Because it's bad and no one wants it.

Will accept free hugs and tummy rubs.
I remember playing the first two on my GBA for a while, and they really felt like Graphics over gameplay.

Oh yes, Golden Sun is terrible, almost as bad as modern Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Smash online, Breath of the Wild and all the other games Rob likes, I agree.
There's a point where people's opinions seem less like they're genuine and more that they're trying to troll me specifically

Barring Golden Sun, those games are extremely popular so of course there will also be more people that dislike them.
Less people will say "Blazing Chrome is shit" because no one knows about it.
I think Impact dislikes a lot of things most of us have talked about.

Here's the thing, By 2001 standards (Which is the GBA's first year) It looked nice. But at the time, A lot of JRPG were moving away from the turn based formula that Dragon Quest made in favor for being more action oriented (MegaMan Battle Network, Mario & Luigi SSS, Final Fantasy X, Kingdom Hearts, Paper Mario, Tales of comes to mind) That and the fact that Golden Sun's cut scene can last over 5 minutes is more than enough to turn away a franchise. (Battle Network 1 was a launch title in japan and it looked better than GS1 did.)

Golden Sun talking too much and then not having some kind of journal system kept me from completing it.
The gameplay isnt even like...bad. From what I remember anyway.

What I'm saying it's brings nothing new to the table. I forget about it's basic bitch tier zelda ripoff style puzzles.

I'm pretty sure you have expressed distaste in every game I mentioned above, lol. I did have to look up your comment on Breath of the Wild to make sure. I'm not even gonna bother trying to argue with Impact because that's a lost cause. It baffles me that people see Zelda-like gameplay and think that's a bad thing when Zelda is consistently one of the highest quality series in gaming.

Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess says otherwise.

I've been shitting on Wild since before you even returned to the forum. Its not an opinion that I expected to have nor is it one to spite specifically you. I genuinely was excited for it and thought I was going to adore it.
And I didn't. I dont know what you want me to say.

I don't understand how he got mixed up with me and you since I love BotW.

There's no winning an argument against you, if you said the sky was green there wouldn't be anything I could say that would convince you otherwise
You know what, I'm not gonna get into it any further. I have a feeling that it might be a sensitive topic and so I'll back off. I'll just say that the consistent opposing opinions between us on games is something I'm very aware of.

I'm just not understanding the frustration.
A guy doesnt like a game that trillions of others did. So what, bro?

I feel like you need to play more Non-Nintendo games.

Most of my main enjoyment for the hobby over the last decade comes from every angle but Nintendo. It's sad to say that because they were all I really knew for 10 years.
Not that it was...hard to just find other shit.

Right now, I'm playing Okami because everyone on the internet compares it to Twilight Princess. And it's so much better than Zelda at the gen, So I can't help to think to ask why did TP fucked up so badly?

A guy, that is one of maybe a dozen or so people who use the video game section on this forum, actively dislikes like the majority of the games that one specific person, who is also among the dozen or so people who use the video game section on this forum, does. This is somehow despite both of them having very similar tastes in games. That will lead to arguments. I'm sure you are earnest in your opinions, but it just seems to happen time and time again across a wide variety of genres. It's just an observation, and the thing to do is more on me than it is on you, which is, "assume Judge Spear doesn't like thing I like and don't take him seriously when he expresses he doesn't like thing that I like, and if he doesn't like something that I like, then that's not really a matter of me having poor taste because at this point it's a given that he doesn't like thing that I like"
I don't own consoles aside from Nintendo consoles. This is because I don't want to spend more money on gaming than I already do. On Switch, the game I've clocked the most hours into is Monster Hunter Rise, which isn't a Nintendo game.

Wait really? Never seen anyone make that comparison, but that's probably everything I saw before playing the original Wii ver was from people who actually played both games

Yooooooooo, fuck you Sony Wild Arms will get made with or without you

I meant more 3rd party titles.
Yeah, That's how Okami became so popular.

Again. I've been here, saying these same things since before you came back to this forum. So rest assured you are not at the forefront of my mind when I express disappointment in certain products.
I'm picky, jaded, and vocal. I know what I like and am not swayed by legacy, marketing, or pedigree. Least of all popularity.
That was all people did when it was new.
"10 Things Okami Steals From Zelda" and the like were frequent headlines back in 2006-2008. It was frequently heralded PS2's Zelda.

It's funny because it was Zelda that stole from Okami.

Hear a lot from that series.
If it one day it comes to Switch online with maybe hopefully a GBA app i must try and give it a shot

The way that you say that makes me feel like you -are- swayed by popularity, just in the reverse direction. “Breath of the Wild is the greatest game of all time!” I can imagine how that could make you look at the game more critically. Same with legacy, really. “It’s not like the old games!” Even if the new games have lots of new things to offer.
I’ve heard rumors that a GBA emulator was coming for Switch. I’m sure the devs have toyed around with it, but whether or not it gets released for Switch remains up in the air. The system’s fairly old at this point.
The games are good, what differentiate them from other RPGs is the heavy emphasis on puzzles and dungeons, much moreso than a typical RPG. It’s very much like a Zelda game, just with turn-based battles. Lots of exploration. And the turn-based battles are really snappy. Possibly the fastest menu navigation I’ve ever seen in a game. The amount and length of cutscenes is a fair criticism, but there are long stretches that have hardly any cutscenes at all. And the music is top notch. If you can only play one of them, I recommend The Lost Age.

There was what i belive leak builds or dev stuff regarding the GBA app. If it comes i think it could be anounced with a possible september direct. And Switch still has some good years in it around 3 more i would guess
