Regional changes announced for Sega’s new 3DS rhythm-action game Rhythm Thief and the Emperor’s Treasure

More details have emerged concerning the European release of Sega’s 3DS rhythm-action game Rhythm Thief and the Emperor’s Treasure.

One such detail is the title we've just given you - the game was previously known under its Japanese title Rhythm Phantom Thief R: Inheritance of the Emperor Napoleon.

It'll involve playing as an honourable young thief famous for 'borrowing' artistic masterpieces through the medium of dance. You'll have to use your timing and rhythm to guide Raphael (formerly 'Ralph' - there's another new detail) and his dog Fondue around the streets of Paris.

So far we know that Raphael is searching for an explanation for his father’s disappearance using the mysterious ‘Wrist of Tiamat’.

The game will be released in "early 2012" and will feature multiplayer using the 3DS's StreetPass system.
