Without a doubt, Rhythm Thief will prove to be one of the oddest 3DS titles released this spring. Focusing on a young thief named Raphael's quest to find his father, the game mixes touch-based puzzles, beat-based challenges and map-based exploration to create an experience that feels mildly disjointed, yet calls upon some of the ideas of another franchise - Level-5's Professor Layton...

During a recent investor Q&A, the observation was brought up to Nintendo President Satoru Iwata that the 3DS has seen significant growth in popularity among those who classify themselves as "hardcore" gamers.
