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. 🥰
