E3 10: Golden Sun: Dark Dawn rises this holiday  photo

Golden Sun was one of the best JRPGs for the Game Boy Advance, and a pretty great one all around. And now there's a Golden Sun game for the DS, newly subtitled as Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

It's pretty impressive from what's seen so far, and also a little bit traditional. Turn-based combat, towns, dungeons, and all those things people thought modern JRPGs were trying their best to kill off. There's a cool cell-shaded look about the whole thing, as well as some obligatory touch mechanics for puzzle-solving.

Expect to see it this holiday!

Oh yeah! I never finished the second game, but the first was one of two JRPGs that I finished. The other being Super Mario RPG. I'm definitely looking forward to this one!

Golden Sun series is my favorite RPG. Story, graphics, gameplay, everything is awesome. I'm probably going to buy a DS just for that.

Yes!!! Can't wait. Golden Sun and the The Lost Age were 2 of my favorite RPGs of all time!

Kind of disappointed that they seem to be abandoning the story of the first two games by jumping ahead a generation in time. GS2 sort of ended on a cliff-hanger. I wanted to know what happened...

Looks like Nintendo's really pushing this one. Here's hoping it finds the popularity it deserves.

Not a fan of the graphics, but I'll wait to judge.

More Golden Sun can only be a good thing.

Only bad thing is that I won't be able to play it until the holidays.

If only it were possible to transfer your data from GS2 to this game. A man can dream...

But regardless I am looking forward to this.
