I can't believe they release a new Shiren game only 10 months after Shiren 4. I will surely go for this one, too, but I didn't finish the "Final Puzzle" of Shiren 4 yet!!!
Great news!!!!

Day/night cycles are back again, and the ability to raise weapons and shields with monster's experience is back too!!
I like the new dungeon's style.

Skip to 7:03 for a trailer
Skip to 15:34 for a live demonstration of the game

Shiren 5 on the show floor: (Skip to 0:46)

The demonstration shows some interesting things.

Using the cursor to scout out a room.
What seems to be a melding jar enemy.
Rooms with shifting tiles.

(At least those are the things I noticed, could be other things I didn't pick up on)

Melding Jar enemies started to appear from Shiren DS 2 (though in shiren wii and shiren 4 the melding system was polyshed).

You could scout the room with the cursor in Shiren 4 too, and the changing floors were also in that game (but maybe in SHiren 5 this will be improved...)

It's good they keep those interesting gameplay aspects.

Ah, didn't know those were in previous games. Interesting.

Man I wish they'd bring 2, 4, and then 5 outside of Japan. >_<
