This game cannot come out soon enough - GS 1 & 2 were LEGENDARY - Frankly, I think they did for me what FF7 did for other gamers. Just fantastic games, and I'm totally pumped for a new game in that world.

I'm going to guess you can't port your characters from part II.

Part of me wishes a company will make a high production 2-D j-rpg as opposed to these whimsical super-deformed 3-d ones.

Yeah I'd agree I'd rather just have a straight up 2D version rather than weird 2.5, but still cool.

Holy shit! After all my ranting over these past several years Nintendo finally delivers. Can't say I like the 3-D look but fuck it. Finally the return of my favorite franchise from the GBA. Yes!

Never really got into the first game and this doesn't look like it will change my mind. Summon animations looked nice though.

I cannot say how happy I am that this game FINALLY is coming out. Been teased by it for so long and I really loved the Golden Sun series on the GBA.

Finally a reason to dust off my DS! I'll be picking this one up the day it comes out. I just wonder how well Golden Sun will hold up to today's standards since it's been a while.

This reminds me that I never played the second one, I had the MASSIVE password written down and everything :(. 
 
I loved the first one, at the time I hadn't played a lot of rpgs and this was even portable, ah the memories. Also "MIND READ!"
Edit: oh and about the trailer, Love the music, 3D doesn't look good though and would have personally prefered it if it was all 2D overhead like the first two, just with sharper sprites. Oh well.

EditEdit: On closer inspection it does look better than like the FF4 Remake and it seems like the character is a little cel-shaded so maybe it's not so bad.

Not a huge fan of Golden Sun, but I'm sure people who care are happy.

Very glad that they brought Golden Sun back.  I didn't figure that they ever would.

@ahoodedfigure: True (GBA R.I.P), but i guess that means it's going to be a whole new story. I mean the way the last "two" (which was really one game in two parts) wrapped up all the story elements at the end doesn't warrant a true seqeul, maybe its reboot?
