Shiren 5 DS:Development Oversights

Development Oversights entail spelling errors, translation errors, bugs, glitches, and other aspects of unintended gameplay. This page covers Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer 5: The Tower of Fortune and the Dice of Fate for the Nintendo DS.

Known Bugs & Glitches

• While on a theft, reading a Template:Shiren5 will spawn a non-aggressive VIP Shopkeeper wandering around. It isn't possible to talk to him, but if you attack him in any way, he will start to attack you.
• It seems that the more complete the Item Book is, the slower the game runs for certain actions:
  • Opening an item's description will take longer (approximately 4 or 5 seconds)
  • Some of these item descriptions get completely unreadable, this includes:
    • Other Items descriptions, like Gitan or Catstones
    • The Template:Shiren5 and Dodger Pot
    • The Template:Shiren5
  • Trying to read something on the Status menu will crash the game for some reason
    • This is also true when trying to host a multiplayer game or the Hints menu, as well as explanations for some effects (like the Dodger Pot's effect)
  • The inventory takes a little longer to show up when you have new items on hand
  • Animations on the New Item book run incredibly slow
  • Animations on the Monster Book run a little slower too
  • This seems to affect both save files
• Sometimes when putting the console on Sleep mode and opening it again, the button controls won't respond for a while; the only way to control the game during this time is by using the Touch Screen.
