Sin & Punishment: Star Successor, released in Europe as Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Skies, and in Japan as Sin and Punishment: Sora no Kōkeisha (罪と罰 ～宇宙の後継者～ Tsumi to Batsu: Sora no Kōkeisha?, lit. "Sin and Punishment: Successor of the Universe") is a 2009 rail shooter video game for Wii developed by Treasure and published by Nintendo. It is the sequel to the Nintendo 64 video game Sin and Punishment.
Set many years after the first game, Star Successor focuses on Isa Jo, the son of Saki and Airan from the first game, and a mysterious young woman named Kachi. The game is compatible with Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, featuring online leaderboards. While the original game featured English voice acting in both the Japanese and English versions, the sequel has Japanese voice acting for the Japanese version, as well as the option to switch between Japanese and English voice acting in the non-Japanese versions.
Revealed at a Nintendo conference on October 2, 2008, it was released in Japan on October 29, 2009, in Europe on May 7, 2010, and in North America on June 27, 2010. Although Nintendo Australia never released the game physically, retailer JB Hi-Fi imported the UK version and began selling it on July 21, 2010.
In the January 2015 Nintendo Direct, it was announced that this game and other Wii games would be released for download through the Wii U's Nintendo eShop. It was released in Japan on March 25, 2015, in Europe on April 30, 2015, in Australia and New Zealand on May 1, 2015, and in North America on August 27, 2015, along with the original game on the Wii U Virtual Console.
