Nintendo has announced a new wave of Game Boy Advance games coming to Nintendo Online + Expansion Pack next week in the form of JRPG Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.

In this game, the group explores new locations and must light four elemental lighthouses.
The two Golden Sun titles were very well-praised at the time and went on to become beloved JRPGs A third game was later released in 2010. Golden Sun: Dark Dawn is more of a standalone title, taking place 30 years in the future after the events of Golden Sun and Golden Sun: The Lost Age.
