it would be better if samus was still like 7 feet tall and buff but we can't have nice things

Just do like I do and pretend the reimagining of Samus as a realdoll never happened. She'll always be 7 feet tall and buff in my head and I refuse to hear otherwise :colbert:

There's an atrocious amount of words, none of the characters are memorable in the slightest, and the combat system is nothing special. I legit don't get the appeal for it other than nostalgia which did not hold up when I played it again several years ago.


I'd settle for just having another Metroid game period.

Federation Force doesn't count :argh:

I mean the characters are pretty faceless, that's true, but I quite enjoyed the combat. A bunch of the weapons were really cool, the art and music are absolutely beautiful, and there are a few really memorable boss fights (For me, at least)

A friend of mine bought the Italian version of Golden Sun. It's great for reading practice.

I do the same thing kind of with Pokemon games now. I play one in English, and one in Italian.

Yeah, the only thing Golden Sun ever had going for it was that it was the first JRPG on GBA (or one of the first) and it's pretty mediocre even in that small pond.

Yeah this is very true. And once Square started porting all the Final Fantasy games and even other RPGs series showing up like Breath of Fire 1 & and Phantasy Star 1 - 3...it was kinda too late for Golden Sun.

I actually sort of liked the combat in Dark Dawn better because they nerfed the big summons and you didn't spend the whole game doing the awkward "summon djinn but don't lose all your healing abilities" dance.

I guess I'm just weird or something but I like Golden Sun more than all of those. Breath of Fire is pretty good too though.

I legitimately didn't even know Dark Dawn existed. I played the first 2 games and then somehow entirely missed out on the third one even existing
