Golden Sun Began As A Nintendo 64 Game Before Moving To Game Boy Advance
Golden Sun may not have the same RPG clout as something like Final Fantasy, but the series has a history and some interesting development stories.
The latest video from Did You Know Gaming looks at the history of the three-game series, Golden Sun, with the help of acapella YouTube musician Smooth McGroove. Along with its Nintendo 64 roots, fans have uncovered a Zelda reference in the game's code, and even made a fake Golden Sun game to help inspire excitement for a sequel. You can check out the video below.
To hear the video's narrator, Smooth McGroove, sing Golden Sun's battle theme, check out the video below. For an extended interview with Mr. McGroove, follow this link.
