Dude I know! Golden Sun is one of my favorite RPGs, if not favorite games of all time! I loved the first two and am EXTREMELY excited for this new one! At least they kept most of the same cast too. It'll be awesome to see what new quest Isaac gets pulled into now :)
I know. I didn't even watch the Nintendo press conference (I watched the Microsoft and Sony ones) but this honestly trumps everything else from E3 for me... this is without a doubt best news of 2009 so far in my books.
My younger brother was like 12 when the first two came out. At the time he couldn't wait for the next. He stopped playing games in the last couple years but he heard about this announcement and went into the attic to dig up his DS.
IS THAT OFFICIAL ART? *SAVES* I HONESTLY HAVENT BEEN THIS EXCITED SINCE I SAW THE FIRST TRAILER FOR BRAWL, AND BEFORE THAT THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF GOLDEN SUN 2!

Yeah, but IT LOOKS FANTASTIC! THOSE SUMMONS WERE GEORGOUS!!!!
I had absolutely no idea that people loved this game so much. Played through a bit of the first and couldn't get into it. Enjoy it though guys. Nintendo didn't give much today but it gave you guys the game you wanted, so at least that's good.

Of course, not every one is going to love every game, but I see it as picking up where the final fantasy series left off after going to 3d, and adding the fantastic Djinn system and spells that affect progression
I've waited for so long I thought it wouldn't come

Same here. I didnt get my expectations up this year since i was so let down last year, but damn it they delivered. I cant wait to see more footage, and then get my hands on the thing

I honestly wasn't even expecting any news about Golden Sun, I pretty much thought the franchise would never come back, but this was a pleasant surprise.

" This was the best news out of the Nintendo conference. Is that the official art? Issac FTW "
Yes, this is official art. Unfortunately that is not actually Isaac, Garet, and Mia, apparently these characters are descendants of the original cast... obviously the main character is Isaac's son, and the other guy definitely looks like the son of Garet. I'm actually a little mixed on these not being the same characters because they look so similar, but there are some differences which confirm it is not them. For example, the eye colours do not match those of the original cast... Garet had brown eyes, and Mia had teal eyes, so those are not them, unfortunately.
Lucky jerk. I've been waiting 12 years for Duke Nukem Forever :(
So where's my victory blog post, huh? Oh yeah that's right, the game was frickin canceled!
So go on, enjoy your glory and excitement and bright gaming future. Just remember all the broken hearts you'll have to grind into the pavement as you walk there.

If it's any consolation, I've been waiting for that game too :(

Who knows, maybe (knock on wood) golden sun will be mared in development for 12 years.
Wow, really? You should have probably played some games in those 6 years, then you would discover Golden Sun is just ok. Nothing to get super excited about.

Ah, so its a new story with the sons and daughters of the first game. Looks like its here we go again. Not that I mind.

This was the only thing in Nintendo's dry boring press conference that I even cared about. I played the original Golden Sun way way too much. I must have filled up every save slot with completed files that had all the Djinn, and every character's best equipment. I played Golden Sun 2 not quite enough but it was still an amazing game nonetheless. This may have persuaded me to go out and get a DS when it comes out even though I have been staunchly opposed to getting one ever since it was released.
Mother can go fuck itself when it comes to Golden Sun. I'd like a mother compilation, but if i had to choose between this and that, Golden Sun would win every time
Never played the original Golden Sun games on the GBA but I heard they are great games and should check them out before I try this one out. This is great news for fans though and I am glad there is more Galaxy and Mario & Luigi.

It really depends on the person. You happen to be talking to systech.

Same here. I played a bit of the first one, but never got into it. But it's hard for me to get into any RPG like that.
