Golden Sun 3 for Nintendo DS?

Here's an image that I just came across....

Could this be a third installment for the Nintendo DS? Sure looks it, and there was clear data in the second one. I sure hope that it wouldn't just be used to unlock the whole soundtrack in the battle arena... 😛

Here's me crossing my fingers for an announcement soon... 😄

Oh holy hell, yes! Golden Sun with touch control? Great characters, great script, great music, AWESOME psynergy/djinn system...

Anyone who can read Japanese, or has found a website with the subtitle translated? I wanna know what it's called...

I think someone on gamefaqs said that translated to something else entirely.

It's Golden Sun, though. Same logo style, you can see the Lost Age cartridge, same envelope sprite...

I know, but someone posted it on the GS:TLA board a while ago and it was proven to not be it.

Link(s)?

My Japanese is pretty damn rusty, but the logo reads (something) kin no taiyou, which translates literally to 'sun of gold'...or Golden Sun.

Can't quite make out the kana underneath, though. I think the first part says "breaks of" but I'm not sure.

Plus on the lower screen, The Lost Age's GBA cartridge is there, which I assume is loading clear data onto the DS card. It's pretty convincing to me. Logo, cartridge, lighthouse, basic background of the second one. Plus the rusty translation..

If you're not a member of GameFAQs forum you can't view it anyway even if I did provide a link, but I'll go see if it's still there.

It got deleted, I guess the mods are keeping the board small since the game is so old now. The topic was called something like, "Is this Golden Sun 3?" The picture was posted and it went on for a few hundred pages, until someone pulled something from the Camelot forums about how it was a photoshop picture. It continued until it got locked for 500-or close to 500 posts.

This image looks real enough to me..and even if not, I bet you anything that GS3 will be announced soon enough. The first game was awesome, even though I don't have the second one 🙁

Two is A LOT better, go buy it. It also has one of the biggest pain in the ass (secret) boss's in RPG history.

Dear god, I can't believe that guy... need either the perfect strategy, or the more incredible dumb luck... and yet that made him all the more satisfying when finished off.

Definitly the most difficult battle I've ever done in any RPG I've played.

In the subtitles I see Something and then "...tsu Hisu no..." and then something else.

I actually played the first Golden son and couldn't get past the boss battle at the end I'm assuming on that light house. First you battle them at the same time and then once you defeat them, I can't remember if they morph into something else or another boss comes out, like a big creature or dragon or something, but I could never get past the second boss that would come out. So I never got number 2, which I wanted to play badly. I liked the game overall.

is it comprehensible.....

"Ougon no Taiyou"

for the katakana I see "Aresshisu no" something

but its honestly a bit too blurry to be sure

I never played a golden sun game.. but they do look fun... do you think it'll be multiplayer? 😖

'ougon' is how you read those kanji together? I wasn't sure on that, though I did manage to look up the first one to get a full translation.

The subtitle right under the title looks like "burekkusu no (something)" to me.

Now that I look at again it again.

I think I see "Ashitsu hisu no......" and something else.

Wish it was clearer. 😬

is it comprehensible.....

I see a ton of lines. Because I can't read Japanese. 😛

InnerRise, I started The Lost Age while I was still stuck on the final battle in the first (bought both at the same time). TLA has a summary that explains everything anyway, so you don't miss anything aside from sending cleared file data.

Man that sucks.

Thanks.

I wish I had known this a long time ago.

I'm too far gone to get back into the game now though.

cry

I'd also like to add though that there was another part that got me stuck really bad in the first one.

It wasn't even a battle.

It was the ship part where you go on the ship to sail across to the place and I didn't know what to do. I would get on the ship and walk around and it wouldn't set sail.

I ended up leaving the ship and revisiting almost all of the places I had been to if not all of them.

Then I get back to the ship only to discover there was a certain room, I think the captain's room, that I needed to walk into to get the game to progress and get the ship to start moving on to the next part.

I felt so dumb, especially since I was about to quit the game over that.

😕

Come on. It could happen to anybody people.

I'm still Just Too Good and you know it!

😒

I'd sell my soul for a Golden Sun 3... Best hand held RPG and definitely in my top 5 for every console.

I prefer 2 as well. Nicer playable characters. Felix is sexy.
