Bear with the poor review... My browser crashed while typing up the original. Also, I can't really find a link to give the game justice.

Shiren is a roguelike game for DS. It's going for like 5 dollars used now, and is a good investment if you have a DS and travel. If you have a backup copy, you can rescue your own characters.

Unique Features:
*Rescue System: A dead character can be rescued(Or not... Who rescues the rescuer?) via wifi or password 3 times before the game wipes itself.
*Persistent "Warehouses" across deaths
*NPC companions/sidequests that advance across death
*Zany monster abilities(Leading to bizarre deaths i.e.: Turn the PC into a riceball, who then hits a spoiling trap and instadies)
*Roguelike "Puzzle" levels- Very good tutorials, teaches game basics as well as super advanced tricks(Such as the knockback/switch place staff technique for crossing water)
*A talking weasel

Shiren is a roguelike game for DS SNES.

So close, though. Well, not really.

That being said, Shiren's pretty solid for a mystery dungeon game. Dunno how the DS works it, but the original's definitely worth a gander and a few rounds. It's not terribly hard as roguelike stuff goes, either. Probably only take a handful of deaths to get the hang of it, instead of several hundred

I always thought it was a talking ferret. Either way, it's an awesome game on the DS.
