Product Introduction
The dungeon RPG "Shiren the Wanderer" is now available on the DS. Based on the popular Super Famicom version, this is a powered-up remake. Various new elements have been added, including dungeons, items, events, and monsters. Even if you fall deep within a dungeon, you can request rescue from "wanderers" across the country via Wi-Fi communication. The game is easier to play thanks to the unique features of the Nintendo DS.

When you gaze into the dark abyss, something gazes back from the other side. Have you taken a deep breath? Are you ready? Continue to delve deeper and deeper into the labyrinth. The thrill of starting over if you fall once. That's why every step is heavy. It takes courage to move forward. Losing all your weapons and levels, you start from the beginning.
This is the Nintendo DS version of "Shiren the Wanderer." If you ask what's new, I'd confidently say "the same as always." Well, of course, there are many small new things. You can return to previous floors, encounter new companions, events, tools, and monsters... yet the feel is just as familiar as in past masterpieces. That's what's so great about it.
Even if you fall in a deep cave, you can call for rescue via Wi-Fi, and someone, somewhere, will come to your aid. When the message "X number of wanderers are on their way to help" appears, you can't help but clasp your hands together and say, "Thank you, strangers."
Ah, a fresh experience of feeling human warmth through a game. This is surely proof of its masterpiece status. Take a deep breath, prepare yourself, and dive in again today. To the distant, deep abyss. Forever and ever.
