    At their E3 2010 press conference event, Nintendo just announced that the newly named "Golden Sun: Dark Dawn" will be released for the holidays 2010. More information coming soon.

    The trailer showed gameplay footage including towns, dungeons (psynergy using DS stylus), and the 3d battle system. The story takes place one generation after the events of the original games featuring the descendants of the original characters.

    UPDATE: Video of the trailer: http://www.youtube.c...h?v=cgDUxB3hkz4 Now HD from Gametrailers: http://www.gametrail...lden-sun/101507

    UPDATE #2: IGN has some screenshots and art that was not in the trailer today.

    UPDATE #3: Info has hit the official Nintendo site (includes trailer and screenshots):

    Quote

    A classic role-playing game branches out with a new look, countless adventures and heroic battles. The game picks up 30 years after the first two games in the series left off. At the end of Golden Sun: The Lost Age, the heroes succeeded in bringing the world-healing power of the Golden Sun back to the world of Weyard. In the years since, the immense power of the Golden Sun has changed nearly everything. Continents have shifted. New countries have emerged. New species have appeared. But the world is now imperiled by a new threat. Psynergy Vortexes, which suck the elemental Psynergy from both the land and power-wielding Adepts alike, are spreading across the world. The new generation of heroes - the children of those from the previous games - are drawn into the mystery behind the vortexes, as they cross a chaotic world that is succumbing to a new evil.

    Features:
    • Amazing graphics and beautifully animated summoning abilities that span both Nintendo DS screens let players experience the game like never before.
    • The story takes place 30 years after the final events of the second game, when the Golden Sun Effect occurred. The main characters are the descendents of the previous game's heroes.
    • Intuitive touch-screen control has been implemented throughout the game, controlling character movements and the release of Psynergy - magical abilities with powerful effects over people and the environment. Touch control also streamlines battle commands and gives players a stronger tactile connection to the action on the screen.
    • Players will explore a vast and beautifully rendered world where they will find many treasures, encounter dangerous creatures and manipulate objects blocking their path. Players will also hunt for and collect Djinn, mysterious elemental creatures used to summon powerful spirits in battle.

        This news just made my entire freakin' day. I seriously cannot wait for December, this is the most excited I've been in a while. We've all been waiting for this announcement for 6 years, and it's finally here.

        Edit: AAAAND we're getting new members already! Welcome, Super Luigi!

            My mind is blown right now. Absolutely far exceeded what I was hoping for. The premise, the new psynergy and summons, the knowledge now that this is a new generation following the previous games...

            Bravo, Camelot. Bravo, Nintendo. You've reminded me why I adore the Golden Sun games.

                Did anyone catch the names? Apparently the protagonist is 'Matthew'?

                  Despite my efforts to record the live stream, I'm afraid I wasn't able to get a good video. As soon as Nintendo posts it or it hits Youtube, I'll be sharing the link.

                    Well they clearly know a good name when they see it.

                      God damnit Camelot, I LOVE YOU!

                      New summons, full use of the DS' controls for field psynergy, and the battle system is looking really good. Oh man, the holiday season won't come soon enough.

                            Although it does look pretty amazing, I have to admit I was expecting a little more. However, I guess we will be getting more during the coming days.

                              Absolutely agree. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with some new material but come on, we have waited more than a YEAR for a 2 minute trailer?

                              By the way, does anyone have the trailer including Reggie's speech? The only thing I heard him say was 'so let's fix that right now'. Probably he was talking about keeping us in a dark dawn for so long...

                                  The most subtle but most significant news is the release date. We've waited over a year to know that our long-sought Golden Sun: Dark Dawn is now being released this year.

                                  We're going to learn a ton in the next few months, over and above what we learned today about the storyline and characters.

                                    Well, it wasn't as exciting as last year for sure. I'm withholding judgement until I get more info.

                                    I'm not exceptionally hot on the 3D-graphics either. Sprites definitely looked cleaner and a more natural presentation. However, keep in mind that these graphics in the trailer were on a big screen at the E3 conference. The game will look much nicer on an actual DS system in its native resolution screen.
                                    GL post needs to be reiterated for everyone who is a bit underwhelmed by the graphics.

                                        http://www.youtube.c...h?v=PrWAf583cyc has a bit more at the beginning.

                                        Updated with a link to IGN that has some interesting new screenshots. http://media.ds.ign....592/imgs_1.html

                                          Haha, I've actually been lurking around here for a couple years, but just reading rather than posting. This announcement, I just had to post about though :joy:

                                          Here's hoping you stick around!

                                          And boromi just informed me that the character names in the battle screens appear to be 'Matthew', 'Karis', and 'Terrell'.

                                          Well they clearly know a good name when they see it.

                                          Well don't you feel honored! Ha.

                                            The only other Matthew I remember in a game was in Fire Emblem. He says something like 'You're Matthew right? I'm Matthew.' It confused me the first time I played it.

                                              The IGN screenshots clearly show a 4 person party, so I assume they are doing the same thing as in the past and withholding information about the 4th character until near/at release.

                                              Now GameTrailers has the official trailer up in HD: http://www.gametrail...lden-sun/101507

                                                  It could just be a character who's there temporarily in the game.

                                                    Is it just me or is the IGN vid taking really long to load?

                                                            The fourth character's name seems to be 'Crown', also according to the screenshots.

                                                              Absolutely agree. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with some new material but come on, we have waited more than a YEAR for a 2 minute trailer?

                                                              I keep saying this but, as far as info goes, don't expect too much. Golden Sun is a great game, it's pretty popular, but it's not one of Nintendo's big franchises. It isn't going to have as much presence as other games.

                                                              Don't expect to get much too much more info about this game other than this trailer Looks fantastic though, the graphics are better than I was hoping.

                                                                Anyway, I just can't wait until the rest of this week. Hopefully Camelot made the demo for E3, just like the year before. :joy:

                                                                Screens look sweet, but sadly - they're fabricated as hell.

                                                                  I'm glad they went 3d actually. I'm excited for the cinematic possibilities with cut scenes, as Camelot games have always looked good. I expect them to follow in Phatom Hourglass and Spirit Tracks' footsteps with this one.

                                                                  Glad to hear it's coming out. The lack of news made me worry it was vaporware.
