I haven't played a portable RPG in a while, but Golden Sun has been my favorite since I started playing the first one. I really liked the system of changing classes based on which djinn you gave to a character. It made things pretty interesting, and you could change the class of your characters pretty easily. The story also was interesting. I remember not expecting too much when I initially bought it, but I was pleasantly surprised.
I also remember playing two player with one of my friends back like seven years. I would always win because my Ivan was faster.That was pretty fun. I admit that the battle system was flawed because you could win in one turn playing against other people, but it was still fun.
Golden Sun DS is going to be released sometime this year in Japan, but who knows when it'll come to the US, or Europe for that matter. I can't wait until it comes out if it lives up to the previous two games.
EDIT: You're right that the game was pretty easy, especially towards the end, but that didn't really take the enjoyment out of it for me. I remember in the second game, after you got all eight characters, the game became really easy, but it wasn't that big of a deal because it was still fun to battle and continue the story.
