2001’s Golden Sun is a long game. Like really long.
Proclaimed by Nintendo Power as the best RPG on the Game Boy Advance (GBA) at the time, Golden Sun boasts an impressive average play time of 40.5 hours, according to GameFAQs, though you can easily beat it in 15-20 hours if you ignore all the side quests.
And it did it on the shoestring software of the GBA, which could barely render 3D objects.
Alex DS. from Link Cable Gaming writes: "The franchise celebrated its 20th anniversary yesterday without a peep from Nintendo and that’s a real shame because despite only being three games deep, this is one of the best-received RPG series out there. In short, it’s time for a new Golden Sun."
Yea good luck. Put this in the pile with f-zero, kid Icarus, wario land, etc. and label it the "wt are you waiting for" pile
I would love to play a new Wario Land but it will never happen 😭😭😭
hah, seriously, they are sitting on a goldmine of IP's that they dont want to do anything with.
This has been overdue since the gamecube era
Screen Rant Writes: The Nintendo Switch has seen record success for the company, and to keep the momentum going Nintendo needs to dig a little deeper in its catalog.
Golden Sun is a fantastic series. They should really continue it.
To say I miss Advanced Wars would be an understatement. Two of my top favorite series of the GBA.
I'd love to see a return of StarTropics. I don't think it will happen, but I'd welcome it.
Agreed. They have a deep catalog of dormant IPs that they could reinvent for the Switch.
Where the hell is Golden Sun? It's been 10 years. All Camelot's been doing are Mario sports games.
Over the decades, countless incredible franchises have graced Nintendo consoles, some of which have been neglected.
Banjo-Kazooie isn't a Nintendo franchise anymore
Conker was never a Nintendo, especially since non of its game were even published by Nintendo
Nintendo never owned Rare or the original IPs that the studio created during the N64-era. I can’t believe the author lists Conker and Banjo-Kazooie as Nintendo franchise, despite both series having releases and re-releases on Xbox consoles.
Not true
On the back of the Diddy Kong Racing box art, this was written
"Trademark of Nintendo, Diddy Kong, Banjo and Krunch characters licensed by Nintendo"
Meaning Nintendo licensed those characters to Rare. Note how Conker isn’t among the listed
No that means Nintendo licensed those characters, meaning they paid Rare for their use. Conker wasn't in Diddy Kong Racing and they never owned any of them.
@ where
There’s already proof that Nintendo at a point owned the Banjo-Kazooie franchise

Trademark History:
Nintendo of America Inc - Original Registrant
Nintendo of America Inc - Owner at Publication
Nintendo of America Inc - Original Applicant
Conker debuted in Diddy Kong Racing alongside Banjo

@ Sci
That doesn’t make sense. If Rare owned those characters mentioned in the trademark then there’d be no need to specifically mention just those three in particular as being licensed by Nintendo
this game's so good it's a shame it was only on GBA, this should of been on a console.
I will never forget the experience Golden Sun 1 & 2 provided me, classic JRPG's!
Also the soundtrack to both games never gets old, Golden Sun 2 has the best battle theme in any JRPG imo.
Can we just acknowledge that this is one of the greatest RPG's of all time?
I remember fighting that 3 headed final boss dragon and it took me sooo long to beat that damn thing
I love this series.
I never played the third game though, I was watching a walk through a long time ago but I forgot about it.
