Perhaps the most reassuring sign that Nintendo is serious about restoring some of the hardcore faithful's wavering confidence is the remake of a much loved RPG series last seen some six years ago.
Golden Sun was released in 2002 on the Game Boy Advance and since then anyone who played it has quietly pined for its near perfect blend of gorgeous looks and intelligent, refined gameplay which managed to keep the interest high for all of its 30-hour quest. Its sequel, The Lost Age, was released a year later, and while it was essentially a carbon copy of the original it was still highly regarded. Both were a throwback to the Japanese-style RPG's glory days on the SNES. So even though its announcement carried little fanfare and the shortest of trailers, ONM saw enough to be convinced that Golden Sun DS looks to be picking up exactly where The Lost Age left off.
Golden Sun, one of Nintendo's RPG series developed by Camelot, is still fantastic, and here's why it deserves a remake on Switch or Switch 2.
These are some of the best games I remember playing as a kid. We definitely need to see it come back!
I loved both on the GBA the one on DS not so much, here's a review of Golden Sun from IGN, 9.7 https://www.ign.com/article... "Camelot proves that the GBA can push out music and sounds that trounce the Super NES' capabilities" Best music from a GBA game, I think.
Fun games. I still have the old games and I’m all for a remake but I don’t know if they did well enough in Nintendo’s eyes for a remake or not. At least a collection would be nice.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The franchise celebrated its 20th anniversary yesterday without a peep from Nintendo and that’s a real shame because despite only being three games deep, this is one of the best-received RPG series out there. In short, it’s time for a new Golden Sun."
Yea good luck. Put this in the pile with f-zero, kid Icarus, wario land, etc. and label it the "wt are you waiting for" pile
I would love to play a new Wario Land but it will never happen 😭😭😭
hah, seriously, they are sitting on a goldmine of IP's that they dont want to do anything with.
This has been overdue since the gamecube era
Screen Rant Writes: The Nintendo Switch has seen record success for the company, and to keep the momentum going Nintendo needs to dig a little deeper in its catalog.
Golden Sun is a fantastic series. They should really continue it.
To say I miss Advanced Wars would be an understatement. Two of my top favorite series of the GBA.
I'd love to see a return of StarTropics. I don't think it will happen, but I'd welcome it.
Agreed. They have a deep catalog of dormant IPs that they could reinvent for the Switch.
Where the hell is Golden Sun? It's been 10 years. All Camelot's been doing are Mario sports games.
