A new trailer and screens have cropped up for Rhythm Thief & The Emperors Treasure.

The upcoming rhythm title is set to hit Europe at the start of next year and SEGA have just unleashed a batch of new screens with a new trailer. Game-play wise it looks like a mix of Elite Beat Agents and Space Channel 5 as the game will require you to bust a move in certain situations to proceed.

The latest batch of screens show off some of the things you'll have to do in order to keep in time with the music like tapping certain colour coded icons and moving the 3DS in a certain way.

The new trailer below shows a dance scene and you'll notice some of the controls appear on screen which require the player to tap in time with the other dancers. It's been confirmed that the game will feature J-Pop though whether or not songs are by the original artists is yet to be seen. There's currently no word on if the track listing will change for Europe but as with most rhythm/dance games it most likely will change as to appeal to Western tastes.

What do you think of the upcoming quirky rhythm game? Will you be picking it up when it's released?
