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.
