Pokemon devs launching 3DS eShop game in Japan next week
Pokémon developer Game Freak is launching a new game, Rhythm Hunter: Harmo Knight, on the Japanese 3DS eShop next Wednesday. The news came from this morning’s Nintendo Direct broadcast, hosted by Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata.
Harmo Knight is a rhythm action game featuring 2D side-scrolling levels and, yup, some Pokémon music. The levels are set to a variety of tunes, and players have to run, jump, and attack in time with the music. The play looks similar to that of rhythm-based platformer Bit.Trip Runner.
No word on any international release, of course, but with the Pokémon tie-in it seems likely. Andriasang notes Nintendo will release an Iwata Asks for the game later today.Pokemon devs launching 3DS eShop game in Japan next week originally appeared on Joystiq on Wed, 29 Aug 2012 08:30:00 EST.
