Huh well I wasn't going to get this but after reading the OP you sold me.
I had a lot of fun with this and it's sequel. Enjoy people!
Repeating what others have said but I hope Camelot are given a chance to make another rpg again in the future. Dark Dawn wasn't great and I don't know who is still at the company who was involved with the rpgs they have produced but it would be a shame if they are only to make Nintendo sports spin offs in the future.

I'm going to double dip for Golden Sun, and here is a small hope for Isaac to be playable character in Smash 4.

Such an awesome game! Have many of you played Shining the Holy Ark on Saturn? For me that was the original Golden Sun.

Shining the Holy Ark is one of my childhood favorite RPG's. How I long to play the game in some form again.

One of my favorite JRPGSs of all time. I don't have a WiiU but I might dig the old GBA out of the closet and revisit this game (as well as the first sequel).
These battle gifs are awesome!

Probably his two strongest soundtracks, in my opinion.

Obviously Camelot will redeem you with Golden Sun 4 3DS. Or Shining Force 4.

This was the game of my childhood. I liked Golden Sun better than The Lost Age because Isaac was a better protagonist to me. I couldn't imagine replaying it now though. All that text and false choices. I was really disappointed when I finally got to play Dark Dawn, too.
such overkill, it's just an undead lol

I gotta say I always liked the first Golden Sun the best mainly because when you used a 4 level summon the Psynergy particles were bigger. Lost age always used small particles regardless of the summon. And I guess I just liked Isaac better.
I played this only a couple-few years ago, and it's a great game. I never thought it was too wordy - if anything, the only bad parts for me were a class system that was hard to figure out, and if you go out of your way to collect djinn, the game is essentially set to easy mode. But it's got nice systems that are fun to experiment with, the story moves along, and since I first played it long after it had come out, the cliffhanger ending wasn't a big deal. I'd hope that Nintendo is prioritizing Lost Age for people playing the game for the first time on VC, so you're not left hanging forever.

And here I thought I was the only one who actually liked this game. If I owned a Wii U, I'd be all over this. Guess I'll just have to play it on my Game Boy...

How did you miss all the people asking for Isaac in the Smash threads?
I vastly prefer GS2 to GS1. GS1 is basically an appetizer.

One of my favourite games of all time. I envy those who will be playing for the first time; enjoy!
Hopefully they'll include it in the e-manual.

This party feels souless without the amzing european commercial:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lOvwdVp8Fvo
This commercial right here is what sold the game to the majority of people. I remember all people talking about it on high school. Then me and a friend got the game and showed it during recess. People where surprised for not having anything to do with the commercial but were wowed with the graphics and went to by GBAs for the game.
Good times.

That was the NA commercial too.
And it's the first thing I included when I started making the OP.
I always found the Thor summoning sequence to be way more impressive visually.
I'm new be nice

Yeah GS2 just steps it up in every level imaginable, it's the perfect sequel.
It's not like you don't get him half way through though, exactly where you left off from the first game with all the same equipment and everything. You could roll with your exact same party.

One of my all time favorite games! Can't wait!

Doubt I'll rebuy these, but Lost Age is great and I'll probably replay them. Assuming that is coming soon since its literally the second half of the game.

I enjoyed both the first one and the Lost Ages.

One of the best portable RPGs ever. Still have my OG cart around, but would buy on Wii U.
thxinfo
Yep, this game is one of my favourite rpg's. I would get it for the wii u but i already have it for gba. Gameplay, music, story.. everything is on point.
Hope you guys enjoy it.

HOLY COW 2001 its been that long since i played this game O.O
First foray into the series was Dark Dawn, was pretty disappointed but I liked it conceptually. I'm excited to finally play the original. It would be nice if NOA did a promotion for the launch of the GBA games like buy 1 get a discount on the others but I'm not holding my breath.

I know, but
he started talking
they were only there for the last lighthouse anyway
GS1 is more bite-sized and thus the better portable game. Judgment, Titan Blade and the Venus Lighthouse theme are also pretty boss.
But GS2 has Catastrophe, Megiddo, the Mars Lighthouse theme and mother effing Dullahan.
I can't choose!
It's pretty doubtful. Nintendo has stated getting GBA games to run on the 3DS (in the quality they'd like to release them) is virtually impossible.
This and also Air's Rock <3
Nice OP, though I was confused at first why this was up so early...forgot about Japan.
At least this time you can take a screenshot and don't have to write it down.

This is game will always have special place in my heart. It was the first jrpg that I played and got me to love this genre.
I saw Dark Dawn on gamestop the other day, for cheap, never played it since I didn't have a DS, although I have a 3DS now. I didn't buy it cause I was saving up for another game.
I keep hearing this is the worst game out of the three. I liked Golden Sun I+II for the Dungeons/Puzzles, the plot was alright, but the characters weren't very interesting.
What's GAF's opinion on Dark Dawn?

It's got the dungeon and puzzle stuff down. But while the story was never great before, it's even more overly verbose now. If it's cheap, try it. But it definitely doesn't hit in the same way
