Shiren the Wanderer Screens Plus Info

Shiren the Wanderer is a game that I have missed entirely and I feel bad about it. The game is about Shiren, who is given a key by his former master, who then has to solve a millennium old mystery and find out about a sleeping princess inside Karakuri Mansion.

With a feudal Japan setting, Shiren the Wanderer is a welcome addition to the Nintendo Wii family.

Check inside for screens and more information about the game.

Shiren the Wanderer is releasing in February 2010. Unfortunately, the Rescue, Versus, and Item Transfer online features will not be included in the North American release. Though the Japanese downloadable content will be included.

From the Press Release:

Epic adventure in feudal Japan — As the wandering samurai Shiren, you will explore a vision of historic Japan that is beautiful and vibrant. An epic story that begins 1000 years prior takes you through villages and dungeons and places you alongside figures straight out of Japanese mythology.

Variable challenge — A brand new easy mode lets even newcomers to the genre find a foothold while experienced players will find a more rigorous challenge in Normal mode. Post-game activities will test the most advanced gamer with additional quests, super dungeons, a tournament, and the “ultimate challenge”-the Millennium Dungeon, a pain-staking 1,000 floor dungeon crawl.

Challenging depth and strategy — Control your time in the dungeons down to the details. Choose direct control over your party members or take advantage of the excellent AI that lets you specify attitude and tendency. Power up equipment through the new Dragon Orb system, and imbue them with special abilities via more than 100 Seals. New Spells allow targeted casting of effects on enemies.
