After tones of fake posting and flocks Golden Sun is officially coming back to the Nintendo and making its long awaited debut on the DS. As a huge fan of the Golden Sun series you could say that I am overly excited for the release and that the series will be continued on the Nintendo DS system. This is a sign of relief and thanks for E3 for getting the scope on this great role-playing game.

 

Golden Sun DS from its E3 demo looked incredible. The game opens cinematically, sweeping a mountaintop home into view in glorious 3D against a backdrop of distant peaks. You see Isaac, who is the hero in the original Golden Sun game, has been re-imaged in 3D as well. You take control of him and run across a bridge, taking it all in. Then the demo is over.

 

Even thought the demo last less than 10 seconds does not defeat the presentation, as a video of battle sequences, exploration and character glimpses follow after you lose control of Isaac’s movements. When you check out the trailer from the E3 conference one can see that Golden Sun DS could be setting the new high bar for 3D role-playing on Nintendo’s handheld. Looking at the trailer you can still enjoy this game knowing that the graphics have been redone dispite the old versions still being playable and enjoyable as well.

 

The walking controls are just fine. Isaac’s movement can be controlled directly by the D-pad, or you can us the touch pad to move him around.
