    looks great i really enjoyed the music of the GBA games, hopefully this sequel is no different

    I have been immensely excited for this game. Even more as the release date draws closer. There are a lot of things I want to see in this one. I have wanted this game far more and longer than any game in the past few years. @IceHawk79 - It should work on the lite. I don't see why not.

  • IceHawk79 - October 24, 2010 10:46 p.m.

    This is probably a stupid question, but this can be played on the DS Lite right? (Since Im not bothering with the 2 or 1 after that til DS3D)

    AWESOME!!! The first two games were some of the best role playing games ive avae played. I beat the hell outta them both. Got all the dejinn in both games, all the summons, beat every single boss even the extra bosses in the second game, and I even transfered all my dejinn from the first game to the second one. Ive been waiting for this game ever since I first beat the beat em both. And I dont even need to guess if this one is gonna be good.

    Now I only have one more thing to ask.. BRING THE FIRST 2 GOLDEN SUN'S TO THE DS PUT THEM BOTH ON ONE CARTRIDGE WITH A LITTLE NEW STUFF. BAM! JUST CONVINCED MYSELF TO GRATEFULLY HAND OVER 40 BUCKS FOR THE ORIGINALS. But seriously the first 2 would be really nice to have because they are pretty hard to get.

  • GameManiac - October 23, 2010 3:10 a.m.

    (Ugh! More spam...) I've only played the first game (fantastic game in my opinion). Definetly considering this game upon its release.

  • Myko - October 22, 2010 6:51 p.m.

    nice Golden Sun I love a good ol' JRPG turn based game every now and then, but Golden Sun is a for sure go, thanks for the preview

  • Evil_AppleJuice - October 22, 2010 6:20 p.m.

    im pretty damn excited for this game :D

  • DarkPaladin - October 22, 2010 6:45 a.m.

    Isn't it awesome when we actually get what we ask for? Let's hope this is only beginning of Golden Sun's revival!

  • NanoElite666 - October 22, 2010 4:38 a.m.

    God DAMN the Nov. 29 launch date, what with being about two weeks before my birthday and therefore preventing me from picking this up on launch! But god DAMN will it be worth the wait!

  • PlainLikeVanilla - October 22, 2010 2:33 a.m.

    It looks uglier than the gba ones... Still I've been waiting for this since the end of 2.

  • brettjohnson - October 22, 2010 12:33 a.m.

    SO EXCITED! Although I will miss sprites the new 3D definitely looks good. Especially in the battles. It won't be faux-3D anymore! :D And I really hope that they bring every summons back. I saw a part of Ramses' in a video and almost fainted from excitement.

  • Mikaro - October 22, 2010 12:27 a.m.

    @Carolyn: Probably. @Defguru: Erm... Rief is male...

  • Defguru7777 - October 21, 2010 11:38 p.m.

    Can't wait for this, Golden Sun is my second favorite game of all time! That blue guy is definitely from Prox, maybe he's descended from either Saturos or Agatio? But honestly he kind of looks like Kisame from Naruto. And Rief looks like she's going to be Mia's daughter. Did they happen to say who Matthew and Tyrel's mothers were? I always though Isaac and Jenna would hook up. Damn you GamesRadar, now I'm giddy with excitement!

  • Triplzer0 - October 21, 2010 10:34 p.m.

    @Mikaro - Ditto. I am beyond excited for this game. Golden Sun is one of my favorite series of all time.

  • GamesRadarCarolynGudmundson - October 21, 2010 10:32 p.m.

    @510BrotherPanda - Seriously, Ulysses was the least cool of all the summons I saw, so I don't know why he's the only summon in the screenshots Nintendo released. @Hydrohs - You can use touchscreen or buttons. @Mikaro - As for Kraden, he must have drank A LOT of lemurian draught during the past 30 years?

  • Hydrohs - October 21, 2010 10:23 p.m.

    Are the touch screen controls for using Psynergy on the overworld mandatory? Or can we use strictly buttons?

  • 510BrotherPanda - October 21, 2010 10:13 p.m.

    ... I wish they kept the Pokemon-like overworld and avatars, instead of this blocky FF3-4 DS stuff. Or well-drawn 2-d stuff like Muramasa. And why is Ulysses a half naked ghost man? It was a female shaman before.
