Golden Sun DS

Did you hear, guys?
I'm sure nobody could miss that obnoxiously huge text on the front page.
GOOOOLLLLDEN SUUUUUUN DEEEEE EEEESSSS!
Somebody give her some Valium. Please.
I'm thinking we might need to tranquilise her.
Eh, I'll just cast Sleep if she goes completely out of control.
So. Yeah. Great news!
Golden Sun for the DS? Finally? Camelot sure took their sweet time.
Oh, don't complain. It's happening, isn't it?
I can't believe it. I keep thinking it's a dream and I'll wake up any second now.
This is surely the kind of news that would make grown men weep in joy... if they played Golden Sun.

On Tuesday, the 2nd of June 2009, a monumental occasion that many of us had been excitedly awaiting and anticipating for many, many years finally came to pass. A new Golden Sun game was at long last announced for the Nintendo DS. A trailer was released with gameplay footage and at long last, we knew we had the game that we had spent almost a decade waiting for.

Maybe not almost, but it sure felt like it! Golden Sun: The Lost Age was released outside of Japan in 2003, and we've waited six years for word from Camelot on a new game. Now we have it at long last.

Currently, we just have the information from the playable demo shown at E3, but as more information comes out, you can bet this page will be regularly updated with new and up to date information!

The Nintendo E3 Press Kit yielded some goodies, including the trailer and a piece of official art.

Watch the trailer on Youtube

Be sure to look closely, because they definitely are not Isaac, Garet and Mia. ;)

Another interesting tidbit of information has popped up on the Nintendo E3 Press Release page.

"Golden Sun™ DS: After going dark six years ago, 2010 will see a new dawn. Golden Sun DS updates the popular portable Golden Sun role-playing series with an impressive graphical style. This installment follows the story of the previous heroes’ descendants and immerses players into the magic of its adventure by pushing the boundaries of intuitive touch-screen controls. Golden Sun DS is playable on the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems."

So, in a nutshell, that means Golden Sun DS will involve playing as the descendants of Isaac and co. Oh yeah, bring on the shipping wank. ^_^

Youtube has two gameplay videos up, by Gamekyo and RPGamer.

Gamekyo also posted a couple of pictures of the game's prologue, including this one. The other one is sadly impossible to read as it's so small.
