Golden Sun (GBA)
This is my current mobile game. I’ve clocked an insane amount of hours on it in the past, but it’s so good that – inspired by the rich and luscious visuals provided by my DS, I’ve started again.
(Ignore the Japanese visuals, above). It never ceases to amaze me that a fully fledged turn based RPG in the vein of Final Fantasy can sit quite happily on a handheld, but Golden Sun does it in spades. You have massive spells and powerups, a (very) long and convoluted plot, and awesome stat and combat system, expository cutscenes, the whole sooting match. All in a teensy wee cart. What’s more, the nice backlit screen on the DS makes the whole thing much more vibrant and colourful. It’s fab.
