Fans of the under rated Golden Sun series were overjoyed to find out that the original Golden Sun game was released for the Wii U virtual console for about $8. As a fan of the series this was a nice incentive for me to buy my first and only Wii U eshop purchase to date.
As fans know the original game had a sequel and it’s been revealed that Golden Sun: The Lost Age will be released in Japan on July 28th. This means that at some point possibly in August fans in the west can download this game and have a complete set of the GBA Golden Sun series. For those who are interesting in a complete set I also recommend the third and most recent game in the series Golden Sun Dark Dawn for the DS.
Overall this gives easy access to the entire Golden Sun series and I highly recommend this game for any RGP fan. Also a lot of fans have pointed out the absence of a Golden Sun trophy in the upcoming Super Smash Brothers game. This possibly hints at a playable Golden Sun character in the new game. While originally this seemed very unlikely with the inclusion of characters like Robin, Lucina, Little Mac, and Greninja it’s clear that nothing is predictable about this cast of characters so there is still hope for Golden Sun fans. Personally speaking if someone like Isaac appears in the roster with all the characters so far I will be overjoyed and wouldn’t have any suggestions to make.
