Atlus announces Shiren the Wanderer for Wii - Page 3

Foobar · 10-13-2009, 09:33 PM

Well I found a copy of the DS game today and gave it a brief spin. I've actually not played any of the other Mystery Dungeon games, but it reflects the style of play I've read about in reviews for the others in the series. Feels like it belongs right next to Etrian Oddyessy and Dark Spire, so that's where I'm filing it on the shelf

Gonna get back to it later, I got a few other games I'm in the middle of that need finishing.

Only downer seems to be whatever servers they had up for Shiren are no longer up, so if I die, no one's coming for me over NWFC.

Pretty sure Nintendo handles all the servers so I doubt they'd let one "die". Rather I just think no one ever uses that feature. I know I don't. It's a good concept but terribly executed in a context where a) there aren't that many players b) even less that use the online and c) you DON'T WANT TO DIE.

I would expect that SEGA ran the server. I could see them shutting it down to cut costs, but it's more likely that nobody was online assuming you were able to connect.

I find roguelike and fpdc are significantly different, but they probably appeal to a lot of the same people.

Beautiful.

Yeah, I was reading about Shiren in NP (not as bad as the SJ preview in GI

) and it mentioned the dungeons being included on-disc. Gotta love Atlus!

I really hope Wi-Fi is still in!

Also, is it possible for Atlus to get Chunsoft to add in the bonus content that the PSP version is getting? The game's not due until mid-late spring I think so there's lots of time.

Looking forward to this. Any idea on a release date?

Hey now, that's pretty evil posting such a thing, either give a estimated date/hint when it may be released or don't reply at all to a post asking when it will come out.

What do you take pleasure in torturing us or something(you know very well we are dreading the wait as it is)?

I just pre-ordered. It looks to be artistically like Muramasa: The Demon Blade in RPG form.
