I love Shiren the Wanderer DS. I'm not especially good at it, yet, but I also never played the popular fan-translation of the SNES version. If you want to read Shiren diaries written by a more advanced player for the SNES version, go here. Just bear in mind that some of the SNES tricks don't work now.
What I want to demonstrate here is Shiren's amazing depth. This is a game I expect to be playing, off and on, for the next year or two before I "beat" it, insofar as beating Shiren is possible. So I'm just going to recount what I do and accomplish on a single Shiren the Wanderer DS run, and ramble a bit about the game mechanics as I go.
While I have a DS screencap unit, it, uh, dislikes retail carts, so I do not have screencaps for you fine people. Sorry! When I do my inevitable Baroque diaries, I should be able to take actual screens.
Anyway, let's get started...
Mysterious Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer
I like to keep the pulse of our... howevermany readers we have. I'm pretty sure it's at least a dozen, possibly more. So if you're out there, chime in and let me know what Nintendo you're going to be playing to help usher out 2007 and bring in 2008?
Over here it's probably going to be playing catch-up on Super Mario Galaxy and spending more time with that copy of NiGHTs I got over the weekend. I've also got Tales of Symphonia to start, Shining Force to finish, and some imports I'm working on some nice detailed reviews of for all you happy people. I'm actually not playing much DS lately at all, and I'm not sure why, but I do want to finish off Orcs and Elves so I can post my post-mortem of it.
But enough about me-- what about you?
