By Hayley Williams on
Nintendo is continuing to add Game Boy Advance games to the Nintendo Online + Expansion Pack library with the addition of two beloved GBA JRPGs: Golden Sun and its sequel, Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
The classic JRPGs were released in 2001 and 2002 respectively, following a group of magic-wielding «adepts» who are tasked with preventing the release of a destructive magic known as Alchemy into the world.
The games were both critically well-received on release, with GameSpot's original review of Golden Sun praising its «tight graphics, polished gameplay, and a solid story,» awarding the game a score of 8.6/10. Its sequel The Lost Age was also given an 8.6 by GameSpot, with the reviewer calling it «an even more polished game that exceeds its predecessor's high level of quality.»
Two epic adventures dawn…
