Some new info has developed concerning Furai No Shiren 3:Sleeping Beauty of the Trick Mansion. It appears that early in the story Asuka, a female warrior wielding a naginata, and Sensé, Shiren’s fencing instructor, will join up with Shiren. From there the team decides to test their talent by attempting to take on the fabled Trick Mansion.

On the way the team’s path is blocked by a group of 4 demons. The leader (that big red guy) is a Tengu named Owashi. It appears that Shiren and Co. aren’t the only ones after the legendary treasure waiting within the mansion walls. Owashi and his gang of demons are one of many obstacle the party must overcome on their way to the mansion |
There will be a world map system in Furai No Shiren 3, unlike its predecessors. The map looks like an ancient ink brush painting, and reminds me of the world map used in the upcoming Izuna 2: The Unemployed Ninja Returns. The player starts at the base of Horai mountain, and from there can branch out to different dungeons and towns.
| One new type of dungeon is the Where-ever Dungeon. The player can bring items, money, and allies in. Likewise, all items and money the player finds within the dungeon can be retained afterwards. The only catch is that when Shiren (or anyone else) enters, his level becomes one. It isn’t permanent however, after completing the dungeon the player’s level will be restored. |  |
I still am not sure what benefit this type of dungeon provides. If dying in the Where-ever Dungeon has no effect on the players level or items, than it is without a doubt a great addition, but that seems unlikely. My guess is that if the player dies within the Where-ever Dungeon, he/she loses all acquired items and money, but receives no level punishment–a fair trade off I believe.
If you have never heard of the series and would like to give it a try, you can purchase Furai no Shiren 2 for $29.99 for the Nintendo DS here
