Golden sun always looked great to me, would get me to at least check out the game on wii u

On one hand, I love Golden Sun.
On the other hand, I did not like Dark Dawn.

It'll be hard to sell me on a new entry until I've seen it for myself.

How is the DS game compared to the GBA games.  I own it but haven't played it.

This would be amazing. Personally I would also love to see them reboot DBZ legacy of Goku for WiiU. If not at least for 3DS.

It's easier than the GBA games. And expect a lot of retconning.

Otherwise it's fine.

I love Golden Sun, wish I still had my GBA games.

Good call! Golden Sun is an excellent, underused property.

Would you settle for a 3DS game kirby or is your heart set on WiiU?

As much as a handheld game would be in the spirit of the previous games, i think this IP would be brilliant on the big screen!

It definitely didn't live up to the GBA games, but it wasn't a bad game by any means. My biggest complaints were the difficulty being toned down and the inclusion of two big points of no-return. The latter really ticked me off during 1st playthrough, since I don't normally use strategy guides on my first run for games like this. Kept me from getting one of the summons and two of the Djinn.

I thought the story was good, at least compared to the previous games, but it tried too hard to add unnecessary lore and area backstory IMO, to the point where it seemed odd that parts of the world seemed to have such a rich history that wasn't even remotely hinted at in the first two games. I personally treated most of it as stuff that the heroes skipped over during their first adventure, but some locations are so vast, it's hard to believe these massive castle towns and huge port cities were just missed during the GBA games. Oftentimes, it felt as if these huge civilizations just somehow emerged entirely during the timeskip. Which is extremely hard to believe, since it was only ~15 years.

It's still an enjoyable game though, if you can look past those issues. I'm certainly still excited for the next entry.

Loved the first two games, I need to get my hands on that third game one day!

But I'm not sold for this IP on the WiiU. I think it's beautifully made for handheld, maybe someone could do something great with the IP and reimagine it for WiiU, but I don't think Camelot is the developer with enough ambition and talent to make it happen.
