E309 Media | Atlus Brings Shiren 3 to Wii in US on Nintendo gaming news, videos and discussion

Atlus U.S.A. today surprised everyone with the news that it has secured the North American publishing rights for Shiren the Wanderer, the critically-acclaimed roguelike RPG for Wii. As Shiren, a wandering adventurer with a penchant for exploration, monster-slaying, and item collection, you will trek across a beautiful and varied countryside with your companion, Koppa, a talking ferret. Randomly-generated areas, intense boss battles, extensive item customisation, and a cast of intriguing and unpredictable characters translate into one of the most satisfying RPG experiences of the year.


Exceptionally reviewed by famed Japanese gaming publication Famitsu (four reviewers giving three 9/10s and an 8/10, going on to sell over 100,000 units so far), this latest entry in the legendary series from SEGA and Chunsoft stands as one of the most addictive, highly rewarding, and endlessly replayable games available on Wii, not to mention the most accessible Shiren game yet.

Shiren the Wanderer is currently scheduled for release on Wii in Spring 2010.

First Monkey Island, now this?

Even if Europe doesn't get tacked onto the release list as well, at least they'll be an English version out there somewhere. Excellent news. Smilie

I'm currently playing Izuna 2 on DS and this is some great news indeed.
