Along with the NA TV Spot, Nintendo of America has pushed the advertising for S&P2 a bit further. Website advertisements such as the ones above can now be spotted across various websites. Who knew Nintendo of America would push Sin & Punishment 2 so far? Well done, guys! Even though the game might not be a big seller, Ninty is giving it a chance.

You know, I’m actually surprised Nintendo of America is showing a commercial for S&P. Oh well, can’t complain!

S&P2 Developer’s Voice video on UK NC; glimpses of concept art

tce8 — Fri, 21 May 2010 21:29:51 +0000

This is essentially the Iwata Asks in video form, sans Iwata, but plus some glimpses of unforeseen concept art. Such as the original designs for Isa and Kachi…

Goodness gracious.

Gamestop Online Pre-order Bonus

For those of you who aren’t satisfied with the included 500 Nintendo Points card, online customers who order the game online will get a rather nice S&P poster sent with their game:

Not a bad poster overall, but I was kind of expecting it to feature that amazing cover that Nintendo of America was so kind enough to give us. Oh well, I think I’ll be ordering my copy online despite that.

All S&P2 English cutscenes on YT; actually not that bad

tce8 — Sun, 09 May 2010 05:47:37 +0000

Yeah, OK, I’ll shut up now. Obvious spoilers ahead.

Hit the jump for more.

Notice that they’ve added and enhanced some effects/scene transitions. Heck, in some places the Japanese version looks unfinished by comparison!

And the voice acting isn’t as woefully terrible as I previously lamented (apart from Chenglong Lee Orion Tsang, who still sounds like an I.M.Meen wannabe).

S&P2 Challenge Videos added, horrible voice acting

tce8 — Wed, 28 Apr 2010 17:19:50 +0000

S&P2 European website updated with Challenge Videos. Be warned, some of the voice acting is just f***ing atrocious.

Not even kidding.

I don’t know how they did it, but they managed to make it WORSE than the original S&P’s voice acting. Chenglong Lee sounds like an I. M. Meen wannabe (I’m not joking, someone shoot me now).
