I’d LOVE a Golden Sun anime/show. If Avatar TLA/Korra can work, so can GS.Time to break the dour mood of this chat as of late with this awesome piece of work
Also don't forget the 20th anniversary celebration this August, keep sharing!A storyboard artist at Crystal Dynamics named Akiel Guzman made this fantastic animatic for Golden Sun: The Lost Age

Honestly I don't worry about that sort of thing. Regardless of when a GS revival were to happen we will move heaven and Weyard to get people to buy it.So I just had a... concerning thought.
As much as I want and would love to see a Golden Sun revival, I was thinking about what that would look like were that to happen. More specifically, if it were to happen in the Switch's lifetime, given that Camelot just revealed Mario Golf I imagine it would end up being near the end of the Switch's lifecycle. And I am just worried that we would end up in an all too familiar scenario where people are moving on to the next big thing and Golden Sun just sorta gets passed by due to circumstance. Anyone else worried about that being a possibility? I suppose I'm getting a bit ahead of myself since who even knows if it would ever happen anyway, but like if it were maybe it would almost be better to wait? But then they would probably just go back to making a new Tennis and Golf first, so I dunno how you would get around that.
Maybe the best chance is for the Switch Pro revision rumor to be revealed and for Golden Sun to be made for that. What does everyone else think could happen or how would you hope things go down in order to give the game/s the best chance at success?
Whatever Camelot's next project will be will probably arrive during the twilight years of the Switch. That is, unless Nintendo changes their operation and the Switch just becomes an iterative platform of continual upgrades for the foreseeable future. Assuming Nintendo will veer more towards business as usual, it comes down to how successful the successor is. Nintendo has an interesting pattern where success and underperformance tend to habitually fluctuate.So I just had a... concerning thought.

We might as well make our own Golden Sun Switch in the meantime

I haven't been around this site for a little while, but I had to come back here and make sure y'all saw this shirt. So good!Finally this awesome Golden Sun shirt is only available for less than six hours so if you want one you better pick it up fast
Be glad Nintendo has multiple cash cows full of milk and not just one. Be very, very glad.The recent news surrounding Toys For Bob makes me more grateful that at least Nintendo doesn't force all their studios to work on the same franchise and that we at least have some hope of a new GS.
Them taking a page from Activision would be horrible. On the other hand, they can't get away with doing that, since they have a system to keep afloat, and they can't do that with just one IP. Activision is just a third-party, their obligations are less.The recent news surrounding Toys For Bob makes me more grateful that at least Nintendo doesn't force all their studios to work on the same franchise and that we at least have some hope of a new GS.
Oh absolutely. I was just thinking in terms of the future health of the series in that hypothetical. Also my concerns have been somewhat assuaged (to the extent that it even matters right now given that nothing is probably happening anyway lol). Mostly I just feel like Nintendo has a track record of throwing out smaller titles to die at the end of a consoles lifespan with little to no advertisement and then being like well I guess people didn't want it.I think that most people here would take a Golden Sun at the end of the Switch's lifetime over no Golden Sun at all
But also I thought the hope was that the Switch would last long enough that even having GS after Tennis+Golf would not push it too close to the Switch's dying days
Ganondorf trying to cast a sleeping spell on Isaac with Jigglypuff's help? Oh no.

It's not just this decade. Golden Sun is basically a blip compared to everything Camelot has done under Nintendo, which is just Mario Golf and Tennis. (and Mobile Golf I guess).But it is funny to say that here specifically when Camelot has just been pumping out Mario games for a decade.
I haven’t been drawing anything new lately and finals week is approaching so I’m just gonna repost my Golden Sun Isaac art cause wow I draw him a lot pic.twitter.com/ZL1v5b86LL

Camelot is genuinely making some great leaps when it comes to HD development on the Switch! #MarioGolfSuperRush looks fun and has some fantastic looking environments! We trust they're capable of delivering a great looking new game/remake in the Golden Sun series🌞🙏#GoldenSun pic.twitter.com/EaIz6aN3nX

Imagine one of the last 2 reveals begins with the timeline of consoles and it stops on the Gameboy Advance, then zooms in through its screen and the trailer begins. You have a cast of Nintendo characters traveling and they meet a particular b̶a̶n̶a̶n̶a̶ ̶h̶a̶i̶r̶e̶d̶ boy… pic.twitter.com/4PsAjmmAYU

I'm wondering if the models/textures from the golf courses are meant to be shared with a Golden Sun game. They did reuse its engine for the GBA sports games, after all.To me, the RPG elements that can be found in both Mario Tennis and Mario Golf seem like pretty good indications that at the very least Camelot wants to make RPGs again. With the Switch's lifespan continuing to last, they have more than enough time to put together a new Golden Sun and get it out before another Dark Dawn situation happens.
Reusing assets is a core part of game developpment. All the environnement we saw are staples of jrpgs and a lot of those would likely be repurposed (aside from the obvious mario looking structures)I'm wondering if the models/textures from the golf courses are meant to be shared with a Golden Sun game.

Has Isaac discovered the "Silver Moon"?

Seriously, the way a lot of these Golf Courses can easily be GS areas with minor tweaks. Heck, Mario Golf GBA used Golden Sun assets. It's time for Golf to return the favor. Hehe.That new Mario Golf trailer really pleasantly surprised me. I'm not going to buy it at full price anytime soon but Camelot is really getting more ambitious with this game than Aces did and I have high hopes they can still deliver a good Golden Sun game with some help.Camelot is genuinely making some great leaps when it comes to HD development on the Switch! #MarioGolfSuperRush looks fun and has some fantastic looking environments!

Also Nazyrus did a good job envisioning his idea for a potential Isaac trailer that harkens to Golden Sun's GBA roots

I’m glad they finally showed off actual themed courses in Super Rush but idk it still lacks some of the creativity that past Mario Golf games had pic.twitter.com/K656ZR5H7v

Super solid points you brought there.It's my personal belief that Golden Sun could succeed, even at the end of the switch, because the trend for the switch has been increased levels of success across the entire board for basically all first-party titles. We have yet to hear a story of a major commercial failure. To that angle, Golden Sun's prospect of success increases significantly. Especially in the event that the old pokemon tradition of staying on the older platform for an extended duration of time, holds true once again.
I think it's also very safe to say that Nintendo is not abandoning the hybrid model ever again, and Switch will have a nonstandard life span. Supporting one software ecosystem is drastically easier than supporting two, this is a lesson that Sony and Nintendo both were forced to learn. We have further evidence of this from Nvidia's comments on the nature of their Nintendo partnership, suggesting it'd last decades. Simply put, Nintendo needs very high-end but also affordable mobile tech, and Nvidia needs a horse in the console race, in that regard, switch and the potential extended family it likely entails, is a dream come true for both companies involved at that level. Backward compatibility will be a certainty too, as it's something that a lot of the existing Tegra series chips already have, so we could also benefit there. So even if we do move on, it's safe to say the general concept will be the same. Heck they may just play it as straight as possible and simply call the follow-up "Switch 2"
Another realm we have to consider is, what if Nintendo adopts the Sony and Microsoft model of enhancing end-of-life switch 1 title's for Switch 2? Several games that may have been hurt by being the end of PS4, such as Ghosts of Tsushima, benefitted from having patches to be overall better experienced on PS5. Which significantly helped said game's legs at the market. Golden Sun Switch may very well receive a similar kind of treatment, imagine a locked 60FPS and a DLSS 4K picture on an amazing-looking Golden Sun? It could very well be a showpiece title at that scale. Nintendo could then afford to only launch with only one or two major games on the next system, and rely on some patches for older stuff to bring it up to snuff, Golden Sun may very well be in a perfect window of opportunity there.
I just want to see Golden Sun to be a thing again, I don't care if its because of Camelot or Monolith Soft or Grezzo or whoever as long as it is done well.Is it terrible that I would almost rather another studio like Monolith took over for GS? Like, I would of course want the Takahashi bros leading it and whatnot still. Gotta have the creative visionaries involved, but especially if they make the jump to 3D like it was originally going to be on the 64, I would be more confident in an overall studio with more experience in that regard.
tbh tho, I may also just be scarred by how Pokemon development has been going recently... lol
To be fair, Dark Dawn was in 3D and it's not like the team has never worked in 3D or HD development before - they're the ones making the Sports games.Is it terrible that I would almost rather another studio like Monolith took over for GS?

true. I just meant more like 3D games for home console. Which seems a bit different to me. Obviously they’ve done the sports titles, but it seems like a full blown RPG would be a fair amount different than that.To be fair, Dark Dawn was in 3D and it's not like the team has never worked in 3D or HD development before - they're the ones making the Sports games.
Going to hold my breath until the game comes out to see if this is actually a good Story Mode. Both World Tour and Mario Tennis Aces had a bunch of activities to do (latter even had a boss rush added in), and neither of them were RPGs.Camelot clearly isn't done with RPGs yet.
It's likely due to how they had to build the game around Speed Golf this time around, which means everything has to be connected. A lot of courses have Mario elements at least (similar to how Advance Tour added Mario elements to the basic courses postgame). Still hoping to see them remake the Toadstool Tour courses for future DLC.What this user said, a lot of the courses in Super Rush don't have that "Mario Touch" compared to the other Golf games.
Both the GBC and GBA Mario Golfs had RPG elements. Golden Sun's engine was even modified for Mario Golf Advance Tour.I mean, did one of the earlier Mario Golf's since the Gameboy game actually have some rpg element? If not, then I wouldn't count on it. Leveling up counts overall, and the two Gameboy Tennis/Golf games were part-rpg intentionally. But only a small part.
Albeit, that's before Golden Sun. I don't think they've had rpg elements in Golf/Tennis since?
Honestly, I doubt a Switch Pro would have many exclusive games (and probably not Golden Sun if it did). I'd compare it more to the PS4 Pro - some games run better on the Pro system, but still run on the base system.On another note, if Golden Sun comes out on the Switch Pro instead, really hope that Nintendo will be able to allow OG Switch owners to play it through cloud gaming. If not, sales will unfortunately be cannibalized.
100%. The next model is an upgrade, not a next gen type of jump situation where you will end with 2 separate different libraries. You will just be able to play things better, and the library will still be the same on both current and new model.Honestly, I doubt a Switch Pro would have many exclusive games (and probably not Golden Sun if it did).

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it won't have too many exclusives. And if it does, it likely wouldn't be for a long time.Honestly, I doubt a Switch Pro would have many exclusive games (and probably not Golden Sun if it did).
