Golden sun is on the 3ds?!

@ cloud - it's on DS, but 3DS is Backwards compatible so technically yes, it is on 3DS.

[maximus1985]

fire emblem on the 3ds was by far the best i played 2013 year. Im hoping for another

Bravely Default will arrive soon for 3DS.

Tales of Xillia and Ni no Kuni came out very recently for PS3.

Check 'em out.

[maximus1985]

tales of xilia was ok but the betrayals were annoying after awhile. nino kuni was ok but the story was not mature enough for my taste.

[knifefight]

Sounds more like you might just not like RPGs anymore.

Better yet, buy a Vita! it has the awesome Ys: Memories of Celceta and access to PS1 and PSP RPGs.

Most of the Vita's RPGs are still in Japan... They're not localizing them, and that's why there is a distinct lack of RPG goodness for the Vita right now. Though yes, Ys is a great game.

Buy a supercard DSTWO online. You can play snes, gba, ds, sega genesis, Nintendo, and other roms on your ds or 3ds. I've been rocking mine for almost 5 years and I use it every day.

Final Fantasy Tactics Advance 3 please

I love the Art style & color pallet of almost every GBA game.

Bright & vibrant, but with detail and unique character.

Golden Sun FTW!!! This game reminds me the classic 16-bit snes jrpg. I think its time for Camelot to give us a nice 3DS jrpg and to leave Mario Golf/Tennis games for other developer....

The 1st one was great, I enjoyed the 2nd even more, and the third was disappointing. They should've stuck with the 2D hand drawn style instead of the 3D style imo, the original style felt more mature visually and made for better looking environments (the DS just wasn't strong enough). Also didn't help it was super easy, the out of battle PP gain was set too high. To me it was an amateur effort far below its predecessors.

The series had a great blend of classic jrpg battle/item system and Zelda dungeon exploration. The music is top notch and I fell in love with the world. I can play "The Lost Age" again and again, it's just one of those games to me

[Geobros]

I totally agree with your post. When i was speaking for Golden Sun i was meaning the GBA games, the third one i didn't like it. I would like to see a 2D Golden Sun for the 3DS like Zelda ALBW style.

Zoids Legacy!

Final Fantasy Tactics advanced was crazy good, spent about 500+ hours on that bad boy.
