Shiren the Wanderer DS coming to the U.S., for real this time

Soon after we spotted Shiren the Wanderer DS on GameStop's online store, it disappeared. We thought that maybe GameStop was trying to make us look like lying jerks, or that maybe one of their employees was trying to will a localized version into existence.

Well, that fictional employee's totally-made-up plan worked, because Sega announced that Shiren the Wanderer DS will be released in America in 2008. This is the same kind of Mysterious Dungeon gameplay seen in Izuna and the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games, only more brutal. It seems like the perfect handheld game to occupy thousands and thousands of hours. Or, in our case, fifteen agonizingly frustrating minutes.

I'd much rather have a GROO the Wanderer DS game.

Wonder if Sergio & Mark would ever consider it?

Nobody listen to those two losers. Shiren puts Izuna and Pokemon Mystery Dungeon to shame. This is a good game, and it's about damn time it came state-side!
