I never really thought of it honestly. Since the first Golden Sun and Dark Dawn mostly take place on the continent of Angara, there's a lot of potential here. If it links Dark Dawn better into the previous games, I'm all for it.
If we're getting just one more fighter, I doubt they'll put in the resources to make a stage+remixes, which Isaac would need.
Felix would be the better echo choice, just because he's more visually distinct from Isaac. The Lost Age being preferred over Dark Dawn is a bonus.
I would believe they would if they intend to start making remakes. The thing is they have tons they can work with for the remakes.

just reminds me of how much untapped potential Golden Sun has to be something amazing. I wish Camelot would have been more motivated to make more since knowing that Nintendo actually wants more GS and have asked for more, but the Takahashi Bros are like, “Hmm, we’ll think about it.”. Here’s hoping they are a lot more motivated now that the Switch is a thing (something they predicted and wanted back in 2007).
If Isaac becomes an anime swordman character, all he needs is to change his hair to blue and then he's in, no doubt !
Uh, yeah, about that...
You mean he already is one?
Yeah, about that...
Blood on their hands? What does that mean?
It's a fancy way of saying they've done wrong.
lol, didn't Funimation also want Goku in Smash?
Yes that would be a character people at Funimation would want.
Don't think so. Nintendo's been quiet (probably saving up stuff for E3, fingers crossed for Golden Sun however unlikely that is), and Smash rumors are back to circulating the same few characters afaik. There has been talk of a potential secret 11th fighter based on url numbers on the official website, but nothing concrete and it could just as easily be a mii costume or nothing at all (I'm inclined to believe it's nothing).
While this isn't necessarily Golden Sun related, there was a recent article where an ex Nintendo designer states that F-Zero isn't dead, just hard to bring back without a grand idea. Which isn't new info since this was said a while back about wanting an innovative idea to bring the series back. Though I like that this debunks so many fan theories about why fans think F-Zero hasn't made a return. Things that commonly get said in regards to Golden Sun.
Sounds like we need to have a talk with one of the Golden Sun devs...
The last time the Takahashi brothers spoke on Golden Sun was back in 2012 when they talked about how difficult it was to work on a continuous rpg story, wanting a breather, and that if enough fans demanded it of them that they'd make another one but to give them time to work on the story. I remember years back an article where Miyamoto says he can't think of new ideas for another F-Zero game, so seeing this reiterated in 2021, it's a bit of a blow but I like it has nothing to do with Nintendo interference and more about the developer feeling there's nothing new to offer.
Be cautious taking these statements at face value because Nintendo remains a business and what drives business is money. But devs aren't going to come out and say "it'll come back when we think it'll sell better". Devs don't talk like that because it's uncouth.
I think this is the main kicker. Look at the Metroid series for example. Nintendo heavily pushed it in the 2002-2007 era, then slowed down once they noticed sales were dropping for both the Prime games and 2D Metroid. Other M was their new idea, and it basically flopped, which resulted in a hiatus for the series. Samus Returns met sales expectations, so they are likely hoping it'll be the same for Prime 4. If that does poorly, I won't be surprised if there is another hiatus for the series.
This does bring a smile to my face.
Felix’s unamused face whilst brushing off the leaves on his head is the best part.
