Rhythm Thief & The Emperor’s Treasure review
Posted on 12 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in 3DS, Reviews | 0 comments

Developer: Sega
Publisher: Sega
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?

Pachter’s Activision/Wii U Pro controller comments not based on inside info
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Wedbush Securities analyst Michael Pachter says that his recent comments regarding Activision motivating Nintendo to make the Wii U Pro controller centered around nothing more than an “educated guess”.
Pachter said today:
“I am putting two and two together to conclude that Activision put pressure on them. I do not know this either first-hand or third-hand; nobody told me. I am merely deducing it from what we know, and it’s an educated guess.”
I actually thought this was understood based on the way Pachter’s comments were worded. He did say that Activision never told him anything, and he didn’t make it seem as though he received any inside information. Anyway, Pachter has now made it clear that he was just voicing his feelings, so hopefully we can put those quotes behind us.
