The game I'm really dying to play right now is Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer for DS, which hits March 4th. Here's a Siliconera interview with the English language producer, Keith Dwyer to help you get psyched up, too... and explain the NA version's terrible, terrible boxart.

Speaking of tweaks the box art gives Shiren a different feel. ... He looks like a fierce warrior on the US box. Why the change?

Sometimes packaging needs to be revisited to communicate new features the game has, or to be appropriate for different market segments. With Shiren, we had a few things to consider; we had to create art that resonated with gamers in the US, but it also had to convey the new edge of this revamped version. ... It's a tough journey, and we wanted to portray that.

I appreciate good intentions, but to me you primarily portrayed "We hired a guy who can't draw very well."
