Best game released for the GBA together with its sequel. Nintendo totally missed the chance to make this an ongoing success story for the ds /3ds and consoles as well.

Maybe Nintendo will use today's release of Golden Sun 1&2 on NSOnline to drum up interest in the series again. I loved part 1 back in the day, only ever got a handful of hours into part 2 and never really heard many people talk about part 3 on DS. Sounds like the series kind of went out on a whimper.

But, jrpgs are more popular than ever now and Nintendo already showed they could turn Xenoblade Chronicles into a huge selling success. Golden Sun would be the perfect way to add another jrpg to their 1st party arsenal, if they can reignite the series with a bangout new entry.

There's certainly not a lot to play on NSOnline, so now's the time for it to shine in front of a new audience while pleasing us oldschool gamers.

Absolutely agreeing ^^

To make a little joke..Golden Sun is kinda..Nintendos The Legend of Dragoon or Microsofts Blue Dragon or Square Enix Xenogears

@Terry_B and Level5/Sony's Dark Cloud!

Man, you've got me salivating at the idea of any one of these getting a proper sequel!

Been sitting here all morning playing Golden Sun for the first time in 15 or so years. So good still like a warm, fuzzy nostalgic blanket! Especially in this winter cold and a nice hot coffee. 🥰

This is kind of unacceptable for what they charge us and their aggressive action against Emulator and ROM providers. Their emulation should be Top.

i absolutely agree on the radical take downs. if you do that, everything needs to be perfect

_SilverHawk_3d ago

"This is kind of unacceptable" . that sort of language is why Nintendo does the bare minimum.

This is totally unacceptable along with a multitude of other things Nintendo gets away with but fanatics give so much grace to Nintendo. The silliness will continue and a lot of fanatics will make excuses. I can't wait to see what they do with the switch 2

Maybe Nintendo needs to hire the people they take to court for emulation when those people do a better job with giving emulated versions of their games.

The potato release schedule also leaves much to be desired.

I know there's a need to seperate these games in Japan but I wonder why they carried it over I'm honestly not a fan that all the games are not in one place but I get that the parental controls can't Work with individual games on NSO so maybe that's it

gold_drake3d ago

how many ... mature games did Nintendo have tho? i can only think of a few.

quick google search told me 28 games in total.

alot of them are southpark and turok
