Sega and Nintendo have announced today that their upcoming rhythm action adventure tile, Rhythm Thief and the Emperor’s Treasure, will be getting a Western release and has been confirmed to happen on 12 April 2012 exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS handheld.

Rhythm Thief and the Emperor’s Treasure  will attempt to combine the traditional rhythm mini-game collection format with a proper adventure story to deliver a unique portable gaming experience. The game will feature over 50 rhythm based challenges and take place in a 3D anime style Paris where you play as Raphael, a performance criminal with the goal to rob artifacts from famous museums…only to return them later.

Not only will the title feature a single player story mode, but it will also allow players to challenge other players in a variety of rhythm based puzzle challenges.

A playable demo can now be downloaded from the eShop.

Gust’s Proiject A14 is Atelier Ayesha

It was revealed today via Dengeki PlayStation that the official name for Gust’s Project A14 is now being called Atelier Ayesha. In this reveal we see two characters introduced to readers in the form of main character Ayesha Artool and Nio Artool, the main character’s sister. This game will also feature a new character designer known as Hidari, who handled the character designs for the Fractal anime.

The plot of the game will follow Ayesha who goes on a journey to search for her little sister Nio who has gone missing. In the image above, Ayesha is the blond female. One of the new features that will be included in this Atelier game will be a system that is being called “Connect the Memories.” Expect more details as time goes on as Atelier Ayesha is set to be released in Japan on June 28th with a hopeful localization announcement for the West coming sometime after that.

Here is some awesome news for all of you PSO fans. Phantasy Star Online 2, which will launch later this spring for the PC, has now been given the free to play treatment. After years of monthly fees, this will mark a first for the franchise that truly started the console MMO, but those expecting a free ride completely might want to open their wallets a bit, as an “item transaction system” will be utilized to rid the game of it’s monthly fees and assist in keeping the servers open.

PSO2 will also be seeing a release on the iOS and Android, which will be smaller but more social versions of the main game, and is expected to launch this fall. Vita owners still have the longest wait, with a 2013 release date listed for Sony’s latest handheld. Thankfully, that time should be made up entirely with the PC/Vita cross platform play that both releases will offer.

Everyone may have expected it but it seems that Tales of Xillia may be getting localized for release in North America. Siliconera has discovered another listing from Namco Bandai which registers the Tales of Xillia name for use in video game software and other games.

Now at the moment this is currently just a rumor as Namco Bandai has never made an official announcement about the game being released in the West, though there is a very high chance of this as there are plenty of fans of the Tales series waiting for this release to come overseas. It is worth noting that the localization chances of this game may depend on how well the recently released Tales of Graces F does in sales.

While we wait for the highly anticipated June release of Lollipop Chainsaw, the team behind this crazy looking game has decided to start a rather interesting promotion campaign.  What they have done is transform an old run down school bus into an awesome tour bus with console set ups, beautiful interior design, and above all a cool Lollipop Chainsaw themed paint job complete with blood splatter.

In much similar vein to how Sega once promoted Sonic the Hedgehog by doing a nationwide bus tour for the title, the Lollipop Chainsaw school bus will be doing a nationwide tour in North America. You can check out the making of this cool bus below and keep an eye out for when it passes by your city.

We’ve heard a little bit about Connor, also known as Ratohnhaké:ton though we will refer to him as Connor for spelling mistakes sake. However we haven’t seen what type of weaponry he will be officially using when the game is released and in this trailer we get to see a few of his weapons.

Nothing too new is revealed besides the fact he is going to be using two pistols and does indeed wield a hidden blade. Then again, that tomahawk looks extremely flimsy with its hollow axe head. Seems like it could break any minute doesn’t it? Anyways, check out the brief trailer below to get a closer look at the weapons.

Google Play Debuts as Rebranded Android Market

Anyone on Google may have notice a bright red “New” next to Play, situated between Maps and YouTube.  What is Google Play?  Well, most simply it is a rebranding of the Adroid Market.  Google Play allows users to rent Movies or download Music, Books, and Android Apps from either a browser or their Android phone, while allowing them to use it on the other.

Each category is associated a color: music – orange, books – blue, movies – red, and apps – green.  Navigating for what you want is simple enough with tops, features, and genres in each category, but searching for what you want depends on whether or not you’re in a category.  Searching on the main will separate results by category, but searching in a category will focus on only that one and separate results into different breakdowns relevant to the category.

All very simple enough, so here’s hoping the rebranding works out for them.  Then again, this is Google.

Namco Bandai loves their teaser websites and today they have revealed a new one. This time around they have launched a countdown site that contains nothing besides a flashing X. What could this game possibly be about? What consoles is it on? Who knows at this point.

The teaser site can be found here. Feel free to take a guess at what possible games this could be about, though it is worth noting that Namco Bandai loves crossover titles and has already released an anime based game, One Piece Pirate Musou in Japan. Could this be a possible Hunter X Hunter title or are we just getting our hopes up?
