Im stoked about this one too. Dont feel bad Chatham... DS are pretty cheap. Now seeing that new Metroid and Indy game is Wii only as well as Galaxy 2 is coming out I gotta drop another 250 on a Wii again.

Never played the original Golden Sun, and I doubt i'll pick up this game. Isn't Golden Sun just another generic JRPG? Or is there something unique about it?

The first two Golden Sun games are famed as being two of the best games on the GBA.
Golden Sun is one of the best RPG franchises of all time! This game was long overdue for a sequel! Thankfully Nintendo finally gave us RPG fans the sequel we've all been waiting for! Hooray for Golden Sun!
Golden Sun and Magical Vacation were the two main reason I bought a GBA system in the first place. It's a shame we never got the original Magical Vacation, but at least we're getting a new Golden Sun game for the DS. That made my day.
That was the only reason I got my purple GBA too Corbie. Wish I hadn't have sold it to my neighbor. It was an awesome RPG. I'm looking forward to the next one, I never played the sequel and I heard the second one was better than the first.
I still prefer the original Golden Sun over The Lost Age. But just barely. In fact, as soon as I get the reviews for Mighty Flip Champs and FFIV: After Years done, I might just give the original Golden Sun another play through for fun.
I played (and loved) the first two, but it was some time ago and I can't for the life of me remember anything about the story/plot. Someone mind giving the cliff notes version?

The only thought I had was the words GOLDEN SUN DS being replayed over and over and over again...I can NOT wait any longer for this game. Six years has been long enough, Nintendo! I NEED GOLDEN SUN NOW!
Sorry about that. Please, Nintendo, take as much time as you need to make this game epic. Make us Golden Sun fans proud! And bring in new players to the fold! Everyone needs to play the awesomesauce that is Golden Sun.
Oh, and I hope Sakuraba is composing again. My personal favorite video game music composer.
@Kknight: The first game was about Isaac and his band of cohorts (Garet, Ivan, Mia) trying to prevent Saturos and Menardi from lighting the beacons of the Elemental Lighthouses and bringing about the end of the world. They were also trying to save Jenna (the best character IMO, just look at my picture) and Kraden. The second game followed Felix, Jenna's long lost brother, and his band of cohorts (Jenna, Sheba, Piers) trying to light the remaining Elemental Lighthouses. Contrary to the knowledge Isaac has, lighting the beacons will actually save Weyard. Soon both groups join up to save the world.

There can only be one, like in that foreign movie where there could only be one, and in the end there is only one dude left, because that was the point.

No problem, Kknight. Gotta spread the GS love in any way I can.
I have to say, the announcment that Golden Sun DS will feature the descendants of the original games has me wondering: who's paired up with who? If Camelot is smart and doesn't want to send the fans into a tizzy, they'll either have to keep that knowledge from the player or have the main characters marry somebody not previously seen.
Of course, that's no fun. If I was a gambling man, I'd bet the pairings are Issac/Jenna=blonde-haired kid, Garet/Mia=dude that looks like Garet, and Felix/Sheba=the female character. Isaac and Garet are a lock, but their significant other is not. And the female shown in the artwork doesn't look very similar to anyone else, though she does look Jupiter Adept-ish.
Sorry, just wondering what anyone else thought. Golden Sun is one of my favorite franchises, so I've got to drum up some discussion about this awesome game.

@Chatam..... I my Wii right before Christmas because I stood in line for hours to get Wii Fit and hated it. Got fed up with the casual after casual game release and said screw this and listed it on Ebay. I had about 20 VC downloads and put Wii Fit into the package as well and it sold. FOR $900!!! So, not complaining. I bought a 40in Samsung and a PS3 lol. Im now waiting on the black Wii to drop cause I can always just log in and redownload my games (i think)
