Whatever happened to rhythm games? Sure, we all saw Guitar Hero and Rock Band achieve mainstream success, but what happened to the weird subset that blended the usual rhythm-based gameplay with unique visual styles and character-driven storylines? While games like Gitaroo Man and Parappa the Rapper became critical hits, the genre seems to have fallen off the radar lately (probably because you didn’t buy Elite Beat Agents*). Thankfully, there’s now Rhythm Thief, a Sega produced “rhythm game revival” of sorts. With the combination of Samba de Amigo director, Shun Nakamura, and Space Channel 5: Part 2 composer, Tomoya Ohtani behind the game it should be a success, but does it successfully follow the path paved by its predecessors?

Level-5 has been keeping quiet about another one of its 3DS titles, Fantasy Life, that’s been in the works for quite a long time. But the game has finally resurfaced in the latest issue of Famitsu, which confirms a 2012 launch for the game.

Brownie Brown is handling development. Level-5 is involved with planning and some development, Nobuo Uematsu is providing the title’s music, and Yoshitaka Amano is creating illustrations.

Local play is supported, as are SpotPass and StreetPass.

A release date will apparently be announced in next week’s issue.

HMV has acknowledged the error it made in publishing incorrect promotional material for the 3DS XL.

The image featured a fan-made, photoshopped 3DS mockup with two Circle Pads. You can take a look at the photo here.

Only one store featured the image, HVM says. It has since been removed.

An HMV spokesperson stated:

“It’s apparent this was just one particular store being a little over-enthusiastic – and the poster has been removed. If it’s caused anyone any issues then we’re sorry, but I’d say it doesn’t take much to work out this doesn’t represent the company’s retail offer for this release.”
