For those who missed it the conference...

Thanks, for some reason I was asleep during the conference (though apparently this is the only thing I missed that I was interested in, so I don't really care).

But they're going for 3D now? Meh, that's kinda disappointing considering Golden Sun 1 and 2 were pretty much the best looking 2D RPGs ever, and they could've made it look even better on the DS.

Either way, I'm immensely excited for this game as the original Golden Sun was one of my first RPGs and remains one of my favorites. Finally after like a dozen hoaxes, Golden Sun DS is actually happening.

From what I have read, the game at E3 is mostly just a preliminary tech demo.  I also read that early work from Camelot always looks much different from their final product releases.

I agree, the fact that the game is coming is amazing!

I'm pumped for this game; however, I was 14 when the first one came out, and I haven't had a handheld since that original GBA. 

if you still play games (I imagine you do since you're around), the DS is a good system to have. Plenty of gameplay variety. If you're interested in Golden Sun, there are plenty of other worthy JRPGs on the system for example. The DS does't lack anything, plenty of mainstream and plenty niche titles as well. It's really got not just "something" but a lot of stuff for everyone, imo.

Yeah, I play games frequently, though since college I've been leaning more on PC and my PS3. I had my Wii here for a while. Super Smash Brothers Brawl literally destroyed an entire semester for my friends and I. It was a rough patch for all of us, and we ended up playing that game so much it bordered on addictive medicine. 

Golden Sun was the only RPG that I completed fully. It was the only game where I felt compelled to get everything there was to get so I will deifnitely buy the third installment of the series.

Ive never actually play Golden Sun, whats so good about it? Since I dont have any love for the Golden Sun games the trailer to me looks like just another jRPG on my DS, but ive already own 2 im playing through and ive got so many more to even buy (and a lot of them are old and therefore cheap).

So can someone tell me why it was so good?

It was a good JRPG. What JRPG you consider good and why? Story, pace, characters, exploration, combat. People like that. Mostly in 2 than 1. This is 3 so can be even better. The graphics show a lot of effort. It's also from Camelot. Camelot made other grand games. Shining Force 3.
