Joystiq, JC Fletcher - "Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure is something I wouldn't expect to find in 2012: It's a narrative-based rhythm game, with all original music and high production values. I didn't think anyone would make something like that these days.
In fact, with its colorful, bright rendition of Paris, its stylish character designs, and its simple gameplay, Rhythm Thief gives me a distinct "Sega" vibe. But not 2012 Sega – good Sega, when insane, cartoony experiments were the order of the day. Rhythm Thief is proof that, somewhere deep within Sega, an ember of the company's Dreamcast-era style remains.
Sure, there are some nagging issues keeping it from perfection, but even a little bit of unevenness in keeping with the Sega experience."
The top 10 rarest 3DS games of all time are probably ones you both did and didn't expect. Especially if you had these games!
I have Fire Emblem Fates LE, the European one. Not sure if it's as valuable as the US version, but it certainly was in high demand.
Its not often I actually have games on the 'most expensive list' but I do own Rhythm Thief and Layton vs. Ace Attorney. I believe both of them are sealed as well.
Nice! Hopefully they re-release the Layton games on the Switch. Surprised they haven't already
AUTOMATON's Aki Darwich introduces Rhythm Thief & The Emperor's Treasure - a rhythm-based Nintendo DS title which you may have missed, but which definitely deserves a second chance.
Sega has been on a downward spiral for the last few years, they have failed to really reignite the flame for the Sonic series and haven’t really been able to deliver a must have game for a while. With this being the case many planned projects had to be cancelled but really what is surprising is how one game managed to slip through the cracks and that game being Rhythm Thief. The question is however why did this game slip through? It is simple some toe tapping music and a great story that really is set to deliver.
