The following is a list of video games in the Mystery Dungeon: Shiren the Wanderer (series).
Naming and Numbering[edit | edit source]
The naming and numbering convention of Shiren games is complex due to the fact that the company has made many games, all derived upon and building upon the "Mystery Dungeon" roguelike framework, on various platforms and localized for various markets over the course of decades. For example, what players today call "Shiren 1", the first game featuring the character Shiren, was in fact originally called "Mystery Dungeon 2", as it was the second game using the "Mystery Dungeon" framework after Torneko's Great Adventure: Mystery Dungeon; the indirect prequel "Mystery Dungeon" game. Some games were apparently numbered based on their original release platform plus their release sequence on that platform, while others originally had unique titles with no numbers. Then, over the course of time, some but not all of these games were ported to other platforms or localized into English and sold in other markets often under a new name, as the original name or number would not have made much sense in the new market. Games that were released in English were often released many years after their initial Japanese releases, even though one or more newer games in the series had already been released in Japan in the intervening period. Games that were re-released on other platforms also sometimes included additional content that was not part of the first release, or that was optional downloadable content for the first release. Fortunately for the English-speaking audience, the company seems to have bundled all DLC whenever they have localized a game into English.
The name and numbering convention is so complex that English-speaking fans of the series usually use shorthand names / nicknames for the games in the series. Unfortunately, there is no single canonical short name for each game used by all players as different audiences favored different short names based on which release or re-release they were playing.

Regional Releases[edit | edit source]
To date, only three Shiren the Wanderer games have been officially localized into English. Note that none of the English titles uses the same numbering system as the original Japanese titles did. But lack of officially localized releases has not stopped some hardcore English-speaking fans of the series from playing other games in the series, either via imported games and struggling to play in a foreign language or via hacks, mods, and player translations. Consequently, this site has more complete information for games that were officially released in English but also has content for other games in the series as well.
