too.

On the list of weekend surprises that go down in history, add Nintendo sending an email to remind me about the imminent arrival of Sin & Punishment 2 – Star Successor – June 27! Dig it!

The Big N even entitled the email “prepare to be punished,” but chances are many of you have the same email and I’m not telling you anything you don’t already know. Still, I’m elated to see the push for a long awaited Treasure title, including the game’s website, which you can check out here.

I’ve vehemently hated the wait for this release, but this is one hell of a sweet game to get just as the E3 buzz is calming down.
