E309 | Golden Sun Coming to Nintendo DS

The dream of almost every gamer came true today as it was revealed Golden Sun is returning, this time on DS. It has to be the most frequently asked question whenever journalists get the chance to interview the Takahashi brothers at Camelot Software Planning, and the response was always the same. In fact, when Cubed3 spoke with them back in June last year, the brothers revealed "Golden Sun is an epitome of all our members' knowledge and experience and of course those that developed the game are very emotionally attached to it" and have also specifically stated in other interviews that they were just waiting for Nintendo to say the word.

Well, the word seems to have indeed been said, because Golden Sun DS is now a reality. As Nintendo itself states:

After going dark six years ago, 2010 will see a new dawn. Golden Sun DS updates the popular portable Golden Sun role-playing series with an impressive graphical style. This installment follows the story of the previous heroes' descendants and immerses players into the magic of its adventure by pushing the boundaries of intuitive touch-screen controls. Golden Sun DS is playable on the Nintendo DS and Nintendo DSi systems.

Are you pleased to finally see Golden Sun head to DS?
