It’s Funny Where Inspiration Can Come From
Nov 25th
Even if it’s from a commercial for an earlier game in the series nearly ten years ago.
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn is a game that I have been waiting for since it was announced at last year’s E3. Now out in Japan and hitting North American stores on Monday, I keep looking back to my preorder receipt, anticipating the game that it will get me on the day it arrives.
Earlier this week, I found an article on Destructoid where the developers seemed to draw inspiration from the commercial for the US release of Golden Sun back in 2001. For those that remember the style of GBA commercials around launch time, they usually took real life scenes and created them into something out of the game they’re advertising. The one for Golden Sun was quite bizarre:
Quite sure I’ve never gotten attacked by an opera house chandelier that turns into crystal dragon.
Now, as far as Golden Sun: Dark Dawn is concerned, Camelot seemed to have had a good memory, (especially for a commercial that didn’t even air in their country) and decided to make something of it.
And the rest is all history:

E3 2009: Nintendo Press Conference – HOOOOOOOOOOOOLY CRAP
Jun 2nd
It was a short conference, but Nintendo definitely learned from its lesson after last year’s weak showing. This year, they pulled out all the stops and announced something for just about everyone this year, and it’ll have hardcore gamers dusting off their Wiis in anticipation.
Nintendo’s press conference was pretty much rattling off game after game after game, a lot of which the core gamer will enjoy. There’s a full list of what they announced after the jump, but be warned, it’s LONG.
