[@NinjaDaisuke]

This is gonna be the closest we are gonna get for a Golden Sun Collection. I'm so happy Nintendo did not forget this IP but seriously Nintendo let Camelot stop making Mario Tennis/Golf and let them Remake or Reboot the Franchise we all love, or make a proper sequel (Golden Sun 4) with the orginal team and this time a proper Ending to the series with no 'Cliffhanger' :D

[@davidvinc]

I would love that!!

[@BigGoronSword]

The good news is Nintendo only has one system, the Switch, so Camelot only had to create one Golf/Tennis game for it. Now that they've done that, plus remind people of the series now that it's on the NSO, I'm expecting a GS Switch game soon.

[@veghesther3204]

But before that PORT the DS Dark Dawn game OVER to NSO/Eshop for those that never played it either after all Dark Dawn technically does have several regions from the first 2 games but aren't accessible at all as in Dark Dawn's World map actually shows the Sol Sanctum/Mercury Lighthouse on its world map.

[@sandyriver4705]

I think they should team up with Sea of Stars dev for a new golden sun project

[@Lordkeepg]

Golden Sun is the game that made fall for RPGs. I played it when I was about 10, and since then RPGs became my favorite genre.

[@jogymogy3691]

Same here. It was my personal "Final Fantasy"

[@djinn_34]

Me too! 🥰

[@someclevername8167]

Same for me. I played it when I was 5 or 6. Got all the way up to the Mercury Lighthouse before I lost the cartridge. Still salty about that to this day

[@joshrillo]

Golden Sun has spoiled every other RPGs for me. They just don't match up to the hype and excitement I felt playing golden sun.

[@kevinburke1325]

Exactly. ​@@joshrillo

[@SpinDlsc]

I still have my GBA copies, thankfully. I would LOVE to see a Golden Sun HD: Complete in the future though, sporting HD-2D visuals that also merges both games into one.

[@veghesther3204]

Same here since I REFUSE to have a NSO account or want one so its either that or WAIT Until the 2 games get a PROPER E shop ONLY version or a Physical/E shop REMASTER of the 2 as for Dark Dawn I still own it to play it on my 3DS its a DS game for Dark dawn. But the 3DS still plays DS games but not the GBA only ones.

[@Mighty10917]

Glad to see Golden Sun was being well remembered I would love to see it comeback and seeing a lot of post about it really shows that the series is high on demand, it's a really a dream come true

[@jupiterivan3433]

It's kind of crazy how much love people have for this series. It's definitely niche, but almost everyone that's played this in the past just fell in love with it. And everyone else just looks at us like we're crazy lol. Hopefully with these releases more people will check Golden Sun eyes. And hopefully it'll get Nintendo to take their eyes off of Xenoblade for a second.

[@cfewLW74]

Personal opinion: if you compare both GS games f. ex. with the GBA Pokemon games, especially in terms of graphics + animations, you come to realize how much love Camelot put into the Golden Sun series while Game Freak really didn't care that much 😅

[@jericosha2842]

I remember looking at screenshots as a kid and couldn't believe my eyes lol

[@seabicuit7247]

These games were so much fun. The graphics were top notch(I miss this style) and the music was fantastic. I can’t wait to replay them. Maybe this time I will be a little less basic and actually customize the djinn vs what I did..Isaac gets earth, Ivan you get wind, Mia gets water, and so on. Still hoping for a proper sequel with the main squad following the original and not a time skip that we got for the ds game.

[@dimitripatronas2409]

Oh my god thank you for this! Golfen Sun is my favorite series I love all 3 games so so much but rhe second one is not only my favorite of the three but my favorite video game ❤

[@davidvinc]

Glad you like them!

[@ChillyWillLee]

My first JRPGs that's wasn't pokemon lol. Absolutely love the first 2 Golden Suns and I highly recommend them!

[@ErekLadd]

So glad these games are getting some attention now pretty much 20 years after they were released. Golden Sun 1 & 2 were a huge part of my childhood! Great video David!

[@VorpalBender]

Thanks for bringing more awareness to this series. It's like a dream come true seeing everyone talking about these games in 2024.

[@diegoarmando5489]

Beyond the Beyond and Golden Sun are basically iterations of Shining Force RPG. Golden Sun is far superior though.

[@grey_wulf]

Hi David! Check this out: I still have my Gamecube with the GBA attachment that allows you to play GBA games on it. I remember playing Golden Sun that way. It was pretty darn cool.

[@davidvinc]

Oh wow!! I don’t have mine anymore, super jealous!

[@grey_wulf]

@@davidvinc I think the hardest part to find is the disc.

[@gettin_lit6594]

This is a game that definitely needs a remake ..👍👍

[@bigeasy89]

Thank you for the spoiler free overview! After watching this video I’m thinking I might need to rework my play list order for the year. Yes, I schedule my games for the year (for the most part). As a husband, father (to a couple of rambunctious toddlers), and lawyer, keeping a schedule is the only way I can play through all of the great games available to us.

[@davidvinc]

That’s a really great idea. I would love to see an example of your schedule!

[@bigeasy89]

@@davidvincwhen I worked within a large firm I got use to scheduling out every part of my day as I was working insane hours. Now that I’m at a smaller firm I have found myself with a lot more free time. I continue to schedule out my entire day, after prioritizing family time and work events, I figure out what time I have left for gaming. I then reference a spreadsheet I have that is broken down into games I need to finish, games I haven’t started, and games I might want to replay. Each category is ranked in order of games I am most wanting to play. When I am working on my daily schedule for the week, I pencil in a specific game into my gaming time slots. I set a goal to complete at least one game each month from the first category (games I need to finish) before I start a game from the second or third categories. While my lists consist of mostly jrpgs, I have more causal games on standby (like Super Mario Wonder) should I find myself with a few unexpected minutes to sneak in a little more gaming. With my gaming time limited I am not afraid to drop a game if it is simply not to my liking.

[@mesmes5163]

Just found this channel and I gotta say you cover some awesome things I’m interested in. Thanks man!

[@davidvinc]

Welcome aboard!

[@bandrew1442]

I have been hearing the praises for this series since I was kid, so this has really pushed them to the top of my must play list

[@RoadRage810]

I still occasionally carry my GBA SP with me. The carrying case i have can hold 3 games. The 3 games that are in the case are Golden Sun, Lost Age and Dragon Quest 3. Im looking forward to trying these out on a modern console.

[@andyraven310]

Hi, thank you so much for the tip! I've been wanting to play Golden Sun for a while now, unfortunately that time will be really over 20 years haha. I love JRPGs and I'm so glad I came across someone my age who shares the same love as me. Thank you so much for creating and keep it up!

[@davidvinc]

Glad I could help!

[@djinn_34]

Golden sun is my FAVORITE GAME of all time. I love these games sooo much!! Thank you David for spreading the love.

[@Lukamusic81]

I had Golden Sun on my GBA when it first came out but I never finished it. I just started playing again two days ago when it released on the Switch. I’m loving it. Going to beat it then play GS2

[@trickyjrmjrm5252]

I secretly used the strategy guide to name my 3 kids. Isaac, Garrett, and Jenna. My ex was pissed when she found out 🤣

[@TheCaptain904]

Fun Fact: The music from Golden Sun games was composed by Motoi Sakuraba, known for composing music from the Tales Of, Star Ocean and Dark Souls series.

[@Quoxz]

In all seriousness, I have not been able to find a game that scratched the same "class" system as Golden Sun - and I have played a LOT of RPGs of all shapes and sizes and scopes in the last 20 years. The Djinn being equal parts quest goal, battle skill, world skill, *and* what changes your character classes was genius level design.

[@AKABoondock19]

game deserves the star ocean treatment

[@grahfkarate1799]

I had a OG GBA and had some monster games but I literally only played it under my lamp. Couldn’t see it otherwise. I played the golden sun, and the Metroid games and that was about it

[@bicenhower7]

Not sure how I missed these back on GBA, but definitely looking forward to checking these out on switch. Thanks for keeping this spoiler free but still informative!

[@davidvinc]

No problem my friend! :)

[@veghesther3204]

But I still don't WANT A NSO account so the games EITHER need a ESHOP version or stick with just the GBA ONLY games on a actual GBA itself.

[@skyrander]

To me Golden sun was just a proper 32 bit RPG for the console. I dunno why. But til that point our referens of a great looking RPG was Pokémon ruby and sapphire. I still remember seeing moves like Ragnarok or my first summon on the trailers thinking: There is no way this is to the GBA. THESE GAMES still looks great for the console. And the twist and team up of GS2 really is like a core memory for me. Just such a incredible experience. And one I have yet to feel I had the pleasure to experience again in such scale.

[@turtleinagurtle1349]

Nothing would make me happier than a remake of these two gems or a 4th installment going back to Isaac and the team. Oh the memories of this game. I have the map hanging on my wall in my game room.

[@Tilkino]

The most annoying thing was the password you have to do to transfer everything from the first game to the second one. It has to longest password to this day than any other games. You have to do like 4 or 5 long full long pages of every random characters available. Letters, numbers, and every question marks, commas, pound, etc. 😅😅

[@StarDragonJP]

Well hopefully it allows you to do the "link cable" transfer instead of having to put in that long password

[@trevor_mounts_music]

One of my favorite games from back in the day - played this a TON on my bus ride to school back in the 2000's.

[@TheDecatonkeil]

After Pokémon Red and Silver (and the Zelda games on Gameboy, SNES and N64, if you want to count them as JRPGs as I did back then), Golden Sun was my gateway into JRPGs. In a way I suppose I sometimes felt a bit pedestrian for this matter, funny how it's now a 23-year-old classic (though I guess it came to Spain technically in 2002, but I did have my GBA with Mario Kart and was anticipating it as it looked like a portable Final Fantasy, that series my cousin used to play on his PlayStation). I adored the first and experienced a serious case of hype for the sequel in which I couldn't but theorize about what we would get to see in it. The wait felt insanely long back then. I had a friend who couldn't wait and made quite a bit of progress with a Japanese, then untranslated ROM. He even introduced me to Terranigma and Lufia 2, which I also played emulated and also left a lasting impression on me. The anticipation for the sequel was more than warranted. It's insane how much like an odyssey those games felt, and the seafaring aspect of it was great. It's weird how I don't see the comparison with Lufia 2 be brought up as much, as I think it's the closest comparison possible (though of course you can compare them with aspects of games Camelot and ex-Camelot staff made like Shining Force and Alundra). It also has a bit of Terranigma in that its world isn't completely original but based on our world, which may be a let-down for people who prefer original settings, but I really appreciated. It was so great to discover that it was based on an ancient configuration of the tectonic plates of Earth when India was separate from Asia, for example, and to try to draw comparisons with real world places and cultures. It also made me interested in learning a lot more mythology than I know of now, as I have forgotten a lot of it. Truly wonderful games. It's a pity that Dark Dawn felt like such an aftergthought, so small in comparison, with those points of no return that felt so antithetical to what these two games were (when I like a setting so much and it feels cozy, I want to go back wherever I want when I want) and that it didn't get a sequel. I hope this series does eventually come back. If it did, I'd buy whichever console they put it in.

[@gokux75]

For Christmas in 2003 we drove to my grandparents house 2 states away and were going to stay there for 2 weeks. I printed out the text guide from game FAQs and carried it with me.

[@MND-um6kw]

Would love to see Golden Sun make a comeback. I didn't get to play through the Golden Sun DS entry all the way through as it was a little too easy. Hopefully, if they even make a 4th one, it's a return to how the first two were.

[@sentientvoid666]

Put it this way, if Nintendo decided to remake these games as seperate purchases instead of one collection, I would happily pay for both. They're just that good and more people need to play them period.

[@TehZergRush]

So glad to see these come to NSO. Always heard great things about them and I still have a sealed copy of the less warmly received Dark Dawn. Been wanting to play through this series for years and now I finally have the opportunity!

I have such fond memories of these games. I remember being 10 or 11 and completing the first game, dying to know what happened next after the cliffhanger ending. Thankfully Lost age released about a month after i completed the first one. I begged my dad to get me the game on release day, and the rest is history.

To me, Golden Sun was the only game that felt like a worthy inheritor of the classic FF6 and CT era.

Can't wait. When i saw the announcement I started spreading the good word... Such an awesome pair of games

[@justinb7542]

Always loved these games. Been waiting since Golden Sun was first announced for NSO last year. Glad they are releasing Lost Age simultaneously.

I have the physical copies of all of the games. Once a year I relive my childhood memories by busting out my GBA, the first two games and the original strategy guides! One of my childhood friends and I always loved the games when they first came out and he's been gone for awhile now so it's nice to relive those memories through this game. I would LOVE to see another title added to the series!

Hardcore conservative here.. Love ur vids.. disagree with some ot ur picks but we same age so i know understand the time frame. Sadly i never had GS1 but i had GS2. Never played bc i never had the original. Sabin is the bomb. Bum Rush. I was raised by FF3 (SNES) Edgar and Sabin were my brothers. The fn GBA is the greatest.

I loved these games. Can’t wait to replay them on Switch. The closest anything has really come to replicating what made these games special might actually be Sea of Stars which felt like it was really inspired by Golden Sun.

[@paulonetto9652]

I believe that there is a chance that we'll see some new Golden Sun game being annouced in the near future. It's been 3 years since the studio launched a game and this is the biggest gap between releases until now. I'd say a totally new Golden Sun, or maybe a junction of the first two games in a new remade version for the Switch.

[@thechosenone93]

It’s definitely coming,the recent Golden Sun + GS2 package being released on the Switch is clearly for Nintendo to gauge whether there is still interest in the franchise/story

Golden Sun has such a special place in my heart. Bought it on a whim back then as a 11 year old and it ignited my love for RPGs and good music (which is still a banger to this day). Would love to see it return in any way, although my hope is kinda slim to be honest. But one can hope. 😅 Also, I always like to see the love it gets from other people, like you David.

[@jeradwaas]

Coming into this video a little late, but I am playing through this series for the first time on Nintendo Switch Online. Going through a bit of a classic JRPG phase at the moment as part of a “Video Game Bucket List”. I’ve heard good things about this series, and I’m very pleased with the first game so far and the fact that Nintendo hasn’t forgotten about this series. I’m glad what I heard is backed up with content like yours and the video from NintendoLife! My “Bucket List” has too many games that are not readily available on modern consoles and will require emulation, so I’m happy for services like NSO, but naturally I want more! ☺️ Thanks for making this video! 🎉

[@miliart7695]

I remember buying this from Sam's Club of all places. I was really excited to play an RPG on my new GBA, but the fact that I had to (seemingly) press the confirm button four times for each regular-old-attack really put me off; it almost felt like I had to press A mid-swing or I'm part of a stop motion film. And this was when I was young, had all the time in the world, and no fear of RSI from button mashing. I would be open to a remake/QoL-update though, maybe with the sequel combined.

[@whiteiswong]

Glad Nintendo brought these games back, still hoping for SEVERAL more to appear in these NSO releases. Then again, if they had them a la carte like Virtual Console, they'd just get more and more of my money...

[@Castapher]

Before Golden Sun series, I played Shining the Holy Ark. I want one exactly like it ♥ Can't find a game like that. First person dungeon crawler but you see your party members attacking. All first person dung-crawlers these days everyone is invisible when attacking, the screen just flashes when you/party members are attacking, dont want that, thank you.

[@patrickm1863]

A really good presentation for these GBA masterpieces. I remember back in time I was surprised by the 1st and then I was soo hyped for the release of the Golden Age. I loved the 2nd so much. More Djinnis , bigger map the full team of the 2 games ! Whoa ! I'm really happy to play it on my switch now. I recommend it for everyone who likes J RPGs. I hope Nintendo is testing the popularity of this franchise for maybe a new episode. Unfortunately I rather forget the 3rd episode on NDS. Anyway this 2 games worth it !

[@jbrooker1989]

Grinding for Ivans Kuichimonji (not spellchecked😂) was one of my least favourite grinds ever but I played the heck out of GS. I have the DS game too. I did own it on the wii u store but sadly didn't translate to any other nintendo products. YET!

[@bobjoemac1]

Didn't expect a HD-2D remake of the games. But seeing them put on the Switch like this basically confirms it. Mario RPG and the Final Fantasies arent on their for probably that exact reason. Oh well I'll never give up hope haha.

[@patrickmichaelis1783]

I love Lufia 2 so i looking forward to playing These games. But i would loved it more if they making HD Remaster of Lufia 2 and Terranigma, my favourite games for the SNES who still haven't gotten any re-releases.

[@CappuccinO80]

I liked these games although IMO they're just average overall. Never understood why they were so popular ... guess it has to do with nostalgia and being amongst the first truly colored portable JRPGs?

[@benzabechamel]

My first real experience in JRPG via the Gameboy Advance. So many memories ! Also, Tank tops are BACK for our pleasure 😂.

[@BigIndianBindi-jy1cz]

Golden SUn2 also has more "Biomes" as in... grass, cliffs, and water landscapes. There's at least 10 that I counted. I learned this when I was sprite ripping. And Golden Sun 1 mainly uses the same cliffs/grass. So GS2 had a lot of landscape variety.

[@SantoryuKauboi]

Played them back in the day and were my favorite JRPG’s of all time until I Xenoblade chronicles on the New 3DS. Happened precisely when Satorl Marsh transitioned to night time and I’ll never forget just sitting there staring at the screen and listening to the theme.

[@bobbyo5807]

I've got on my retro pie Emulation Station but hadn't played yet.Guess I need to play next after Lufia 2 which is what I'm playing for first time now in fact

[@travisflint7616]

I played the first one on an emulator a few years ago and thought it was pretty good. But I was let down when I couldn't find the second one on an emulator. So it left me feeling bitter that I got half (albeit a good half) an experience. I also bought Dark Dawn when it came out, but never got very far. So seeing the the first two get released for NSO had me convinced I was doing a full run of the three. I'm so glad I did. I found a new love for the first one and really the second and third were both amazing as well. It feels like Final Fantasy meets Zelda for me and both of those are two of my favourite gaming franchises. After finishing Dark Dawn, I was feeling so sad that it was all over. But I hope Nintendo sees how many people went crazy when these were announced and they see that RPG's are hot right now, and finally make a Golden Sun 4. My god I need it.

[@canisblack]

I've replayed them several times since I first got them back during the days of the GBA. I also played the DS sequel and am rather bummed we never got the sequel(s) that it was clearly setting up for.

[@raymondsellitto4867]

If only you could disable the annoying text sound effects. That’s the worst thing about Golden Sun. Other than that, amazing game.

[@ArcCaravan]

I mostly know this game from an enjoyable acapella cover, staring at a box for the DS game to pass time while waiting in a store, and the Smash assist trophy that someone on a certain KZbin channel refers to as "dead franchise man". I strongly dislike that nickname and said someone is a consistent confrontational/trolling streamer whose mockery can apply to Banjo & Kazooie (which he likes) among other complaint(s) that have practically nothing to do with this.

[@EmperorSephirothII]

I must be the odd man out here because I recently played all 3 Golden Sun games, yes, including Dark Dawn on the DS. By the end of it, I couldn't stand any of it. I thought it was overrated garbage. Having said that though, I do feel bad for Camelot in that it is clear from the ending of Dark Dawn that they wanted to make a 4th game but were never given the chance.

[@calvinmatthews1527]

I thought you were fanboying out these games, David. But judging by these comments & the Metacritic scores, you are not. Kind of raises the question of how these games haven't received much recognition over the years.

[@riyuphoenix4533]

The Djinn system mixing which each respective memeber made for some incredible customisation, it an indepth system which to this day still doesnt get enough praise. I would personally now love a full remake but dont for them not to change the combat to much, but a graphic overhual would be amazing as i would love to play it on the big screen.

[@Vaquix000]

Golden sun was an interesting series, though I feel the 3rd game was very dumb. Why? Not only do the main characters look exactly like the parents, (they couldn't be assed to think of new designs) the parents send their children on a dangerous journey and do not help them even though the heroes have killed gigantic super dragons multiple times. It is senseless and stupid.

I wasn't aware of these games until they were announced for Switch's online service (skipped out on the GBA... a time where I wasn't able to play much of anything). They are on my radar, and if I decide to give them a try, I'll probably just get physical copies (loose is fine).

[@MrTimelord77]

I actually look like Matthew from Golden Sun 3. It was a good game, but the dialogue took forever making the end even worse.
