Nintendo has dated its eagerly-anticipated Nintendo DS role-playing gameGolden Sun: Dark Dawnfor a November 29 release.
It makes my bones creak thinking that it’s been seven years since the release of the Game Boy Advance title,Golden Sun: The Lost Age, but yup… here we are.Dark Dawntakes place 30 years after the events of the original Golden Sun and its sequel, introducing both dual-screen and touch controls to the series.Chad played it at E3and gave it 4 out of 5 “amazing.”
Personally, I have to wonder why Nintendo waited to release this title until after the real holiday rush. Pushing this release prior to the post-Thanksgiving retail stampede probably would have helped sales a bit. The November 29 release is a bit in “no-man’s land,” where most parents and significant others have done the bulk of their holiday shopping. I guess whenDark Dawnsells a fraction of the number of copies that it could have, we should all act shocked.
