Golden Sun: Dark Dawn exists

Here’s a question. You are Nintendo. You decide to make a sequel to a much beloved niche franchise, and put it on the best selling console in the world, the DS. You then do not publicize this game at all, to the point where gamers who *loved* the original games have no idea that the sequel is coming out in less than a month.

Apparently, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn is Nintendo’s golden egg, that it’s going to use to fight piracy. “This game no one bought that we didn’t publicize at all that you all were excited for at E3 didn’t sell because it was pirated!” No, no, Nintendo, your game won’t sell well because I have had to inform numerous people of its existence.

So, yes. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn does in fact exist. It is an RPG, for the Nintendo DS, and is coming out at the end of November. It is already out in Japan. It looks pretty exciting, if the above video is any indication, if very traditional. Of course, both the Golden Suns were fantastic, so that’s no problem. Thank you. This public service announcement is not brought to you by Nintendo, who will put this game out in a crowded holiday season to die.
