    This is just a suggestion I had that might create a little more interest in the Golden Sun games, but only if Nintendo pulls through.

    It's nothing overly dramatic; but sometimes, companies re-release their games, if they feel that there is a large market out there that has not tried out the games, but would be willing to buy it.

    And when would be the ideal time? (This is a trivial suggestion, and probably wouldn't affect things much, but...)

    How about the GBA line of Player's Choice titles?

    Just consider it. Both games, budget price, and even the DS can play them (which has been overhwelminly successful).

    What does it take for a title to become Player's Choice, and do you think that the GS games would have a chance?

      Oh, yeah, many gamers feel that GS is the best RPG for the GBA. It's only right that it would be in a "Players Choice" pack.

      I'd be seriously insulted if it WASN'T there. :)

        I think it becomes Player's Choice if it sells over a million copies, but has almost totaly stopped selling afterwards. Yeah, I guess it's possible for GS to be a PC. It would be cool.

          Yeah, I think so as well. GS would most likely make it, and as Wind Dude already stated, I'd be insulted if it didn't.

            I can hope, but I'm still quite skeptical given the decline in attention paid to GS over the years.

              IF we somehow brought it up, like at Camp Hyrule (I registered), maybe we can ask the Nintendoods... Exactly what it takes.

                Well, even better than what GL said, if it does become a players choice, then it will deffinately get a lot more attention, and in turn, make it more likely to have a GS3 on our hands. But if I remember right, Players Choice has only been on the GC so far....

                  No, there were THREE(or was it four) Player's Choice games for the GBA. All three(or was it four) of them were Mario games.

                    You can buy them used for like $10 each....But I suppose its all about the publicity, not the price.

                      As I said, I'll try and ask Nintendo at CH... But yeah, we'd have ahuigher chance of GS3 if they made it a player's choice.

                        Player's Hit Titles

                        Current:
                        * Super Mario Advance
                        * Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
                        * Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
                        Announced:
                        * Pokémon FireRed
                        * Pokémon LeafGreen
                        * Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2
                        * The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past/Four Swords
                        * Mario Kart Super Circuit


                        All of these are hit titles. I'd expect the GS games to appear in the next mass of Player's Choice titles.

                          So would I. It is not only the best RPG for the GBA, it is one of the best rated GBA titles, even though it might not be the best selling.
