We're all quite excited about Rhythm Hunter: HarmoKnight here at Nintendo Life - it was arguably one of the highlights of the Japanese Nintendo Direct broadcast last week. Combining platforming with rhythm action, the game launches in Japan this week, although a western release hasn't been confirmed as yet.
However, should HarmoKnight ever succeed in breaking out of The Land of the Rising Sun and landing himself on western shores, you may want to make sure you have a bigger SD card. According to NintenDaan's Twitter account, the game occupies over 2000 blocks on your SD card - almost as much space as New Super Mario Bros. 2 takes up.
Sounds like we could have an epic game on our hands...or it could mean that the number (and quality) of the songs available in the game has resulted in a large download. Pick whichever reason excites you the most!

Sound fine to me.
Now hurry up and bring it over here. D:
I have plenty of blocks to burn... now gimme gimme gimme!
211,398 blocks left... I think I can handle it.
This game is actually really fun! The Pokemon stage is hilarious (yet freakishly hard).
Well I guess that it shows that it is a substantial title, backed up by the fact that it is 1800 Yen (about over $20).
@BenAV Wow! How big is your SD card?
32 GB.
There's seemed to be a fair bit of Englisg in the trailer anyway, so I can't see why it couldnt be released outside of Japan, especially from a big name like Gamefreak
I do love me some innovative rhythm games (especially Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure ) so I'm quite looking forward to this one leaving Japan!
@Buob That's good to hear. I wasn't knowing what to suspect from this one, though I knew I was going to get it if it comes stateside. Lucky you.
As for storage, I got no problems with the size. Still got plenty of space on my 32GB SD card.
I am glad I got the 16GB card!
I guess all these blocks,add up to the cost.
It says it released 5th of August, but I think you guys mean 5th of Sep!
I don't have a 3ds yet, so I wouldn't know this, but retail 3ds games now take blocks of data? If so, then why?
@Ezekiel You can buy NSMB2 on the eShop to. If you do that, it will obviusly take up data.
Don't care. I'm good. Now give it to the US eShop, Nintendo!
Mighty Switch Force is about 1800 blocks for some reason. So a big download does not necessarily mean a big game.
@A-Hungry-Banker "I guess all these blocks,add up to the cost."
HAHA! An apt observation to be sure.
Gengar's next evolution is pretty bad-a$$!
harmo knights is going to be bigger
Looks great! it's good to see quality titles finally hit the Eshop where probably 70% of the games are absolutely hideous. Come on Nintendo you need to be doing it better than Android and Apple where 90% of the games in their shops are hideous. Definately a step in the right direction
If this comes stateside and it is as good as it looks, then I would buy a new SD card solely for this. I could also delete all those demos I don't touch anymore.
I see GameFreak is also working on this. Sounds good to ME!
I'll be happy if EU and NA got this AND Picross e tomorrow
I'm surprised no one has mentioned that this is going to play a lot like BIT.TRIP RUNNER
@ ninryan
lol you JUST got bored of Nintendo Video? I thought it was a waste of space and a piece of crap of an app about a month. nothing good ever really shows on it (can't really blame them though)
A must buy but my SD card dose not have the room for it
I hope there's a demo. I would think we'll be getting it.
I may have to clear off or get a new SD card though. The one it came with isn't quite cutting it anymore, and I'd the new Pokedex app will be pretty big too.
Lovely artwork!
