Rumor: Nintendo customer service rep associates Golden Sun DS with 3DS?
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, Rumors | 3 Comments
This is a response from a Nintendo customer service representative regarding Golden Sun DS…
Hm…I’m not too sure about this. We don’t know what the original email said and that could have influenced the response. That said, stranger things have happened. And we all know that Twilight Princess ended up on the GameCube and Wii. So, you never know! We’ll just have to wait until E3 to hear new information about Golden Sun DS.
Thanks to 357 Lobster for the news tip!
