Is a used Sin and Punishment for N64 worth it for $52?

[equest943]

Just thought I'd ask and find out information from anyone who has played it or owns it themselves. This is also probably without a box or manual.

[dyreschlock]

Personally, I don't think that its worth that much. Especially without the box and instruction booklet.

I ended up buying Sin and Punishment for about $60 on ebay, which came with a converter to play import n64 games, and a torn up box.. (actually, i bought a second copy of the game when i was in Japan).. and I never really played it that much. Unfortunately, i forgot how much i hated the n64 controller and blurry slow graphics :/

It seemed really fun though.

I don't think it's worth much more than $30.. I could probably sell you my copy for $30 shipped (game + box), but it'll take me a while to get back to my parents house to obtain it. (hopefully by the end of July)

I don't see what the hype was about. I actually found the game to be incredibly bland. There are better N64 imports. Cheaper ones too.

How much did you find it for in Japan? I got a basically mint copy for $25 or so over there a couple years back. I still haven't played mine. I've been playing a lot of N64, PSone, and SNES games while my 360's in the shop, so I probably wouldn't be as annoyed by its archaic aspects as you were.

Yes Sin and Punishment is worth alot and I would buy it at that price if I had the chance to. At the same time If your not sure of anything don't buy it.

[leveskikesko]

It's a good game, but definatley not worthy of that price.

Wait until it's 10 dollars on Virtual Console (Wii).

[Loyaltist Shinra]

The game is worthy of that price. Waiting another ten years to buy a Wii and pay $10 for this game is nuts. Trust me if you want this game and it cost $9000 dollars then get it otherwise if you just want to play then download it right now.

However if your have never played a real N64 then don't buy this. The game is spectacular and breath taking and is worth the pennies.

LMAO, you're *already* wrong. A Japanese-only verson of Lode Runner was released in the US, a PC Engine game.

[Chuplayer]

Is it worth it? Three words: AIRCRAFT CARRIER LEVEL.

But I would try to find a copy that has the manual and box first.

Not too expensive. 1980yen. I even took a picture.

Gawd, do I miss Geo. Every one I went into I found something worth buying.

[Loyaltist Shinra]

That is around $30 with shipping plus shipping materials. It's still worth it. The only reason it is low in Japan is that it is common.

When you carry it back with you to the USA. You might be charged a fee for carrying it back to States.

Also think about for the Western seller and the profit they are trying to make with the sale of the item.

While we're on the subject of imports, I've been looking for YEARS for the unreleased in the United States Bomberman 64. It's unrelated to the Bomberman 64 that came out in the United States, it's a traditional 2D Bomberman that was the last N64 game released ever.

If anyone can give me a hand with it, I would be so greatful. Check out my game collection. I'll give up pretty much anything that isn't on a Nintendo machine (with the exception of Sega Dreamcast). If the trade or price is reasonable, I want to hear you out.

Anyone that can find that for me, you will be forever my hero.

[dyreschlock]

damn.. i had no idea this game existed. I'll definitely keep a look-out for it next time i find myself in Japan. Unfortunately, that won't be anytime this year :/ hopefully i'll remember of this by the time i get over there.

Finally busted out my copy of Sin & Punishment. It's pretty darn cool. Took me a while to just jump in and figure out what I was doing, as it's sort of Killer 7-esque control: Rail-like movement, free aiming control. I played through several levels, and really enjoyed it. I never knew the VO was in English, either.
