Back during E3, everyone got all excited because they thought some screens for a new Golden Sun game had leaked onto the intertron. Of course, it was fake as we soon learned why someone would play with our emotions in that way. Shame on them.But, hope returns, as in an interview with Game Informer, Camelot reveals that Nintendo has told them that they want another game in the series. And, like a mob boss running shop on your neighborhood, you best listen to them. Camelot said "We have to do it! Not just that we have to do it, but we want to do it. Nintendo has asked us to please make it. But at the same time we haven't gotten around to making it. We're not really sure why (laughs)...One of the reasons that we haven't made golden sun is because there are so many fans of the game and we don't want to do something half-assed. We want to give it the time it deserves."
While we appreciate the care on their part to create a quality game, one deserving of the Golden Sun name, we think 4 years has been plenty of time to come up with a third installment.

Nice! I loved the first Golden Sun, but I lost the second one before I was able to play it... does this mean I need to go buy the second one (again)?

I didn't really like Golden Sun, even though I bought a GBA for it. I want Camelot to make a new SRPG, Shining Force style (though not SF, as Sega has run it into the ground).

Well, they could make another save transfer thing, so you may need get and beat Golden Sun 2 to transfer yur data. (Slot-2 anyone? :) )

That's awesome. I beat GS and was about half way into Golden Sun 2 when I 'lost' it at a friends house. Three years later (last weekend), I find it in one of his tool drawers with my save still on it! I was excited... and now I'll have the data for 3 when it comes out!

The Golden Sun games were pretty good. If they actually make the game challenging so that you have to use "strategy" in battles it will be awesome. That was the only complaint I had about the previous game. You could pretty much hit A a bunch of times and win most of the fights in that game. I never actually finished the game b/c I lost interest due to the lack of a challenge.

Four years for a Golden Sun is alright, but I think ten years for a new Shining Force strategy title is even longer. They mention Shining Force in the interview, though, not really in the same light as Golden Sun. Oh well.

I know that this sounds like a bad idea, but considering the huge sucess of the DS and mild sucess of the first Golden Sun, maybe they should give it another chance with a DS remake. It worked with Final Fantasy. After all, the game is fantastic.

A GS3 would be a dream come true. I've beaten Golden sun and The Lost Age about eight time each so a new one would be awesome. I hope that it will be on the DS.

YAAYYAYAY
lol seriously though, the GS series, in my imo is the best RPG series (exculding FF cus its on so many platforms) for gameboy. i mean lost age was dam good and i was hungry as hell for more. i mean that's the only game i have played more than 5 times besides chrono trigger (21 times no joke, best rpg imo). im real hyped up about this because i just bought my ds lite.

I would buy a DS two-in-one if they added a bit of bonus content as well.

Oh wow...wow...wow!
If this comes out i'll scream and beg my parents for money. Just kidding, I have my own.
I hope it's on Ds...
i've got gotten my DS to buy pokemon pearl, which got incredibly boring after I beat the league.
I had lost all hope in the third sequel of GS. However, I have my GS2 at home. When I read this, the fire has reignited in my soul again!
Oh sheer bliss! let there be a felix in this one! Or even some newer better characters! new Psynergy, and for god's sake, some sort of pairing expect mernadixsaturos.
