All this stuff about Golden Sun recently has inspired me to start playing GS1 and Dark Dawn again...alternating between the two. After I finish GS1, I'll be playing TLA from beginning to end!
@@BIastProcX Omg yes! You will never regret it! U will only be triggered that u didnt play it before! And dont lose ur hopes when u dont knoe what to do next, just watch a walkthrough video, they are all great!!
thanks for denying disney lucasfilms veil of lies and loving Star Wars as Lucas in envisioned: as a story of the harbinger of truth facing down an empire of lies
Funny anecdote I have about this game... When I was like 12 or something, I picked up some GBA beat 'em up from a used games bin at EB Games. Took it home, and I guess the person who traded it in made one Hell of a mistake, because Golden Sun was in there instead. I was going to take it back to the store, but decided to give it a try. I only heard the first 5 seconds of the Vale theme and immediately adored it, and I loved it more and more as the game went on. To this day, it's one of my favorite games. An addictive, original, well-designed and all-around fantastic RPG that will definitely stand the test of time; yet it's the charm that truly makes the game truly amazing. TL;DR: Best nostalgia trip ever!
I had something similar happen to me with Lufia. I was trying to rent some action game when I was 10 years old and ended up with Lufia and didn't realize it until I was home. Pretty sure that's where my rpg addiction began...
David Vardy I really need to get around to playing the Lufia games. As far as addictions go...well, we can do a lot worse than being addicted to RPG's. I don't think it's even possible to make an objective list of the best RPG's out there -- there are just way too many good ones. It's like crack that teaches you to appreciate math, really. :P
Sire Azmodan they're getting pretty old now man but they're timeless for sure. I definitely like Lufia 2 the best, but they're both unique and worthwhile.
Golden sun 4 will take a long time to make or possibly never going to happen Isaac not in smash 4 Edit: or ultimate Isaac not finished in project M A great time to be a golden sun fan.
Honestly, FF7 still has a place in my heart as it was the first RPG game I ever played ^-^. Golden Sun would definately kick FF7's ass if I played it first :P
Reece Wittman your so right FF7 is so hyped because it was a lot of peoples first experience with the series and/or rpgs in general. I still like 4/6 better than 7 even after all these years (I still love 7 though). Golden sun was definitely under rated. I want another one for Wii or Wii U. If you have to use the motion stuff just make some of the powers use them. Otherwise just more of a good thing.
Oh man, it's STILL rare as fuck to see RPGs with battles this cinematic, especially on handheld. The way they designed the camera to work, and the attacks to look... fucking epic.
unfortunately, golden sun dark dawn sorta flopped, the puzzles were still great, if not better, but the boss fights were way too easy compared to the first 2 games
@@jezupercy3029 in a way i can see why they lowered the difficulty on some bosses, Dullahan, Saturos, Fusion Dragon, the Kraken are all pretty difficult walls if you arent prepared for them. Atleast Dullahan is optional though.
@@Luuute As long as you are fighting every world battle without running, and have moderately up to date gear, you can easily sustain the required power level to overcome these fights. BUT, I do admit, for anyone that is unfamiliar with the concept of level upkeep, it can be easy to fall into the trap of skipping fights with the feathers of evasion and wasting money on healing items at the general store
furry ratchet He's such an obvious choice, already been a trophy in brawl and much more original than ice climbers or lucas. Looks like Nintendo's only interested in rehashing old or clone characters as DLC because it's cheaper to re-use assets, unfortunately.
+Ven's Vids. Well they removed the ice climbers because the 3ds couldn't handle the necessary coding for two characters at once, or at least that's the official statement from Nintendo. It's kinda weird to think that the 3ds could handle Rosalina and Luma, but not ice climbers. As for Lucas, I really don't know why they removed him. It's probably just Sakirai being Sakirai again. One argument could be that he was a clone, but considering that they added 2 more clone characters in this game, and those characters had very minimal changes, I'd say that isn't the reason.
I remember when I was a kid, I bought a used Gameboy Advance SP, and it had a Golden Sun cartridge in it, it was in the middle of the story and I had no idea what I was doing
And my friend thinks I'M obsessed with GS. Wait. Does playing the series four times called "obsessive"? And thinking about marching to Camelot HQ to riot that they make GS4?
The amount of requests this guy gets is absurdly ridiculous. He doesn't have enough time in his life to do all the requests he gets, so just let him pick and enjoy the music.
Man what nostalgia...I think this was the first title i played for the game boy advance. Amazing game for its time, beautifully done, and your acapella for this is just beautiful. Probably one of the best RPG battle music themes made for a game imo. BTW loved the summons lol. Keep it up!
Myn Jade I am extremely fortunate to still own both my original copies of Golden Sun and The Lost Age. If you can I suggest picking up a copy online, or even use an emulator... it's worth it.
It's when people do things like this that make you appreciate the finer things in life. Pretty much a massive wave of nostalgia as soon as the video starts. Keep on doing this!! It's absolutely amazing!!
Everything about this game was epic, especially in the second game when the full story comes around and connects, shows that the bad guys background and leaves one hell of a ending that makes a perfect setup for a sequel. Im still wondering why Nintendo hasn't pushed for this on the 3DS or better yet the Wii U, in gorgeous HD, still waiting...
Mimu Mi The sequel was bad because it was as linear as the first part, however unlike the first part you had backwards walls keeping you off secrets you wanted to explore until MUCH later in the game and the plot was so obvious :( i wanted that exploration feeling the second part gave me, i wanted my beloved characters and instead i get their kids on a super lame and seemingly just flat out unimportant quest, with barely any connections to the old characters and loads of obvious plot devices.
I used to have dreams of this song back in the day. And occasionally I'll start whistling it for no reason. Thank you so much for making this acapella and bringing back fond memories! Subscribed!
Golden Sun is an amazing RPG series. It has all the good, tried and tested features RPG games often have, but it's also got enough unique features to make it completely unlike any other RPG. The Djinn system is a stroke of genius. Seriously whoever thought of these little cute creatures you can assign to each character to boost their stats deserves all the things. And not just boost stats. Provide buffs/special effects using them to attack in battle. Using (a sometimes bloody HUGE) combination of them to summon kickass dragons and gods, but watch out, that kills your stats for the next few turns and probably kicks you out of whatever class you were in and leaves you a sitting duck if you're not careful. And switching them around between characters creates literally HUNDREDS of class combinations it makes your head spin trying to decide what to make everyone. When I used to play it back in the day I just kept everyone as their default classes. Playing it again I regret that as I missed a HUGE CHUNK of what makes Golden Sun so great. Jenna looks like your typical spellcasting girl character, right? Well, how about you make her a fucking badass Ronin or Chaos Lord, give her a great weapon and let her tear shit up with that instead :D And the graphics. These games were a marvel on the Game Boy Advance. The way they managed to make the camera swoop around the battle field like that even though it was all just 2D sprites... just arrrgh I love these games so much xD
God damn this nostalgia! Can't help but regress into a younger version of myself, carrying my GBA everywhere like it was my pet, levelling up my party, finding all of those damn elusive DJinns...man, good stuff! I wish you could do Felix's battle theme though, that soundtrack quite literally rocked my childhood.
Right? Back when i was younger, my family would go roadtripping a lot and i would take my GBA everywhere to listen to the soundtrack or play the game. As much as I like Felix, I love Isaac much more and even their respective themes. When i beat the game, i felt happy but empty...no more Golden Sun. Even when first part ended in the Lemurian ship, that saddened me. I was sad cause i was wanted more and i missed them.
federico kloster That's one of the few sequels that made depressed to play-through. Biggest disappointment I've had in a long time. I don't know if I will ever see a proper sequel to them.
It was back in 2001, I went to EVERY gaming shop in my city looking for a certain game but I couldn't find it, so I decided not to return empty handed and started grabbing random games and looking at the pictures in the back, one game caught my attention, I saw a cool detailed looking orange sword diving at an enemy, was like "wow this looks interesting" and I took the risk and bought it. Best decision I made in my life.
Cant stop smiling. This game is so damn good. This and the lost age will always be my fav games of all time. I've read about 100 comments and it brought me joy knowing theres so many great memories about this game. This era that we grew up in. Please make more golden sun songs. Jupiter lighthouse is just one of my many requests haha. Great job dude. Thanks for bringing a huge smile to my face.
I remember first seeing a screen shot of the battle graphics in a Nintendo magazine and my little mind was blown 🤯🤯. I was obsessed about getting this game for months then finally got it for Christmas with the game boy advance in 2001. I had extremely high expectations made up and this game exceeded them .
If there will ever be a 4th game to the series, I think it would be amazing to have the game on Nintendo's home console in full 3D, complete with CG cinematics and everything. Heck... they could remake the first 2 games into an HD experience and I would buy it day one. :)
usually I don't like acapella songs - but your stuff is awesome! Plus you collection has alot of epic songs... just like this one x.x The best battle theme ever EVER!
These two games will forever have a special place in my heart. Love them both to bits, and I consider it a shame that not more people know about it. The franchise deserves so much more.
A recommendation that came 7 years too late, one of the best if not THE best game ever made for the GBA. I’m not crying you’re crying.. Damn you nostalgia
Isaac was my "game character" when i was a kid back in 2001. Golden Sun alongside pokemon and the previous Mother 2 series shaped my imagination. This song AKA Isaacs theme was and will be a masterpiece. The game so awesome.
Bartholomew Peter Hmm.. The issue is getting the licensing rights for him again. Dunno what the figures were for Camelot releasing him to be used as a trophy, but since he's not Nintendo owned, it's not as easy as Little Mac. Now since Nintendo is jumping on the DLC train, they can try doing him as a DLC character, and pray that the coinage adds up to pay for the licensing. That's one of the reasons why Geno isn't in the game, because getting the license from $queenix is way too costly to just add him in.
Funny story about this vid. I've been watching Smooth McGroove's vids for a while, and came across this one. I listened to it and thought "Hey, this is a pretty nice theme." So I looked up the original and was pretty impressed. So I said to myself "The game seems interesting, I think I'll try it." This acapella alone got me interested in what is probably my most favorite game series of all time, and I'm glad that I gave it a chance instead of being stubborn.
This game is among my absolute favorites even after so long, so this theme gets stuck in my head every once in a while. I feel offended that RUclips had never shown me this version until today even though I've been following the channel for years! ToT
My god the chidhood feels.. Best game I've ever played, still play it from times to times, I'm 18 How high level were you with your team ? :d I got up to level 51 for 64 hours of playing, I really was into this game damn
In italian: Isaac, Garet, Ivan, Mia Felix, Jenna, Sara, Piers Saturos, Adexia (in english is Menardi), Alex, Karst, Agatio This is just my favorite game EVER :D i still play Golden Sun
I would love to see a character from Golden Sun representing in Nintendo's Smash Bro's game. Please everyone take a few moments and head over to the official website of Super Smash Bro's and vote for Isaac. Dark Dawn may have been a disaster with a weaker plot and soundtrack compared to the first two games in my opinion, but by getting Golden Sun more known, a 4th game can be created to redeem that failure. The first two games had music that rivaled Final Fantasy's soundtrack, plenty of interesting environments, and a good story line that left a huge impact on me. This is an underrated series that deserves more recognition as an rpg, and I hope that it obtains that.
Wow....the amount of effort you put into this is amazing.....truly, it shows.....bless your time and effort for a graceful job!!! Peace be with you my friend!!!
Awesome! I just found you and was loving the Zelda ones, but I saw this and almost crapped myself. I LOVE Golden Sun and this song in particular. I'm completely impressed, and will subscribe now. Keep doing this! May I suggest some Banjo-Kazooie?
This just made my day. No, my month. No, my YEAR. This is absolutely amazing. I tip my hat off to you Smooth McGroove, you're freaking talented as hell. Thanks for sharing!
Aight, this is just a hard NO. If you had said "Best turn based rpgs on the GBA" I would give my own opinion and not hate on you but WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? Mother 3 was ALSO a GBA game, Y'know.
Ah yes, the giant blue pitchfork-wielding rats. How could I have forgotten about those adorable little faeries. Felix and Jenna's themes are pretty good too, but Venus Lighthouse would be the real treat.
I wish Camelot / Nintendo would at least remaster this game series into a HD-2D visual style. I think that would be pretty cool. Or a full blown 3D remake but I doubt that would ever happen lol
Cirrus Soul Legend XD You are right! I dedicate my whole channel to Golden Sun!!I am happy you are as well!! Hey, join the Golden Sun community here on Google+ or a forum like Temple of Kraden if you like to discuss about Golden Sun!!!
Time for Fun it has the most interesting game mechanics as in rpg combined with rpg, it has an amazing story aswell. i support your recommendation sir.
I just recently got it on the Wii U Virtual Console, i've been having a blast so far, not to many complaints other then maybe dialogue sections sometimes being pretty boring to read after a while, they seem to last forever, especially the beginning of the game. But otherwise a good game so far.
hahaha wow its such a treat seeing silly faces or a cat in the boxes :P Also, I so do appreciate you just playing a whole battle up on screen for it, such good memories!
You freakin made a video for Golden Sun Battle Theme Music!!! Your officially the man in my book. This is one game I feel doesn't get the credit it deserves for how good it is. Anyway keep up the good work:D
animotionification It was one of the greatest reasons to buy a GBA. You totally should. The Lost Age, aka Part 2, was no slouch either in quality. And you can transfer data over from the first.
animotionification This will make you want it even more. Here is something from the sequel that is truly amazing. ruclips.net/video/VWCqV-VH0vQ/видео.html
NEW CHALLENGER! *Something black passes the battlers and knocks them onto the ground, the wind blows link the the point of blocking and suddenly a figure emerges from behind a tree. A sudden fireball blasts towards them and as mario catches it, he notices it looking back at him smiling; suddenly it hops out of his hand and runs to the the figure.* *The gust of winds flies behind the figure and lands on his arm like a bird* *The figure reveals himself as he pushes his cape back* *This Music plays* ISSAC HAS JOINED THE BRAWL !
As cool as it would be, I don't think they would do it because they already have characters like Roy, Marth, Ike and kid icarus. Would be a bit of a risk having so many similar characters (apart from all of his djinn and his looks I suppose)
Charles080 As much as I'd like that to be real and the evidence is quite strong, I don't want to raise my hopes and see them dashed because nintendo forgot or didn't plan it in the end. But just the same, if it does get announced, I WILL remember what you just said and class you a Level 100 legendary class psychic ^^ But in all seriousness Nintendo has done some really mean moves. No mother 3 for us and then mother 1 and 2 finally go on the wii-shop. But still no mother 3. Nintendo could have planned something, or it could be a series of similar events, resulting in little much than what you see. :/
Mother 3, Fire Emblem 6: The Binding Blade (i think fe6 might only be me tho) Sadly, both were never localized, but you may know Lucas and Roy from Super Smash Bros. Or maybe you know about both of these games and still think this game is better, which I can totally understand and I will not hate on your opinion, there's some fierce competition for best GBA game. Edit: I said think twice and didn't notice lel
Dude i'm a hardcore golden sun 1-2 fan and have been playing them since they came out when i was younger and still love playing them to this day, I saw your channel and was so happy to see you do this. You should do venus lighthouse cover as well as some of the boss themes, you would be even more legendary in my mind. Keep up the mindblowing work!
Sometimes I come back to this video just to read all the awesome comments about Golden Sun.

FUCK MERCURY LIGHTHOUSE!!!!!
Honestly i think thats where my save file is still at
I did, I had Ivan, then Mia, then Isaac die. Had to use a revive item on Isaac.
I beat Saturos and Tren the first try, but I'm stuck at the first battle of the colloseum :/

And my friend thinks I'M obsessed with GS.
Wait.
Does playing the series four times called "obsessive"?
And thinking about marching to Camelot HQ to riot that they make GS4?
I really loved FF Tactics Advance and Fire Emblem on the GBA but you're probably right. Golden Sun will always be the best.
Only four times? My sweet summer child...
Well... I love MOTHER 3, and that's a GBA rpg. So.... Yeah. I'm just starting Golden Sun, and I'm enjoying it so far, so.... there's that.

Jukantos let's not forget they added in the great wall of China and expected is to believe it was there the whole time
Mimu Mi That abortion of a DS sequel doesnt exhist to me....
I used to have dreams of this song back in the day. And occasionally I'll start whistling it for no reason. Thank you so much for making this acapella and bringing back fond memories! Subscribed!
Golden Sun is an amazing RPG series. It has all the good, tried and tested features RPG games often have, but it's also got enough unique features to make it completely unlike any other RPG. The Djinn system is a stroke of genius. Seriously whoever thought of these little cute creatures you can assign to each character to boost their stats deserves all the things.
And not just boost stats. Provide buffs/special effects using them to attack in battle. Using (a sometimes bloody HUGE) combination of them to summon kickass dragons and gods, but watch out, that kills your stats for the next few turns and probably kicks you out of whatever class you were in and leaves you a sitting duck if you're not careful. And switching them around between characters creates literally HUNDREDS of class combinations it makes your head spin trying to decide what to make everyone.
When I used to play it back in the day I just kept everyone as their default classes. Playing it again I regret that as I missed a HUGE CHUNK of what makes Golden Sun so great. Jenna looks like your typical spellcasting girl character, right? Well, how about you make her a fucking badass Ronin or Chaos Lord, give her a great weapon and let her tear shit up with that instead :D
And the graphics. These games were a marvel on the Game Boy Advance. The way they managed to make the camera swoop around the battle field like that even though it was all just 2D sprites... just arrrgh I love these games so much xD
Not to mention giving 7 Venus Djinni to Isaac will bring his HP up by a couple hundred
God damn this nostalgia! Can't help but regress into a younger version of myself, carrying my GBA everywhere like it was my pet, levelling up my party, finding all of those damn elusive DJinns...man, good stuff!
I wish you could do Felix's battle theme though, that soundtrack quite literally rocked my childhood.
Right? Back when i was younger, my family would go roadtripping a lot and i would take my GBA everywhere to listen to the soundtrack or play the game. As much as I like Felix, I love Isaac much more and even their respective themes. When i beat the game, i felt happy but empty...no more Golden Sun. Even when first part ended in the Lemurian ship, that saddened me. I was sad cause i was wanted more and i missed them.
Oscar Moreno You played a 2 part?
federico kloster You mean the horrible Dark Dawn yeah i got everything on that game. Was mediocre.
No talk of dark dawn (awful game ) I speak of golden sun the lost age
federico kloster That's one of the few sequels that made depressed to play-through. Biggest disappointment I've had in a long time. I don't know if I will ever see a proper sequel to them.
It was back in 2001, I went to EVERY gaming shop in my city looking for a certain game but I couldn't find it, so I decided not to return empty handed and started grabbing random games and looking at the pictures in the back, one game caught my attention, I saw a cool detailed looking orange sword diving at an enemy, was like "wow this looks interesting" and I took the risk and bought it.
Best decision I made in my life.
Well, I'm sold! Sure anyone can do Legend of Zelda, but it takes someone truly dedicated to pull out a Golden Sun number!
Subbed!
Cant stop smiling. This game is so damn good. This and the lost age will always be my fav games of all time. I've read about 100 comments and it brought me joy knowing theres so many great memories about this game. This era that we grew up in. Please make more golden sun songs. Jupiter lighthouse is just one of my many requests haha. Great job dude. Thanks for bringing a huge smile to my face.
Every time your videos start, I instantly get goosebumps.
So much nostalgia. Played this game when i was really young and it really made my childhood great. One of the best rpgs if its time
I remember first seeing a screen shot of the battle graphics in a Nintendo magazine and my little mind was blown 🤯🤯. I was obsessed about getting this game for months then finally got it for Christmas with the game boy advance in 2001. I had extremely high expectations made up and this game exceeded them .
I could listen to this over and over. I probably WILL listen to this over and over.
If there will ever be a 4th game to the series, I think it would be amazing to have the game on Nintendo's home console in full 3D, complete with CG cinematics and everything. Heck... they could remake the first 2 games into an HD experience and I would buy it day one. :)
usually I don't like acapella songs - but your stuff is awesome!
Plus you collection has alot of epic songs... just like this one x.x
The best battle theme ever EVER!
you can say that again
I wouldnt say THE best, but surely in the top 5! :)
This makes me far happier than it probably should.
These two games will forever have a special place in my heart. Love them both to bits, and I consider it a shame that not more people know about it.
The franchise deserves so much more.
Hey, Smooth. Could you to make the Felix Battle Theme Acapella? It would be legendary!
Yeah, do it, Smooth! It would be fantastic with your voice.
+Superviery Pleaaase smooth!!!
I prefeer jeena battle theme ~~
***** Jupiter Lighthouse rules all theme
AyakaruJuuhachi I love that theme, and that Lighthouse is the best
Did I just die and go to heaven? Multiple Jesus Christs are singing one of my favorite tracks
😂
Lmao hahahah
Nice XD
A recommendation that came 7 years too late, one of the best if not THE best game ever made for the GBA. I’m not crying you’re crying..
Damn you nostalgia
I'm totally agree,Golden Sun is the best game of all time and Castlevania SOTN
The fact that you did Golden Sun makes me so extremely happy. Its in my top favorite RPG's yet is so unknown. Thanks for the nostalgia c':
dude you have got to, MUST do Felix's theme!!!!
I AGREE!!! More Golden Sun, please!!!
Why didn't Isaac get into smash, but Bayonetta and Corin did. >_>
So salty.
+Daltheer Fehn He's an assist trophy. Tbh he probably made the smash ballot top 5, but wasn't a "realizable" character. I really wanted him too.
Haven't seen his trophy in Smash 4 then, I know he had one in Brawl.
Daltheer Fehn He is in sm4sh
+Daltheer Fehn just imagine his moves if he would be in the game *_*
+Alexander Gomez (Shadowmew1) he's not in smash 4
Golden Sun is a fantastic RPG series, I say Isaac should be a newcomer in Super Smash Bros 4.
with you on that. If Little Mac can get up from assist trophy status so can he.
That would be awesome... Can't imagine what "Charon" would do to Mario...
Paulo Martins Charon? Haha, picture what Isis, Judgement, or Catastrophe would d to him. The entire stage EXPLODES or gets sent into the sun!
Isaac was my "game character" when i was a kid back in 2001. Golden Sun alongside pokemon and the previous Mother 2 series shaped my imagination. This song AKA Isaacs theme was and will be a masterpiece. The game so awesome.
Bartholomew Peter
Hmm.. The issue is getting the licensing rights for him again. Dunno what the figures were for Camelot releasing him to be used as a trophy, but since he's not Nintendo owned, it's not as easy as Little Mac. Now since Nintendo is jumping on the DLC train, they can try doing him as a DLC character, and pray that the coinage adds up to pay for the licensing. That's one of the reasons why Geno isn't in the game, because getting the license from $queenix is way too costly to just add him in.
Funny story about this vid. I've been watching Smooth McGroove's vids for a while, and came across this one. I listened to it and thought "Hey, this is a pretty nice theme." So I looked up the original and was pretty impressed. So I said to myself "The game seems interesting, I think I'll try it."
This acapella alone got me interested in what is probably my most favorite game series of all time, and I'm glad that I gave it a chance instead of being stubborn.
It is 2021 and we got.... another Mario Golf game instead of a Golden Sun sequel. Only this video can cheer me up.
Cheer up, Camelot makes always a tennis and golf game before a gs comes out. We have both for the switch now, that means in 1-2 years a gs will come.
This game is among my absolute favorites even after so long, so this theme gets stuck in my head every once in a while. I feel offended that RUclips had never shown me this version until today even though I've been following the channel for years! ToT
My god the chidhood feels..
Best game I've ever played, still play it from times to times, I'm 18
How high level were you with your team ? :d
I got up to level 51 for 64 hours of playing, I really was into this game damn
Is Isaac the main character's name in english ?
***** Yes it is.
AdesVomSilberfeuer I never played the game, I just enjoy VG music.
AdesVomSilberfeuer In french their names are Vlad (main character), Garet, Ivan and Sofia :d.
In italian:
Isaac, Garet, Ivan, Mia
Felix, Jenna, Sara, Piers
Saturos, Adexia (in english is Menardi), Alex, Karst, Agatio
This is just my favorite game EVER :D i still play Golden Sun
Came back to hear this masterpiece after the switch classic port!! Still so amazing over a decade later!
I would love to see a character from Golden Sun representing in Nintendo's Smash Bro's game. Please everyone take a few moments and head over to the official website of Super Smash Bro's and vote for Isaac. Dark Dawn may have been a disaster with a weaker plot and soundtrack compared to the first two games in my opinion, but by getting Golden Sun more known, a 4th game can be created to redeem that failure. The first two games had music that rivaled Final Fantasy's soundtrack, plenty of interesting environments, and a good story line that left a huge impact on me. This is an underrated series that deserves more recognition as an rpg, and I hope that it obtains that.
xvaynex #isaac4smash
Welp...
Wow....the amount of effort you put into this is amazing.....truly, it shows.....bless your time and effort for a graceful job!!! Peace be with you my friend!!!
God, this game honestly was the best RPG for the gameboy. This is by far the greatest battle music ever. Great story as well!
Woow, i still remember watching this when it was added 5 months ago, good times,
Awesome! I just found you and was loving the Zelda ones, but I saw this and almost crapped myself. I LOVE Golden Sun and this song in particular. I'm completely impressed, and will subscribe now.
Keep doing this! May I suggest some Banjo-Kazooie?
Ikr i was like wow this guy is good! then i saw this i was like NO.FUCKING.WAY subbed in 3 seconds flat
Best RPG ever !!! Good job again Smooth ;)
It isn't the best RPG ever, maybe as your opinion then yes
Yes of course ;)
+1 to best RPG, too good story
People don't forget , E3 and the 20th birthday of the game are coming , keep praying for a remake or remaster
Yes! It's our last chance to be honest ;-;
This is so fantastic. It's always nice to see other Golden Sun fans. Well done!
This game is amazing, and this song is amazing, and you are amazing!!
PLEASEEEEEE do the Elemental Stars Theme! even your cat wants to see it happen (he/she told me so)
Da1337Man #isaac4smash
+Mute City I've been wanting Isaac for Smash Bros for years ;_;
+Da1337Man I want it so baaaad !
+#1 Tako You're not the only one brother #Isaac4Smash, i know that the ballot is over but we can at least pray =D!
Jay Ray
At least we got an assist trophy... ;_;
These games were way underrated. I enjoyed them quite a bit.
This just made my day. No, my month. No, my YEAR.
This is absolutely amazing.
I tip my hat off to you Smooth McGroove, you're freaking talented as hell.
Thanks for sharing!
One of the best turn based rpgs ever.
Aight, this is just a hard NO. If you had said "Best turn based rpgs on the GBA" I would give my own opinion and not hate on you but WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT? Mother 3 was ALSO a GBA game, Y'know.
@@rosheafan I meant "one of the", lol, sorry.
@@Maverick.D. oh lol
2018 and still waiting for another golden sun game.
Damn die hard fans having a rough time :’(
Ah yes, the giant blue pitchfork-wielding rats. How could I have forgotten about those adorable little faeries.
Felix and Jenna's themes are pretty good too, but Venus Lighthouse would be the real treat.
I'm a bit of a fan of that lighthouse myself
looking to glorious moments of my childhood... I want to replay this awesome game one more time
Emulator ;)
I wish Camelot / Nintendo would at least remaster this game series into a HD-2D visual style. I think that would be pretty cool. Or a full blown 3D remake but I doubt that would ever happen lol
My favourite of your works, since this is my favourite franchise!!!!
+isaac3002 I keep seeing you everywhere. We must both be big Golden Sun fans, I guess.
Cirrus Soul Legend XD You are right! I dedicate my whole channel to Golden Sun!!I am happy you are as well!! Hey, join the Golden Sun community here on Google+ or a forum like Temple of Kraden if you like to discuss about Golden Sun!!!
isaac3002 Don't see why not, if the other supporters are.
Cirrus Soul Legend I hope to see you in one community then!!
isaac3002 You too m8
how good is this game?
after this i kinda wanna get it.
Its a great rpg for the gba, definitely up there in quality I'd definitely recommend it
Time for Fun it has the most interesting game mechanics as in rpg combined with rpg, it has an amazing story aswell. i support your recommendation sir.
Your username is amazing(ly offensive)
ESOFguy0134 that didn't anser my question
I just recently got it on the Wii U Virtual Console, i've been having a blast so far, not to many complaints other then maybe dialogue sections sometimes being pretty boring to read after a while, they seem to last forever, especially the beginning of the game. But otherwise a good game so far.
hahaha wow its such a treat seeing silly faces or a cat in the boxes :P Also, I so do appreciate you just playing a whole battle up on screen for it, such good memories!
Its the best game for GBA
You have a great talent, great taste in games, and great hair.
OMG! GoldenSun YEAH!. I would love to hear something from Boktai but I ain't complaining or pressuring
Golden sun is so ahead of its time there literally no rpg like it and will hope that there will be a new one
next "Golden Sun - Fellix Battle Theme Acapella "
like this for who want!
Golden Sun is a Golden One.
yes I fucking love this song!
You freakin made a video for Golden Sun Battle Theme Music!!! Your officially the man in my book. This is one game I feel doesn't get the credit it deserves for how good it is. Anyway keep up the good work:D
Got it on Wii U!
HELL YEAH!
MEMORIES ENGAGED!!!
I haven't played the game, but this fucking music makes me want to.
animotionification It was one of the greatest reasons to buy a GBA. You totally should. The Lost Age, aka Part 2, was no slouch either in quality. And you can transfer data over from the first.
animotionification This will make you want it even more. Here is something from the sequel that is truly amazing.
ruclips.net/video/VWCqV-VH0vQ/видео.html
DataProwler I stopped playing on my Wii U until NA gets Lost Age also need Zero Mission and FE Sacred Stones
DataProwler They better add this game to Wii U's shop...its ridiculous how they failed so hard to incorporate every good game BUT this...
EpicNolegs This has been on the Wii u e shop for months as far as I know, I got it myself :)
Please if you haven't done the others do Felix's Theme and Doom Dragon Final Battle.
If he does Doom Dragon my life will be complete. Oh and Saturos theme.
Secularistic Man Saturos' Theme is a must. so much win in that song
Thats true now that you mentioned it. Now i feel like both 1 and 2 again from the start.
Not to mention Venus Lighthouse.
This is literally giving me life.
It's so beautiful-
Can you do Jenna's Battle Theme from The Lost Age if you haven't already?
NEW CHALLENGER!
*Something black passes the battlers and knocks them onto the ground, the wind blows link the the point of blocking and suddenly a figure emerges from behind a tree. A sudden fireball blasts towards them and as mario catches it, he notices it looking back at him smiling; suddenly it hops out of his hand and runs to the the figure.*
*The gust of winds flies behind the figure and lands on his arm like a bird*
*The figure reveals himself as he pushes his cape back*
*This Music plays*
ISSAC HAS JOINED THE BRAWL !
This has to happen!!! :D well I can only hope!! GOLDEN SUN FOREVER!!! Thanks Camelot for making the best RPG ever.
Tiymako Izau Well Issac did appear as a Trophy AND Assist character. Let's hope he get's an upgrade like Pit did from melee to brawl. ^^
As cool as it would be, I don't think they would do it because they already have characters like Roy, Marth, Ike and kid icarus. Would be a bit of a risk having so many similar characters (apart from all of his djinn and his looks I suppose)
E10phoenix Djinn's and he has the ability to push and pull stuff with telekinisis.
Think of a psychic kid icarus ^^
Charles080 As much as I'd like that to be real and the evidence is quite strong, I don't want to raise my hopes and see them dashed because nintendo forgot or didn't plan it in the end.
But just the same, if it does get announced, I WILL remember what you just said and class you a Level 100 legendary class psychic ^^
But in all seriousness Nintendo has done some really mean moves. No mother 3 for us and then mother 1 and 2 finally go on the wii-shop. But still no mother 3.
Nintendo could have planned something, or it could be a series of similar events, resulting in little much than what you see. :/
I want to play this game again >.<
Of all your videos this one is by far my favorite!
I keep coming back here all the time :D
Friend: Hey Megalovania is beast, There is no better theme!
Me: ever heard of golden sun
Friend: lol wtf is tha- OOOOOOOOH
This is the best game on GBA and you can't change my mind :D
Mother 3, Fire Emblem 6: The Binding Blade (i think fe6 might only be me tho)
Sadly, both were never localized, but you may know Lucas and Roy from Super Smash Bros.
Or maybe you know about both of these games and still think this game is better, which I can totally understand and I will not hate on your opinion, there's some fierce competition for best GBA game.
Edit: I said think twice and didn't notice lel
@@rosheafan GBA did have some extremely great games haha
I keep hoping for a HD remake or continuation every year 😭Damn you Mario Golf
Dude i'm a hardcore golden sun 1-2 fan and have been playing them since they came out when i was younger and still love playing them to this day, I saw your channel and was so happy to see you do this. You should do venus lighthouse cover as well as some of the boss themes, you would be even more legendary in my mind. Keep up the mindblowing work!
Maybe do The Lost Age battle music too at some stage :)
such a good game i'm at the part with a fusion dragon with saturos and mernadi and i'm almost level 30!
That's near the end of game one right?! Definately have fun with part 2 it's hard but so much fun! (and about twice as big!)
I miss Golden Sun
Almost 2 years later and I'm still rocking to this kick-ass song.
