Golden Sun DS Impressions so far

Tap the touchscreen and your character will jog to the location of your choice. Or, use the cross pad.

The rest is a hands-off demonstration that showcases how good Golden Sun's transition to the Nintendo DS and into the third-dimension looks. Golden Sun DS on the E3 showfloor is essentially a series of elemental summons, showing off a half-dozen or so dual-screen filling beasts and deities raining damage down upon foes.

The Djinn system that made the first two Golden Sun games so replayable is back. As we watched battles unfold, a collection of Djinni danced about the top screen. On the bottom, our AI controlled trio of heroes did battle.

Golden Sun DS looks to include some familiar summons. Extended cinematic attacks from Atalanta and Ramses looked sharp. Some of those summons look have been given a redesign, as I'm not sure if one was supposed to be Tiamat or Procne. But these summons illustrate how pretty the DS iteration look, so they were highlighted prominently.

Visually, the game looks lush, as the demo panned across a series of environments, showing off bright foliage and rocky mountain passes. Fans of the visual style of the GBA version will appreciate what Camelot Software Planning has done with the 3D design.
 
Golden sun 1 and 2 were the only games that got me addicted enough that i failed my math class (never failed a class ever again though....almost failed thanks to ToS but no matter XD) so i wonder if this one will affect my GPA like the older ones
 
Looks good I cant wait for this! its been ages since the last Golden Sun *ironic the Lost Age and I said ages yeah that was lame* anyways do you know if its a continuation from the other two story's or is it a whole new journey?
 
DAY 1 BABY Day 1 BABY! My most anticipated DS game, this. Those many long years of waiting and begging paid off and we are getting it THIS year, not 2011, not 2012, but THIS year, zomg, this has made my week!

New trailer with a little bonus.
 
he "Doing Things that Should Have Been Done Long Ago" department at Camelot Software Planning has come up with something brilliant for Golden Sun: Dark Dawn, something you've seen before in other contexts: hyperlinks.

To help fill new players in on the Golden Sun lore, and to help returning players remember the people, places, and events from those GBA games, the dialogue in Dark Dawn is peppered with links like the one above (the "Tap!" graphic is there because that was the first such link to appear). Tap and an encyclopedia entry for that entity appears on the top screen. It's also saved so you can go back through them later. Who were the Warriors of Vale? What's a Sol Sanctum? The game is free to refer back to this stuff, secure in the knowledge that you can figure it all out.

Now that it's been done, all games with lots of characters, or lots of backstory, should implement this immedlately.
