The introduction of new characters keep things feeling fresh as they all play differently. Most of the stages in a world are different from one another too which keeps things interesting. Into world 3 now and it's definitely getting more challenging!
Sounds great, thanks!
Does the game allow you any freedom or creativity in how you tackle the stages (different rhythms or musical accents depending on how you play, where you jump, what you hit, etc.), or is there a strict pre-determined "perfect" run that you have to achieve?

There are multiple routes on a few of the stages, so you can definitely tackle them in different ways. Some routes will be filled with notes and others instruments to hit etc.
apparently it's quite a short game, all levels seem to be completable in under 4 hours. (according to NintenDaan)
Sounds good. That's about the length I'd want from this type of game + replayability.

That seems acceptable for an eShop game, right?

I'm 2 hours in and honesty, I feel like I've got my 1800 Yen/~£17 worth already. It'll have to be a bit cheaper to do well in the West, but there's a lot to do here if you're a completionist.
Great.
3 hours and a half are quite short but I guess it doesn't really matter. The game sounds very good. I want it to come to Europe soon...
Normally it wouldn't be a problem, but at 1800 Yen... not so sure
I understand there are more than 50 levels, which does sound like a fair amount, even if they don't take too long to complete. Whatever the price, still excited to get my hands on it eventually.

Just finished it. How do I go about
. Also, how do I
accessing these Pokemon stages?
remove the lock in Symphony City? Seems I need 5 of those bird things. Have one already but not sure how they're unlocked :/
Go to the stage select menu (Y button) to access Pokemon levels, they are the stages before the prologue level. The birds are scattered across the game usually in off-beat paths, so far I've collected 3.

Nintendo just read this post and an email is on its way to you asking how you would like their policy to be because they GOTTA get your sale!

I just got Drill Dozer in the mail today. I love it. I completely missed the GBA era. What are some other GBA games I should pick up?

Wow, they have my favourite track from Gold/Silver (the credits theme, I think)
Shame the person playing it really, really sucks.

Yeah.
I wouldn't usually mind but it really impacts watching it!

Sorry to bump.this thread but is there any news on this game coming to the west yet? If I recall it has English voice acting in the menus and only needs the small amount of text translated?

Chances are, if there was news, you'd have no trouble finding it.
Also just googling "HarmoKnight North America" would answer that; if nothing, then no.
you should be sorry for bumping up a game that will never come to the West any time soon !

Oh you I havent talked to you in forever lol.Chances are, if there was news, you'd have no trouble finding it.

I guess it's only a matter of time since we got Denpa Men.
Thats 50/50. Remember Disaster? My point exactly. So, don't necessarily keep your hopes up.

I think eShop games are an easier sell. If Denpa Men and 3/4 of Guild01 can come over, anything can.

They localized Pokemon Conquest...just the fact that it has connections TO Pokemon (no matter how vague) makes it enough to bring over here.
Why would you do that?
Member
Genius Sonority I think brought that over themselves. Game Freak may have to do the same. They said they were looking into the best way to bring it to the West, IIRC.
They did, which makes me think Nintendo wants to release it at retail.
Why would you do that?

Coming to America, yay!
Only "soon," though, but better than no announcement at all
