Nintendo has released a new trailer for its on-rails shooter Sin & Punishment: Star Successor. Set in the near future, the game challenges you to speed across the landscape at dizzying speed while dispatching opponents with sword and gun.

Star Successor is the sequel to one of the N64’s worst kept secrets. Although the original game in the series was exclusive to Japan, it was later published on the Wii Virtual Console, raising its profile among western gamers. Both the original and the forthcoming sequel were developed by Treasure, the shoot ‘em up specialists responsible for Gunstar Heroes and Ikaruga.

The game supports an impressive array of control options, including the Wii Remote and Nunchuck, the Classic Controller, the Classic Controller Pro, the Wii Zapper and even the GameCube controller. Still, unless it supports the Dance Dance Revolution floor mat, I’ll not be satisfied.

Nintendo is yet to confirm a local release date for Sin and Punishment: The Star Successor.
