I believe there was a rumour about a possible return of the series last year or maybe before.

What should be next for the Golden Sun series?
- Thread starter Comic Obsessed
- Start date
they'd more likely use that switch lift to make something that could sell better than Golden Sun.
and there are many companies doing what Nintendo could be doing. I question if Trials will even match Xenoblade on 2 systems anyway
It was simply wishful thinking because people thought that Hans was going to be at Smash Bros. I remember because it was not based on anything and there were many strangely disappointed people.

Again, the groundwork is there already.
It won't but that's not the point, the point is generating interest in the franchise again.
There was rumours not long after DD came out and it turned to nothing. Camelot is probably making a Mario Golf game.

No, there was an insider teasing the possible return of the series on Twitter after they were asked about it.

People keep talking about the dungeons but the best puzzles are outdoors with stuff like collecting djinns, using djinn powers outside combat to interact with the world in meaningful ways, and of course the whole concept behind mind reading. This was one of the first JRPGs I played and it made me go "huh" when I finally played some of the other ones. They're just so unremarkable as there's practically no gameplay outside of combat. Chrono Trigger is good though, despite being structured like a traditional JRPG. Its execution is exceptional and somehow managed to keep me engaged at all times.
But yeah, people don't enjoy problem solving in any capacity, the market reality is that your gameplay must consist of mindless busywork with carefully designed reward schedules to work. Even the latest 3D Mario is such a simple and easy game to figure out. I'm not even touching Fire Emblem since I'm certain the strategic aspect of the maps is nothing special. Gaming kind of sucks these days!

It was only because they renewed the copyright, as always happens with Eternal Darkness.

I doubt that an insider would have made a tease if that was the case.
that's not gonna make development go any faster or cheaper. which would circle back to my original thoughts that Nintendo would probably rather just make something new
I just checked, it was the Direct of September last year. There was a renewal of the copyright, an insider said that Direct was delayed by the earthquake due to a specific game, people thought it was Hans because of his earth magic and it was Cities: Skyline.
They could possibly try to revive the way SE has been trying with Mana... Remakes, collections etc.

Yes? Because then they wouldn't have to create a plot and a brand new battle system?
These are my people!
First remake the first two games for the switch in one glorious package.
Second get Monolith to help Camelot with making the world of Weyard, but put some people as well to curb the story and the amount of dialogue.
but mainly smash representation, they should have put Isaac/Matthew/Felix as playable characters goddamn it.
The series, from what I remember, was OK at best and feels like being done is fine for it.
Not every series needs to continue indefinitely forever. Sometimes things just end.

GS and GS:TLA were my favourite games during my high school years (regularly visited and posted on multiple GS fansites), but I've more or less laid any hope of a 4th GS game to rest.
The current Camelot development team is just not ready to do a huge jrpg, especially one that would be on the switch. I imagine the majority of the team that made the first 2 GS games has long since left Camelot. The lack of sales for GS:DD is also probably dampening their desire to invest in such a large game, compared to doing more Mario Golf/Tennis games.
They were too ambitious in all the wrong areas for GS:DD... 8 party members (the latter 4 should not have been there) and a plot that felt like nothing more then a prologue to the "real" story. In addition to referencing little from the previous games and having a difficulty that was non-existent apart from the final boss. I still enjoyed playing the game but I can see why it didn't do too well.

Ah, decent chance to post this quick mockup I made a while back. It's still a top wish of mine:
Especially since they're collectively one big game anyway.
Unfortunately, Camelot looks like they're perpetually locked in an endless cycle of Mario sports games...
