Trivia / Rhythm Thief & the Emperor's Treasure

• Acclaimed Flop: Despite positive reviews, the game didn’t sell that well.
• Stillborn Franchise: The game failed to meet Sega's expectations, and no sequel has been announced since then. Its iOS adaptation was also terminated by mid-2015. The only acknowledgements Sega has of the game was a cameo in the company's Vanity Plate for the Sonic the Hedgehog movie and "Theme of Phantom R" being a hidden CD track in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth.
• What Could Have Been: The game was originally meant to be a title for the Nintendo DS. Here are some screenshots as proof.
