E3 09: Nintendo announces Golden Sun DS photo

One game I’ve always heard people rank pretty high on their DO WANT lists is a sequel to Camelot’s Game Boy Advance RPGs Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age. But since their developer, Camelot, has been busy working on golf games for the last few years, there’s been no word on this happening. Until now.

Moments ago at Nintendo’s E3 conference, Reggie announced that a new Golden Sun game would be coming out Spring of 2010 for the DS.  No other details were given, but the footage showed some 3D environments and dual screen summoning cutscenes. It looked good, and I’m sure this announcement will go a long way in convincing long-time fans that Nintendo doesn’t completely hate their guts.

Finally! I always really enjoyed the Golden Sun games for their puzzle elements. Sure, the story is generic and the battle system is basic RPG but the puzzles were always great. I wish more RPG's were willing to have fun with the Dungeons like Golden Sun and Paper Mario do.

Even though, deep in my soul, I realize taht this means that Camelot chose to develop this over Breath of Fire 6, it's still MOTHERFUCKING GOLDEN SUN DS. YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.

More great graphics, and awesome gameplay.... with horrific story and dialouge. I'll still check it out I remeber having quite a bit of fun with the first two, just hope the narrative is a little more interesting this time round.

FUCK YES!

When I saw the title of the post, I thought it was just a DS remake of the original. But then I saw this:

"Reggie announced that a new Golden Sun game"

There is a God after all.
