Next week, Nintendo’s Switch Online + Expansion Pack members are in for a treat as they get the chance to relive the magic of two classic Game Boy Advance RPG games – Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age. Developed by the renowned Camelot Software Planning, these games are widely regarded as some of the best RPGs of all time. With their deep and immersive storylines, captivating gameplay, and engaging characters, they have earned a special place in the hearts of gamers. And now, they can be enjoyed once again on the Nintendo Switch.
The Golden Sun game takes players on an epic quest to save their home world of Weyard from the ancient power of Alchemy. Set in the humble village of Vale and leading to the mystical peaks of Mt. Aleph, players assume the roles of magic-wielding young heroes: Isaac, Garet, Ivan, and Mia. Together, they must navigate through towns, caverns, and dungeons, facing formidable enemies and solving intricate puzzles. The game pushes their magical abilities, known as Psynergy, to the absolute limit. Along the way, they enlist the help of enigmatic creatures called Djinn, who grant them access to powerful spells and unstoppable attacks.
The sequel, Golden Sun: The Lost Age, introduces players to Felix, a former antagonist from the first game. Felix embarks on a mission to prove that Alchemy can be a force for good, and that it has the potential to save Weyard. Joining him on this journey are fellow Adepts Jenna and Sheba, as well as the wise scholar Kraden. Together, they face new challenges and struggle to stay focused on their mission. The game offers a dramatic shift in perspective and presents an engaging and intriguing storyline that keeps players on the edge of their seats.
Golden Sun and The Lost Age offer much more than just a compelling story. With co-op gameplay that allows friends to join the adventure, players can embark on this magical journey together. The turn-based combat system adds a strategic element to battles, while the puzzle-solving aspects challenge players’ problem-solving skills. The open-world exploration provides a sense of freedom, as players uncover the secrets of Weyard. And with RPG-inspired character upgrades, there is always room for growth and development.
Nintendo has confirmed that players will have the ability to transfer data across from Golden Sun to The Lost Age, just as in the original versions of the games. This feature adds an extra layer of continuity and immersion for players who want to carry their progress seamlessly from one game to the next. Additionally, Switch Online + Expansion Pack subscribers will be able to engage in online battles through the Switch Online service. This opens up new opportunities for competitive play and adds a social aspect to the gaming experience.
The re-release of Golden Sun and The Lost Age on the Nintendo Switch is a nostalgic journey that allows players to relive the magic of these beloved RPG games. With their captivating storylines, engaging characters, and immersive gameplay, these games have stood the test of time. Whether you are a long-time fan or a newcomer to the series, these games offer an unforgettable adventure filled with mystery, magic, and countless hours of enjoyment.
