We're aware that we write about the
Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer games much too much, especially considering that it's a niche series representing such a hardcore genre. But after playing
Shiren the Wanderer DS,
Chunsoft's remake of the original Super Famicom game and the first
Shiren game brought stateside, it's hard for us to think of anything else but the other five
Shiren titles that've yet to touch soil outside of Japan.
Chunsoft's recent announcement for
Shiren the Wanderer DS 2, another remake, this time porting
Furai no Shiren GB2: Sabaku no Majou (
Shiren the Wanderer GB2: Demon Castle in the Desert), originally a Game Boy Color title, has only stoked the flames of our yearning. Though it's reckless to assume
Sega will eventually localize the game as it did with the SFC remake, we've thrown caution to the wind, blinded by our optimistic heart's promises.
With that explained, hopefully you'll forgive us for featuring another piece on roguelike commercials less than two months after our installment on
Pokemon Mystery Dungeon ads. Bring your talking weasel past the post break for two Japanese commercials from
Shiren the Wanderer GB2's original 2005 release.
