With an incredible, epic story, a huge world to explore, a roster of brilliant characters (from the hot-tempered Jenna to the mysterious, menacing Alex), and one of the best soundtracks ever scored by the enigmatic Motoi Sakuraba (Valkyrie Profile, Tales-series, Bravely Default), Golden Sun: The Lost Age treats players to one of the greatest JRPG experiences available on any platform. Building upon the traditional turn-based RPG mechanics of the first game, The Lost Age increased the scope many times over. Ending with a cliffhanger, fans of the game were left crying for more. When the first Golden Sun game was released for Game Boy Advance in 2001 it brought a traditional epic JRPG to the handheld market. With a brilliant, twisting plot, engaging characters, wonderful mechanics and a challenge that will test your tactical skills to their limits (beware, this game contains perma-death), Fire Emblem: Blazing Sword championed the turn-based tactical RPG in the West and remains a genre staple. The young noble, accompanied by his companions Lyn, Hector, and the player’s avatar the Tactician, embarks on a quest to search for his lost father and uncover a mystery threatening the continent of Elibe. Who are Marth and Roy and what is Fire Emblem? The popularity of these characters in Melee led to Nintendo and Intelligent Systems announcing that Fire Emblem’s seventh instalment, Rekka no Ken (Blazing Sword), would be the first international release of the lauded Japanese turn-based tactical RPG.Ī prequel to Roy’s game Fuuin no Tsurugi (The Binding Blade), Blazing Sword follows the adventures of Roy’s father Eliwood. Melee for the GameCube was accompanied by a mystery for many Western Nintendo fans.
