It’s very interesting that there are several references of Golden Sun since Aces came out. It shows that they do care for it. Now they just need to see that demand is there. Unless they know now and have already gone to work?
It's hard to know. Ideally I'd like to believe the ballot results were not only for Sakurai but that he shared those with Nintendo to take into account. If that's true and Nintendo kept close eye on everything that happened since last year with our Fandom then hopefully they already let them know and have taking the matter on their hands (which could be given we haven't gotten any updates on what is Camelot working in). Sadly, we will only know once they announce something
I prefer remakes. I think we could see a lot of interesting new takes on the locations and visuals of the original games, and we could get some improvements on gameplay and dialogue. There could be more games with Isaac too, but hopefully we’d also see Matthew again and maybe new worlds using the same mechanics as Weyard’s alchemy somewhere down the road.
What leaks are you speaking of? I was very skeptical of leaks at first, but am now believing them more after all what happened...
Why not all of that? Make a first Golden Sun remake that’s basically the first game plus TLA. Then make a second game which preludes, includes and continues on Dark Dawn?
To be honest I can't point you to a specific leak (because I haven't paid that much attention) but I've seen a number of different Youtubers talking about these characters as "leaks".
It has been too long since that cliffhanger, it wouldn't be the best idea to just retake it from there as if it hasn't been almost a decade since that so I think the best we can get is a remake that includes the first two or at least a remaster of those, helps people to fall in love with story, helps bring in new people to the Fandom and also boosts Isaac's and Felix's popularity even further.
Felix is my favorite GS character besides Alex so that’d be cool.
A remake would be better. First, because you already don't need writers and artists because you already have the plot, the dialogues and the design of the towns, characters and monsters (obviously, they would need to hire some artist to do a "remake" of characters designs, but the designs are there, so they wouldn't have to create new things from the scratch). And second, because with a remake they can introduce some elements in the story and the plot in order to reconnect with Dark Dawn. Add some mention in the library of Lemuria about some "new" civilization of Dark Dawn, add some random dialogue in one or two NPC mentioning some town that appears in DD, add some cutscene after the end of TLA of how Wyvern is starting to change and the wall is appearing slowly... Things like that can help a lot to reduce some criticism and can add new plots for future sequels or prequels.
DoomGuy and Ryu Hayabusa were mentioned in one of the first "leaks" post Joker announcement which mentioned the characters of the season pass were Joker, Erdrick, Steve and the other of the above. That leak was already proved false when some of the Joker moveset didn't match with the current one, but that leak was the one which mentioned Doomguy as a possible character, being the reason of the bandwagon.
So does that mean there aren't any more plausible rumours of Doomguy being in the fighter pass? Ryu Hayabusa is the only real "leak" character at the moment?
About Doomguy, yes and not. There's still that statement of some employer of Bethesda who said they spoke with Nintendo about Smash. IMO I think that statement was more on the vibes of "Hey, I want to play Smash!" rather than discussing the addition of a new character from bethesda but who knows.
True I would just rather have an immediate follow up to The Lost Age since I think there was more that could have been done before the timeskip. Like, the immediate aftermath of Alchemy being reintroduced to the world and how the world changes.
TBH, I kinda prefer Felix over Isaac myself so this would be a welcome addition. Hopefully he's an Echo Fighter with very slightly altered stats from Isaac. Like, make him just a little bit stronger but a bit slower. Enough that only competitive Smash players will know the difference lol.
True but like the properties of Felix' psynergy can be a bit different from that of Isaac's. Maybe his Move Side Special (assuming something akin to SSF2) goes really fast but can't be controlled instead of Isaac's that goes slower but can be used to attack. Give his other specials like Gaia, Ragnok, Growth, etc. their own properties to distinguish himself. That's not even to account for the height difference between the two similar to Marthcina in Smash 4.
A remaster of the first two games. Update the look but keep the feel of Golden Sun, Put the games into a single cartridge, Add in new content like X1D is doing, Etc. I think it's been too long since the Dark Dawn cliffhanger that most people just don't care anymore and so we could also retcon that out and continue with Isaac's story. Plus from what I can gather more people care about Isaac than Matthew. I feel that would be the best course of action.
Could you point me towards that Sol Sanctum interview? I would like to read it!
Felix showing up in the middle of an Isaac reveal would be incredible. Imagine the reactions
Golden Sun fans: "Holy Crap, this is amazing thank you Sakurai you mad genius!"
Literally how it would go down and one of the reasons I have always pushed for Isaac instead of Felix. We took a lot of time to make Isaac a recognizable face
Yeah come to think of it, the DD cliffhanger is almost a decade old now. It's pretty surreal when you think we've spent longer between DD and now then we did TLA to DD. Maybe if this were like 2012-2015 we could have gotten a sequel but people probably don't even care about that game anymore lol.
Responded, I like these kind of polls where you don't have to just put down one or two characters.
Yeah but between getting a remake and then a new version of DD followed by a follow up to that remake it'll be like a decade almost lol.
Or I’d be okay if we got remakes and then they just went to a different direction.
I understand the reference, and I actually knew the character without requiring a trip to Know Your Meme.
I don't see why a remake couldn't keep things 2D, or at least 3D with the same perspective.
First (and only time AFAIK) time we get to verbally hear actual words come from Isaac, and not just a bunch of screaming from his ATs.
I'd really like to see them try to go for a SNES/GBA-style with the higher detail modern technology affords. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think that's something a big studio has tried out.
