Rhythm Thief & The Emperor's Treasure for 3DS

[wraggster]

The publisher announced Rhythm Thief earlier this month in its Japanese guise, which translates as Rhythm Phantom Thief R: Inheritance of the Emperor Napoleon, but has confirmed a western localisation - and, thankfully, a shorter name - in a press release this afternoon. The game casts players as Raphael, the titular thief, on a quest to discover the truth behind his father's disappearance in Paris with a blend of puzzle-solving and rhythm action. While the visuals may draw inspiration from Level-5's Layton series, the sight of a three-man dance team on a Nintendo handheld brings to mind Inis' DS classic Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan, which can only be a good thing. Rhythm Thief will be released for 3DS - with multiplayer and StreetPass support - early next year
