Don’t worry, Atlus might be known for its propensity for importing Japanese cruelty (alonside Shin Megami Tensei games), but they promise that THIS time, with the February 10 release of Shiren the Wanderer for Wii, you won’t be totally broken.
Atlus first official blog post reveals that despite being a self-professed roguelike (the sort of dungeon-crawler game that ganks all your items when you die), Shiren the Wanderer contains a lot goodness that fans of Shin Megami Tensei and more story-driven JRPGs crave.
The game boasts a huge monster list, huge customization system, three playable characters, and a plot spanning a thousand years. But fans of frustration shouldn’t worry, for Project Lead Scott Strichard had this to say:
You veteran dungeon divers who prefer that games come just short of leaping out of the TV and stabbing you’ve gotta be wondering what Shiren has in store for you. Well, you haven’t been forgotten. How does a 1,000 floor dungeon crawl sound? No, that’s not an extra 0. One. Thousand. Floors.
A floor for every year in the story! It must be good!

You wouldn’t know it by looking at my credit card bills, but I have never been a member of GameFly. I’ve, however, racked up a bunch of meager transactions over the years whenever they try to pawn off their excess videogames with crazy sales.
Today is another one of those days where GameFly wants the garbage games out of its sight. Quite a few Xbox 360 and Wii titles were marked down to prices below $10, and hold on a second — some of them aren’t half bad. Heck, some are even good.
A few that caught my eye were Ninja Gaiden II, Mercenaries 2, Pure, and Far Cry 2. All of those are $9.99 shipped. And if drunken hobo fights bring you entertainment — they’re my specialty — Condemned 2 is worth grabbing at $6.99.
Remember these are pre-played games. With that said, out of the numerous purchases I’ve made from GameFly, not once have I had any issues crop up. I’d also urge fellow bargain hunters to look at their other wares; you’d be surprised how low these prices tend to be.
Yes, I do realize this post reads like an infomercial. Is my check in the mail, guys?
