The second game to be released, in May 2003, which is titled "Golden Sun Book 2" in the opening sequence. This game follows Felix, Jenna, Sheba, and Piers as they quest to save Weyard from potential destruction. This game wraps up the series as a storyline, however it has been debated that there are several loose ends not addressed, leaving much speculation as to what may happen in an anticipated third game.



Golden Sun DS
Recently announced at E3 2009, Golden Sun DS is the third game in the Golden Sun series. Apparently featuring a 3d world, and revolving around what appears to be a younger Isaac as the main character, the game's story and setting have otherwise yet to be confirmed. A small trailer was issued, containing a sneak peak of the gameplay, but no comments were made.

=Other games= Golden Sun-related characters and content have made smaller appearances in other video games that are non-canonical.

Mario Tennis: Power Tour
Mario Tennis: Power Tour, released 2005, is an entry in the wide-ranging Mario Sports subfranchise of Nintendo video games and was the first appearance of anything Golden Sun-related in any video game at all since the 2003 release of Golden Sun: The Lost Age. It features an RPG mode with many audiovisual and presentation elements based directly on the Golden Sun games, and several Psynergy effects make cameo appearances, including the dragon-like plume of fire seen in the Fume Psynergy series.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl
Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a wild crossover Nintendo fighting game released in March 2008, is the first appearance of Golden Sun characters in any video game in over four years, since the previous release of The Lost Age in 2003. Characters from all manner of famous Nintendo franchises are playable combatants, and many games and franchises not major enough to see their characters playable play lesser roles such as collectible trophies and assist trophies, which help a combatant fight. Isaac makes his first 3-Dimensional debut as one of these helper characters, appearing randomly in battle when your playable Nintendo character summons from an item called an Assist Trophy. When summoned, he uses the Move Psynergy on random opponents to push them off the stage. Isaac also appears as a collectible still figure called a Trophy, and music from The Lost Age is featured as one stage's available battle theme.
