A beautiful, atmospheric trailer (after the break) introduces us to the story of the new Shiren the Wanderer … such as it is. Basically, Shiren’s master, knowing that Shiren likes dungeons, gives him the key to the Karakuri Mansion, which is a big dungeon. There’s more, like a cursed princess and some time travel stuff, but the essence is that Shiren goes into another dungeon. It’s rather lucky for us that Shiren’s wanderings are so often directed toward dungeons and dungeon-type environments.
Atlus also highlights Shiren’s pal Koppa in the trailer, allowing us to hope that the company will choose to bundle the game with Sega’s Koppa Wiimote stand.

Atlus announced a North American localization of Sega and Chunsoft’s Shiren the Wanderer at E3, and hasn’t said much about it until now. The company just dated the game for February 9 and released a bunch of screens & art for the punishing roguelike, along with a bit of sad news regarding the online connectivity.
“Despite our best efforts, the North American version of Shiren will not include the Rescue, Versus, or Item Transfer online features,” Atlus’s Aram Jabbari said in the announcement. “However, the downloadable dungeon content from the Japanese version will be included on the disc.” Jabbari said that Atlus felt compelled to alert fans because “the absence of these features may influence some fans’ decision to purchase the game.”
The most identifiable feature of any Shiren game — repeated, unavoidable death — should remain intact.

Pokémon addicts starting to get antsy about when they’ll be able to satisfy their pathological need to purchase new Pokémon games just need to hold out for a few more months. Nintendo has announced an October 12 release date for the latest in the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series, Explorers of Sky, in North America.
Explorers of Sky is an updated version of Explorers of Time and Darkness, with new starter critters and new “Special Episode” missions that reveal more about the Pokémon characters in the game. Explorers of Sky also includes new wireless features, including the ability to share a “demo dungeon” and trade items locally.

Surprise! The WiiWare Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, first revealed in a McDonalds-distribted flyer, are real, and are headed for Japan on August 4. Players will be able to share save data throughout all three games, so they can level up a persistent team.
The three games (Advance! Fire Adventure Team, Go! Storm Adventure Team, and Aim! Light Adventure Team!) each feature a different set of starting Pokemans. And in this game, your team can cooperate even more than in other Pokemon games, by piling up and attacking enemies simultaneously. The WiiWare game also features the “rescue” ability found in recent Shiren the Wanderer games, in which friends can revive your team over the Wi-Fi Connection.
After the break, we’ve embedded a trailer that details these features — and shows off the adorable little Pokemon.
