Description

Nintendo continues to celebrate its storied handheld legacy by bringing beloved Game Boy Advance classics to the modern era.

The latest addition is the complete soundtrack of Camelot’s acclaimed RPG, Golden Sun, which is now available for listening on the Nintendo Music app—a benefit exclusively for Nintendo Switch Online subscribers. Golden Sun, originally released in 2001 for the Game Boy Advance, remains one of Camelot’s most celebrated RPGs.

Renowned for its engaging turn-based combat, innovative Psynergy puzzle mechanics, and a narrative praised by critics and players alike, the game helped establish the GBA's reputation as a premier handheld platform for role-playing enthusiasts.

Camelot’s achievement with Golden Sun cemented the developer’s place among Nintendo’s distinguished partners, contributing to several successful franchises across Nintendo hardware. The addition of the Golden Sun soundtrack further expands the Nintendo Music app’s offerings.

Subscribers to the Switch Online service can now enjoy 54 tracks from the original game, with a total playtime of 1 hour and 56 minutes.

Highlights from the tracklist include iconic tunes such as the main theme, battle theme, "Mercury Lighthouse," and celebrated pieces like "Bulkhead's Resolve" and "Battle with the Fusion Dragon." This robust collection allows both longtime fans and new players to revisit the atmospheric compositions that have become synonymous with Golden Sun’s enduring appeal. This marks only the second full GBA soundtrack made available on the platform since the launch of the Nintendo Music app, following Fire Emblem: The Blazing Blade.

In a statement reflecting Nintendo’s ongoing commitment to expand nostalgic content for its modern audience, the company noted that the service aims to preserve and showcase the rich musical heritage of its classic titles, making it accessible to new generations of gamers. To access the Golden Sun soundtrack, users must have an active Nintendo Switch Online membership.

Beyond music, those with the Switch Online + Expansion Pack can also play both Golden Sun and its sequel directly on their Nintendo Switch devices, offering multiple ways to reconnect with Camelot's RPG masterpiece. With the Nintendo Music app continuing to grow, fans can look forward to further additions celebrating the iconic soundtracks that have defined decades of gaming.

Golden Sun’s arrival on the service not only honors Camelot’s legacy but allows a new audience to experience the stirring compositions that helped the GBA classic become a hallmark of Nintendo’s RPG catalog.
