I'd like to point out that it isn't a top DS games, is a list of the mustplay/must try/worth a play DS games. I'm planning to add to my Jesus-pendrive a various collection of roms (I just found a full torrent with every DS game), and I'll start with the DS. Overall, I would recommend Golden Sun to any fan of RPGs, or even just someone looking for a satisfying experience on the GBA. DeriLoko2 rates this game: 5/5 Golden Sun (U)(Mode7) is a Game Boy Advance game that was created and published by Nintendo.

Contents GameplayThe game features a world with 3D environments and entirely 3D battles, and it features optional touch-screen stylus control. Stylus control is an additional way of controlling the functions that can otherwise be handled with the base control scheme from previous games, with touchable icons on screen that quickly and easily select and use Psynergy shortcuts.The game features an encyclopedia system designed to tell players history of the world (including information about the previous games), and explain plot and character elements occurring in the present. As characters talk, specific text will highlight with hyperlinks, and if the player taps on the text with the stylus, that term's page from the encyclopedia will open up on the upper screen to fill players in on the details. If the page has already been read beforehand, the hyperlink will remain, but in a darkened color.Eight all-new playable characters comprise the eventual final party, and unlike in previous games where there would be four characters at first and then suddenly jump up to eight, the full party is assembled at a steady rate as the game progresses. Characters are more-or-less similar in battle to previous games, but one of the characters, has an entirely different battle style in which she transforms between humanoid and werewolf forms, where even her Attack and Defend commands are altered.

Once again, there are 72 to collect, 18 for each element and therefore 9 for allocation to each of the eight playable characters; however, there are new Djinn introduced, and Djinn that are missing from the previous games. Some of these Djinn are present on adult and, who join battles as uncontrolled 'guest' characters in the beginning stages of the game. The system was also altered to allow each Djinni to have a unique design to differentiate it from all other Djinn of the same element.The Class system is very similar to the original games in terms of how Djinn influence them, but in accordance with the new characters there are four new mono-element classes and two new dual-element classes, and some of the existing classes have been slightly retooled, such as with the now having its own party-healing Psynergy. Classes provided by Class-changing items like in no longer exist, however.All 29 from the Game Boy Advance titles return in Dark Dawn, redesigned for 3D presentation, with a few being changed more drastically, such as Boreas. One all-new summon, a Venus-aligned summon named, was added, and appears identical to the chandelier in the 'Culture Advanced' commercial for the original. This makes for a total of an even 30, and like in The Lost Age, the party starts out with access to the 'initial 16' and must collect the other 14 by finding their in the game world.

Djinn that are on Standby now wander around the top screen of the DS in 2D while the battle takes place in 3D below. When a summon is used, the appropriate amount of Djinn will be removed from the top screen.Psynergy old and new make fully 3D appearances as well, such as the, which is used to shift objects around., is now inherent to, regardless of class series (without its upgraded forms, Mad Growth and Wild Growth), so that he can use it as a utility Psynergy effect without having to constantly change classes, as was required in the original games.Items and their categories are similar to the previous games, but with several important changes and additions. Have been divided into Staffs and Ankhs, the latter of which is a more restricted sub-category. Are introduced as an all-new weapon type and Sveta uses her own category of weapons called. Defensive equipment on the whole is less changed, though Shirts have been removed as supplementary equipment, while Rings have more of an emphasis on increasing stats, where before they had been almost solely about being usable items. Every weapon in the game has its own, unique 3D model that appears held by a character during battle. All weapons have Unleash effects, and most have multiple unleashes.

Weapons will unlock unleashes when the character gains experience with the weapons in battle in a new weapon-experience system. Unleashes themselves have a wider array of effects as well, such as being able to hit all enemies on the battlefield at once.Battle is very similar to the previous games, in that a party of four characters fights an enemy group, reserve party members may be switched in once per turn, and when the first party is all downed, the reserve party jumps in. Perhaps the most critical change is that when a character is set to attack an enemy, but another character has defeated that enemy beforehand in the same turn, the character will no longer automatically Defend; their attack will be redirected to another enemy on the battlefield.There is no connectivity with Golden Sun: The Lost Age, even though GBA games can be inserted in the GBA slot of older DS systems. Furthermore, there is no Easy mode or Hard mode to replay the game with.Synopsis PlotThe game picks up 30 years after the first two games in the series left off.
