Game Boy Advance cult classic RPGs Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age will debut on the Game Boy Advance – Nintendo Switch Online library this month, providing players old and new the opportunity to dive into this beloved series.
From the humble village of Vale to the mystical peaks of Mt. Aleph, Golden Sun 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.
A direct sequel to Golden Sun, The Lost Age 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.
Both games feature co-op gameplay, turn-based combat, puzzle solving and open-world exploration. They will be available on Jan 16. Nintendo Switch Online is a paid subscription service. You can sign up here.
