The game picks up 30 years after the first two games in the series left off. At the end of Golden Sun: The Lost Age, the heroes succeeded in bringing the world-healing power of the Golden Sun back to the world of Weyard. In the years since, the immense power of the Golden Sun has changed nearly everything. Continents have shifted. New countries have emerged. New species have appeared. But the world is now imperiled by a new threat. Psynergy Vortices, which suck the elemental Psynergy from both the land and power-wielding Adepts alike, are spreading across the world. The new generation of heroes - the children of those from the previous games - are drawn into the mystery behind the vortices as they cross a chaotic world that is succumbing to a new evil.

Looks like we can stop wondering what's going on with Nintendo DS role-playing game Golden Sun: Dark Dawn.

Nintendo this morning said that the game will be hitting North American stores on Nov. 29.

Taking place 30 years after the events of Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age for the Game Boy Advance system, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn will drop players into a "planet-sized world of adventure to explore and conquer."

The game allows each of the playable characters to carry a Dijinn that gives the character special abilities. Players can collect more than 70 unique Djinn, granting them the ability to summon mighty deities who unleash devastating attacks that fill both Nintendo DS screens. Powers include flinging fireballs to burn away obstacles, freezing water to raise platforms, or summoning whirlwinds to create bridges out of floating objects.

Didn't see a thread but search usually fails sometimes.

I seriously cant wait for this. Golden Sun was the first GBA game I ever gotten and played a lot. The last dungeon in the first game still pisses me off.

November 29th release date

I can't wait either, I've been hoping for a new Golden Sun game for so long. I'm glad I played through the first 2 games within the last 6 months, so the story is relatively fresh in my mind.

[Marcicus]

I never beat the final boss in the 2nd Golden Sun. Djinn Storm->Cruel Ruin=lolgg?

[vrumpt]

thank god somebody made a thread, i just started doing another playthrough of the games after looking at new vids and stuff. Cannot wait for this game

My only complaint is that it's in 3D on the DS, whyyyyyyyyy? The first two looked pretty nice for the time (especially the summons & stuff) but this one looks ugly as hell.
I'm still going to play the hell out of it though.

[Vincento]

I'm psyched for this, glad they set a release date I almost forgot about it. Hopefully looking forward to areas similar to those quirky puzzle dungeons the previous two entries in the series were comprised of.

agreed, it would be so much prettier as 2D. still looking forward to it, though.

[Holly Short]

Fuck. Now I have to buy a DS. I ended up picking up the first GS when I was young and it quickly became the stuff of legends such as OoT and others amongst my circle of friends. Fucking amazing series.

Thirded, I dunno why but 3D DS graphics bug me. I don't have a problem going back and playing old 3D PS1 games though, lol.

But I will still play the shit out of this though, loves me some Golden Sun.

[Kaisha]

I don't mind the 3D, but I will mind it if there's no d-pad/button fallback for anything that would use the stylus.

I've just grown to hate holding a stylus in my index finger while playing a game on the DS for whenever the game requires me to use it.

[sephir]

I saw this thread and went looking for my DS and my old GBA games. I found Golden Sun 2, but I was unable to find both my DS and the original Golden Sun.

NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[Qalbert]

I wonder it the RNG will be as easy to abuse

[Kaisha]

If they're going to put low-drop rates on mobs that rarely appear again, it damn well better.

Was great having the most pimped out shit in GS1 when I ported my data over to GS2.

[Charismatic]

aaand finding out that most of it isn't that great anymore, awwww yeah.

[Draylo]

Eh I will miss the original characters too much ;/ hope they play some role in this game.

[Dmitry]

Hmmm I really liked the first 2. I wonder if I have time to go back and play them.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

I love these games. I recently tried to reply my Golden Sun 1(Like, no less then 2 weeks ago) and was greeted with a broken game. I'm sad.

Ya, the graphics shouldn't change. That makes the game look just blah. I don't wanna see Djinns in shitty 3D. I'll of course buy this and a 3DS if I need to but god damn I won't be happy about it!

[Chezo]

oh man I loved golden sun completely forgot about the series this new one looks really fun
