The Golden Sun 1 and 2 lands on Nintendo Switch Online on January 17.
Nintendo revealed that on January 17, Game Boy Advance – Nintendo Switch Online would add Golden Sun and its follow-up, Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
Here are some details about the games:
Golden Sun
From the humble village of Vale to the mystical peaks of Mt. Aleph, the game sets magic-wielding young heroes Isaac, Garet, Ivan and Mia on a quest to prevent the ancient power of Alchemy from being unleashed on their home world of Weyard. Their adventure takes them through towns, caverns and dungeons as they face wily enemies, confounding puzzles and epic challenges that push their magical abilities (Psynergy) to their absolute limits. Along the way, they get help from mysterious creatures known as the Djinn, who aid the heroes in harnessing their Psynergy to unlock potent spells and unstoppable attacks.
Golden Sun: The Lost Age
A direct sequel to the first game, the Golden Sun: The Lost Age game presents a dramatic shift as the story now follows Felix—a young Adept (or magic user) who was the antagonist of the first game—on his mission to prove that Alchemy isn’t a destructive force, but one that could save Weyard after all. Forced to join Felix on his quest are Adepts Jenna and Sheba and the wizened scholar Kraden, all of whom struggle to keep Felix on task as powerful and enigmatic new challenges face them all.
Featuring cooperative* gameplay that allows for friends to join your merry (and sometimes not-so-merry) band, as well as turn-based combat, puzzle-solving, open-world exploration and RPG-inspired character upgrades, Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age are layered with unpredictable gameplay built around an engrossing and engaging story. The more you get to know Weyard, the more mysterious it gets. So, what do you say? Ready to fall under its spell? *Additional games, systems and/or accessories may be required for multiplayer mode. Game Boy Advance – Nintendo Switch Online is available as part of the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership.
