Atlus Dishes Shiren The Wanderer
Today Atlus released some new content for the upcoming Wii RPG Shiren The Wanderer. At the top of this article, you'll see the final North American box art, and below, the first batch of English screenshots. There's also a blog that they've started that will offer up a look into the game, its storyline and whatnot. Unfortunately, Atlus has also confessed that three online features from the Japanese version of the game will not be making it Stateside.
"Despite our best efforts, the North American version of Shiren will not include the Rescue, Versus, or Item Transfer online features," stated Aram Jabbari, Manager of PR and Sales at Atlus. "However, the downloadable dungeon content from the Japanese version will be included on the disc. Without these subfeatures, Shiren is still a fantastic RPG, one we hope all gamers can experience and enjoy. Still, we understand that the absence of these features may influence some fans' decision to purchase the game, which is why we are bringing this to their attention as soon as possible."
If you're looking forward to playing as the wandering samurai Shiren and exploring a vision of historic Japan as you unravel the story of a mysterious sleeping princess and an ancient evil, you'll only have to wait until Shiren The Wanderer hits stores on February 9, 2010. (And on the plus side, Atlus has also added an "easy mode" so everyone can enjoy their RPG goodness, not just the hardcore Atlus Faithful!)

Looks cool ! Thanks Wootini!
I probably wouldn't have used any online modes anyway.
And the inclusion of an easy mode is appreaciated, since I read that the original game was reallly unforgiving.
I'll still have to hope for a European release of course.
