SEGA's New 3DS Rhythm Game Has the Best Name Ever
Posted by James Newton
Are you ready?
SEGA's supporting 3DS with some of its well-known franchises — Sonic Generations and Shinobi, for instance — but the company is preparing to unleash a brand new series on the console with one of the greatest game names we've ever heard. Are you ready?
According to Famitsu, SEGA's readying Rhythm Phantom Thief R: Inheritance of the Emperor Napoleon, a combination of adventure and rhythm gaming that sees the titular thief stealing treasures from The Louvre. Apparently the game will have an anime-style look that blends elements from Lupin with Professor Layton.
It's only 50% complete but hopefully we'll see some footage and shots in the coming days and weeks.

I dont think I will be picking this up. Ever. Because I dont like rythem games, anime imo is a tad ugly and that name is just rubbish. I mean what does the 'R' stand for? And what does Napoleon's enherotance have to to with rythem (unless its a musical instument). Oh well i think I will be the only one here hating this game and if you are buying it then good on you, youre helping the econemy go around.

It's spelled rhythm, it's right there in the article.
Anyway, I love rhythm games and platform games and I'd like to see them mixed more (Vib Ribbon anyone?)

I was hoping that this would be another Feel the Magic/Project Rub game. Still sounds pretty interesting though.

Sounds interesting. At first i imagined a platformer / rhythm game mix kinda like Henry Hatsworth.
But even if it was "just" a classical Point & Click adventure with rhythm game elements it could turn out to be good.

Hahah, I thought the same thing about the movie 'The rise of the planet of the apes'. Fooled me though, that movie was excellent.

Call me a cynic, but I feel like they're using this title as a gimmick to compensate for what is otherwise a rather sub-par game. Of course, I will reserve judgment till I actually see it...

Alone, these words mean little, together, they mean business.

The type of game sounds awesome but the anime is very generic. Anime can be great if it is unique but this is lacking a little. But I love the name and idea so I'll keep an eye on this.

I really don't care about the name. Specially when the localization will shoot it down with something a lot more generic sounding.
The genre itself sounds rather interesting. I can't help but think Elite Beat Agents after seeing those pics.
