Usually with these niche and traditionally Japan-only titles, we spend the post complaining about missing out on another potentially great game, as we did with our last Shiren the Wanderer post. But with Sega's recent localization for the Shiren the Wanderer DS remake and with the Wii game's U.S.-friendly title -- Shiren the Wanderer 3: Karakuri Yashiki no Nemuri Hime (Shiren the Wanderer: The Sleeping Princess in the Clockwork Palace) -- this game has a relatively good chance of making it to the states!
The clip above is from the Wii game's opening movie, one of two videos posted at Sega's official Shiren the Wanderer site. It's got airships, the titular Clockwork Palace, and everyone's favorite white weasel, Koppa. The other video, a four-minute promotional trailer, has all that and shots exploring the roguelike's dungeons, including their new enemies. Take a diagonal step past the post break to watch it!

Yay, more Mysterious Dungeon games! I didn't get into the series until recently (as in, the English version of Shiren for the DS), but I went back and played several of the others, and I must say that the series is most excellent. Glad to see Asuka (the female warrior in the video) is back - her Mysterious Dungeon game on the Dreamcast (with the delightfully long name "Fushigi no Dungeon Fuurai no Shiren Gaiden Onna Kenshi Asuka Kenzan") was really, really good. It's one of the rarer RPGs for the Dreamcast, but if you like the series, by all means, seek it out.
I digress. New Shiren. Me happy. End.

Ya know the PC version of "Asuka Shiren" added several new dungeons and I think corrected some crash bug in the DC version.
