man i am in love with the music already!

Cool, I don't see the reason why they shoudn't bring this outseas. The Artstyle is fairly Cartoon-like and simple(especially the Dog). And Elite Beat Angels, Phoenix Wright and Layton made it too.

Unless there are some really Japanese Audience focused collabrations and Music. We'll see.

Awesome BGM.

3DS most interesting game so far... I'd like to see how they implement the action/adventure parts.

[Happy Cat]

I like the artstyle and the music

too bad the game will probably never get brought overseas =P

[Trippled]

3DS needs any Software it can get tough.

I can understand Otaku-oriented stuff like recent Shining games or Miku not coming to the West, but stuff like Border Break and this seem fairly marketable I think.

Loving the music! Like a mix between Space Channel 5 and the Sonic Adventure casino stage.

I swear, some parts at the beginning of this video sound like the intro of Sonic Adventure 2 Battle:

I just got word from Tomoya Ohtani's Facebook page that he's doing music.

[STORM!]

Is it published or made by Sega?

The creator of this game is the same guy who worked on Team Andromeda. He has worked on Panzer Dragoon RPG, Billy Hatcher, SONIC 2006, etc... so, I believe it is developed by Sega.

This game just makes me smile.  From what little I've seen and heard, it seems that it will sit comfortably alongside the likes of Space Channel 5 and Jet Set Radio with its utterly unusual and inspired silliness.

...Shun Nakamura...

[ROJM]

Well this just looks like another LOVE+BERRY game without the cards but aimed at Sega traditionalists.

Game's been confirmed for a western release as Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's Treasure:

That's great that it's coming out in the West. Shun Nakamura is also alright as long as he isn't involved in Sonic or a Plattformer.

Has the Final Version of Border Break in the Arcades been released? Cause I think I see a pattern with an Arcade games like After Burner Climax and VF5 FS where after a while when the Final Revision has been released in the Arcades they'll bring it too Digital Plattforms or elsewhere. Stuff like Miku and Shining games will probably never come, leave that Stuff to Atlus...

Anyway, 2012 is looking pretty great so far, will it it top 2010? Man we get 3 new IP's, early next year. Reminds me of Dreamcast days...
