RPG games are amazing and Nintendo and Camelot made one of the best series ever with Golden Sun. This is a series I have fond memories of playing, as I first played it after a relative rented it for me when I was sick. It was so different from other RPG games to me and it had such an amazing charm that others didn’t.
The series has a massive amount of fan support behind it, even more now than ever, and I feel it is the right time to revive the series. Nintendo needs a good RPG series for their library, as while Xenoblade is amazing, Golden Sun will be better for more traditional JRPG fans. That style of gaming still has a lot of support and Nintendo and Atlus did come out with Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE on Wii U which was in the classic style of gameplay. Golden Sun would be perfect for Nintendo to revive on the Switch, and it should remain like a the classic games but take influence from Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE.
Besides the fan support behind the game, there is also another reason the game would be great to revive. There is a very detailed battle system that would transition very well to modern gaming and HD resolution. The use of summons, and stacking your attacks for more offense was a great system and the psyenergy used outside of battle to interact with the world game a strong puzzle feel to the game as well. Golden Sun has an epic scale to it, and the summons alone were enough to put this on a high level. There was also a plot that actually has a lot going for it and there were likeable and engaging characters.
, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, ended on a cliffhanger and there is a strong demand to see where the series would go after that. Considering that each game became more epic in scale than the last one, a Golden Sun game in HD on the Switch would be absolutely amazing. Camelot has been somewhat low-key as of late and their last game, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash, was a greatly stripped down experience from their usual sports game standards. It felt like a rush job made to familiarize with HD gaming. Perhaps it was a test to see how well to do a full HD game. If that is the case, then hopefully a modern Golden Sun game is not an impossibility.
