First look


Harmo Knight is the new Nintendo 3DS title from Game Freak, the team behind the Pokémon series.

The game was announced by Satoru Iwata during today's Nintendo Direct livestream. From the footage released, it looks like a hybrid of a traditional side-scrolling platformer, replete with a Mario Bros-style world hub, and a rhythm action game. The game's hero charges through levels, from verdant hilly landscapes to city rooftops, collecting musical notes and swinging a quaver like a battle axe/golf club. Presumably, you have to execute your attacks in time with the game's music. One level shows a different character shooting enemies from afar with a harp, while another stage showed the main character in a supped-up musical mine cart.

The video also showcased a boss fight which seemed to introduce variety into the gameplay. A voice called out the moves that would be required in time with the music, before the player then had to input them at the same speed in order to be victorious.

The game is scheduled for release in Japan on September 5, 2012, priced at ¥1,800. No word on a Western release date.
