Nostalgia(DS)

October 26, 2009

When I saw this game, I thought it looked interesting. I had no idea it’d be released so soon. I’ve heard it being compared to FF, but I’ve personally never played it, so be prepared for a lot of comparisons to Golden Sun!

- Multiplayer mode
- Mini-games
- Storyline
