Wii Preview: Shiren's Dungeon 3

At one of the more elaborate Disney-esque demo areas in the Sega booth at TGS, an old Japanese favorite makes its big return on the Wii. Shiren the Wanderer marks the third game in the classic dungeon crawling RPG series that was one of the original Rogue-likes. Those unfamiliar with the style may wonder how such a simple game idea ever became a trend, but fans know all too well how quickly this sort of game can consume the hours. And while this Wii version isn't currently slated for an American release, 1up checked it out to see what all the buzz was about because a DS version does appear to be headed to the US.
