I'll be keeping an eye out for the eventual price drop to $29 or lower. I'll pick it up then. I just have way too many games to play.

It's possible, but I wouldn't count on it in this case - this actually looks to me like one of those games that are coming out with very few copies, and so will simply quickly disappear (and the few copies left will cost more, not less). Just yesterday (its publishing date) Amazon showed it as "usually shipping in 1 to 2 months". Now it shows it will be in stock February 12th - all these are indications of very low stock.

But I know what you mean, I myself have lots of games I bought and haven't played yet

Yeah, I'm interested in it since the trailer. Looks fun, and I haven't played those kind of RPG, seems a good one to start.

Gamepro review in:

4/5 stars - "Shiren the Wanderer is an addictive and well-constructed roguelike from Atlus with a plethora of dungeons to conquer and a wide assortment of bosses. Reviewer Alicia Ashby walked away impressed for the most part, but was a little upset by Shiren's similarities to previous Mystery Dungeon and lack of an online component.
.....
It's simple enough to pick up at first but grows challenging enough over time to be completely absorbing. At high levels, playing Shiren is a bit like Demon's Souls -- impossible tasks slowly become manageable and then trivial as your skill increases. Shiren the Wanderer is a hard game to put down once you've gotten into its one-more-turn rhythm, which is exactly as it should be" - http://www.gamepro.com/article/reviews/213933/shiren-the-wanderer/

Sounds good. I had much fun with the other rogue likes on Wii. (Baroque and Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo's Dungeon.) However, I would be intrested, if someone plans to release it in Europe. (Couldn't find any inormations ...)

"Pier was a chef, a gifted and respected chef who made millions selling his dishes to the residents of New York City and Boston, he even had a famous jingle playing in those cities that everyone knew by heart. He also had a restaurant in Los Angeles, but not expecting LA to have such a massive population he only used his name on that restaurant and left it to his least capable and cheapest chefs. While his New York restaurant sold kobe beef for $100 and his Boston restaurant sold lobster for $50, his LA restaurant sold cheap hotdogs for $30. Initially these hot dogs sold fairly well because residents of los angeles were starving for good food and hoped that the famous name would denote a high quality, but most were disappointed with what they ate. Seeing the success of his cheap hot dogs in LA, Pier thought "why bother giving Los Angeles quality meats when I can oversell them on cheap hotdogs forever, and since I don't care about the product anyways, why bother advertising them? So Pier continued to only sell cheap hotdogs in LA and was surprised to see that they no longer sold. Pier's conclusion? Residents of Los Angeles don't like food."

"The so-called "hardcore" gamer is a marketing brainwashed, innovation shunting, self-righteous idiot who pays videogame makers far too much money than what is delivered."

I really want this game. These reviews scores solidify what I was planning to do before, and that was get it if it was good.

I just hope I can actually find it.

Has your friend played this specific game? Or is he just generally familiar with the series?
