Sega has posted some new screens of their Roguelike remake, Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer DS, and they look ... pretty. Even though we probably can't handle the actual game, we appreciate the Japan-centric setting (or really any setting that isn't Generic Medieval RPG Land). While the graphics look pretty much identical to the Super Famicom game (the backgrounds are completely identical), we think we can see subtle improvements in color and sprite definition. Or maybe we're imagining things.Chances are you won't be concentrating too much on the nice graphics, anyway, instead focusing entirely on staving off yet another death. We're curious to see how American gamers react to such an anachronistically hardcore game when it arrives in February.

Haven't played the SNES version, but I've seen the Game Center CX show featuring Chunsoft where they show a bit of footage (on GUBA?!). The DS version looks mostly the same, but it seems the sound and the staff waving animations have been enhanced.
I'm hoping the game gets a warm reception in the states, but who knows if people can handle the hardcore factor... Keep up the good work JC.
