Apparently so says Gamestop :
http://www.ebgames.com/product.asp?product%5Fid=180471

The date of the release :
2/1/2008 (placeholder probably)

Let's hope it is really true and we see this game coming here.

Some pics for reminder :

Wow! Go Sega of America! Never would've thought they'd actually bring it over. Now do Sakura Taisen DS and Sangokushi Taisen DS.

Fantastic news, if true.

Japan loves this game. I see people playing it so much.

jrricky · Aug 9, 2007

Kid Marin · Aug 9, 2007

Great. Izuna was nice but this one looks so much better.

Pureauthor · Aug 9, 2007

Please be true!

Seconded. Also this game looks cool and the DS is definitely the right platform for a roguelike.

Greenpanda · Aug 9, 2007

wouldn't be the first time GameStop/EB has revealed a US release on their website!

Neat, if true

holy SHIT holy SHIT holy SHIT!!

KTallguy · Aug 9, 2007

Is Sega bringing it over themselves?

Night_Trekker · Aug 9, 2007

I read about this somewhere a while back but hot damn that looks pretty.

If they add new locations and items and such I will buy it for sure. I love love love love love this game.

DTJAAAAM · Aug 9, 2007

Damn it, I knew I should have waited a little longer before importing it.

Soul4ger · Aug 9, 2007

You know damn well that right now, someone at Sega is reading this and saying, "Wait, the response to this game is GOOD? Well, we're just gonna have to cancel an American release, we can't have that!" Fucking Sega.

Teasel · Aug 9, 2007

FUCK YEAH!

Emotions> you can remove the "?". GameStop is more than reliable.

Rummy Bunnz · Aug 9, 2007

YESSSSS

There's been so much good, surprising news lately. US Fire Pro, the DQ remakes, new Kunio-kun Dodgeball, US Power Pro, and now this. Someone out there likes me! And whoever it is should get to work on some new Cave home ports.

Aokage · Aug 9, 2007

Whoa. Respect to Sega, even if I would have translated it as "Shiren the Vagabond". I hope they use the lovely Akiman art for the cover.

Dragona Akehi · Aug 9, 2007

Whoa. Need to get this.

goldenticket · Aug 9, 2007

looks fun. it has the wi-fi thing on the box how does wi-fi play a part in the game?

BrokenFiction · Aug 9, 2007

Please let this be true. I have waiting

im

patiently. I have been good.

Stumpokapow · Aug 9, 2007

The best part about roguelikes getting US releases is the categorically awful reviews they get from poor journalists who know nothing about the genre, don't enjoy it, and are forced to write the review anyway.

Forgotten Ancient · Aug 9, 2007

Whoa...this looks good.

But...I'm scared by people calling it "rogue-like".

The only game I know of that I played that was considered "rogue-like"(even though I don't know what that means) was Pokemon Mystery Dungeon.

I could only play that game for about 10 minutes before getting really bored.

What are some other examples of rogue-likes (or what are they exactly)? I'd grab this on day 1 except for my mental connection to PMD.

Was that a blog describing the playthrough for the entire game?

I stopped reading really quick because it looked like it would spoil the whole thing.

it's not an entire playtrough but it goes pretty far and it spoils quite a bit so it's your choice to read it or not

IIRC there's some form of coop.

Hrm, the product page disappeared.

Maybe somebody screwed up? Or maybe GS just spilled the beans too early.
