Rhythm Thief (Also known as Rhythm Thief R in Japan) & the Emperor's Treasure is an exclusive for the Nintendo 3DS. The game is made by Sega and cameos many of Sega's other rhythm games such as "Space Channel 5" and "Samba De Amigo". The game looks great and I'm probably going to pick it up once it comes out. Definitely one of the must-own titles for the 3DS. I haven't seen the game getting attention and it would be unwise to ignore it. Support Sega and support this IP!

The game stars a boy (Raphael ) and his dog named Fondue. His father left him and left him a coin with an unique mark. A necklace on the Louvre has a similar mark so he sets out to get it. Along the way, unexplainable things happen such as Emperor Napoleon returning from the dead.

It looks like it'll be a TBA 2012 release. I'm hoping it sells good and maybe Sega will go back and do more with their rhythm franchises.

It's almost as if Professor Layton, Segagaga, and Rhythm Heaven all got together one night and had one explosive baby of unmatched musical proportions. Great concept, too.

I can't wait for this game, the following video pretty much cemented my need for this game:



By the way, kid's name is Raphael

I think it looks pretty fun actually.

@Colar Bear - Thanks for the info! I updated my post with it.

I was already interested in this game, but that video just made it a guaranteed purchase.

Absolutely love rhythm games, and this game involves the microgames with a nice story and other neat things. Instant buy.

My only complaint is that the English voices aren't the best. The story trailer has a lot of monotone moments and laughable voice overs.
"Who are you."
"please help me"
"pardon me... come on"

[Thigolf]

Hehe, yeah, I love how the main character whispers no matter how exciting the situation is.

Nice SP5 throwback there. I was already interested in this game, but now it's become a must have when I finally own a 3DS.

[Shigeru Miyamoto]

Oh yeah, there's a Samba De Amigo one, too.

Oh man! I love rhythm games and I so want a part of this!!! The gameplay looks so damn fun!

There's actually a demo of the game officially by SEGA you can play online:

Oh god, throwbacks to both Space Channel 5 and Samba de Amigo, I wonder what other game will get a few references here. Can't wait to get this!

Ironic that there probably won't be an actual demo for it on the system. Then again, this is coming from SEGA; the company that still hasn't managed to sort out their * and get a few measly manuals online despite the games having been ready since September.

[Blue Blood]

This is one of those times I must forget how much I dislike the character design and enjoy everything else about the game.

Oh yeah, there's a Samba De Amigo one, too.

God, and to think I actually wanted this game before finding out this song was confirmed to be in. Pah, I don't want it after seeing that...






I NEED IT.

According to the eShop, it's out in the USA! Anyone got it yet? I'm really looking forward to picking this one up!

Aw man, I guess it isn't out?

Europe's eShop has a demo since thursday, and holy shit, this game's awesome. Or at least the demo is. It has three levels (the demo of course): In the first one, you dance in front (or on) various sights in Paris, in the second one, you run through the Louvre, hiding behind statues so the guards don't see you and in the last one, you fight against the minions of the bad guys. The music is awesome, the control works perfectly and the graphics look beautiful. If you live in Europe and got a 3DS, download the demo, it probably won't disapoint you.
