Nintendo Adds Another Golden Sun Soundtrack To Nintendo Music

Now I can listen to Garoh's haunting theme repeatedly! And the various epic battle themes... Melancholic Lemuria....Jupiter Lighthouse....

Nostalgia intensifies

Surprised to see 2 Golden Suns before a 2nd Animal Crossing

I wish they would’ve made a 3D Golden Sun game on a home console.

Having not played any of the GBA games (though I own the DS game), I'm only here for Battle with Doom Dragon, one of the two songs used in Battle Scene / Final Battle (Golden Sun) in the Norfair stage in Smash Bros.

Another awesome JRPG soundtrack, I'll take it and give it a listen 😃. I am surprised they're not doing the rest of the Splatoon 3 songs to celebrate the third anniversary though.

Never been able to develop much of a taste for Golden Sun as a game but it's always had a killer soundtrack.

Motoi Sakuraba at his finest. Main Theme GS2 makes me cry, such a nostalgic game

I had so much fun with this game back in the day. It’s everything good about old school final fantasy games, but somehow better. The summons were epic, the djinn customization class options were numerous, the craftable weapons were some of the best, and the soundtrack was legendary. Why doesn’t Nintendo give this series the revival that it desperately deserves?

@depwnz you should listen to Kid Icarus Uprising. Most of that game was Sakuraba's work.

Dark Dawn's next!

I so want a total remake of this beauty!

It's still a shame Camelot doesn't exist any more. I really hope Nintendo will give us another entry in this series. I loved it and the Golden Sun series is easily top 10 GBA material for me.

I had every intention of starting Golden Sun 2 after finishing the first one and having a great time with it...until I was confronted with the ludicrously long passcode you needed to manually transfer completion data between the two games and gave up after spending about half an hour trying (and failing) to replicate it exactly in a notebook. Maybe it's time to give it another shot now I have decent camera phone xD

@Rooty You can just make a screenshot (on Switch)

@Pillowpants Camelot still exist: https://www.camelot.co.jp/wp/

I too would love to get a new entry in the series. And I do have hope we will get it one of these days since Nintendo brought back some past IPs in the Switch era, and RPGs did well on the platform.

I can't understand though how Camelot are still able to maintain themselves as a company when they rarely release any new games, and Mario Tennis Aces and Mario Golf: Super Rush didn't sell well (if I'm not mistaken on that).

@PikminMarioKirby I know right? I would be so happy about another AC OST, since the one in New Horizons is my least favorite. It has some really nice tracks, like Mystery Island theme or from the fishing tournament, but the hourly music from the other games are better imo.

@PeterTomlan86 Huh, I thought they were out of business, but I guess I was mistaking them for Alpha Dream, my apologies. Anyway, I hope they get to make another entry into this series, or a remaster.

fun fact about Golden Sun The Lost Age music

If you go into the battle mode lobby from the main menu, there is an NPC in the lower left corner who acts as a hidden sound test if you talk to her while holding the L or R buttons. She will let you listen to music you've heard in-game, or if you're using a cleared save file (saved after beating the final boss), then she will have every music track available, including all the music from Golden Sun 1 as well.

Always thought this was a cool little easter egg.

@The-Chosen-one I say a remake is really warranted for this one! Especially the battle system and encounter rate could use a little quality of life updates!

Recommendations:
Jennas battle theme
The sea battle theme
Air rock
Garoh

So many more, the soundtrack is one of the reasons I love this Final Fantasy - Zelda hybrid! 🤎

My hope is these signals a new one is in production. give it to monolith soft. If you want it new.... give to Acquire if you want return to form

I'm all for an HD remake of both Golden Sun GBA games. Full voice acting and additional post game dungeons with secret boss fights. Make it happen Nintendo!

Should've added this when they added the first game, but happy to see it finally arrive. 3rd one next? Also, may we hope this hints at an announcement in the upcoming Direct? Hmmm maybe not, but I will anyway.

@PikminMarioKirby

They'll probably give us Wild World, followed, months later, by City Folk. 😝

I just wish they'd give us the OG Animal Crossing soundtrack. I need to listen to Working for Nook, the Rainy Day theme, and my fav (among many others)... 5p. 🥰

@Tyranexx

Nice seeing you!

Glorious retro music this is!
Now I just need my Golden Sun 4...

@Mariotag Long time no see! I'm still around, mostly just under articles these days.

I'd love for them to make a Golden Sun 4, particularly with how 3/Dark Dawn ended.

@Tyranexx Ohhh yes. 4 is a must to me. But they'd probably need to make a remake package first.

And I figured. Even I'm feeling the burden.

@Mariotag I'd be on top of a remake package lol. The Golden Sun series need it IMO.

I had some life circumstances change, so I'm spending a bit less time on NL these days. It was a personal decision that has nothing to do with the site.

@Tyranexx
Fair. Life happens. Still nice seeing you around.

Direct came and went. Instead of GS, we got a truckload of dlc. Even the premium sub got paid dlc. Gotta love it.

@Mariotag Glad to see you still around too.

It was a great Direct IMO. Just a lot to take in on what was a busy Friday for me lol.

@Tyranexx
Eh. Ups and downs.

Lack of Golden Sun for 15 years has me bothered though.

As well as all the DLC.

@Mariotag Maybe someday on Golden Sun 4 if we badger them enough.

Can't say I'm overly fond of all the DLC announcements either. Unfortunately, I think the practice is here to stay.
