This is the first Theatrhythm to not make use of 3D. Theatrhythm Final Fantasy and Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call both had support for the feature.

Game Freak on why Tembo the Badass Elephant isn’t planned for Wii U
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 75 Comments
SEGA and Game Freak announced its new collaboration title today: Tembo the Badass Elephant. The game is coming to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC as a digital download, but not Wii U.
James Turner, director and character designer at Game Freak, was recently asked by Gamereactor about why Tembo isn’t coming to Nintendo’s console. Turner replied:
When I was writing the presentation documents for this game, I drew a mockup poster, and I put the Steam, PlayStation, and Xbox logos at the bottom. It seemed to fit, and it happened to stick that way. We thought about other hardware during development, but our hands were pretty full with those three platforms!
Turner was also asked about the possibility of bringing the game to other platforms in the future, such as 3DS. To this, he said: “Information on the potential for other platforms is classified. Right now our main mission is deployment on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.”
Nintendo of Germany customer service rep reaffirms that some amiibo will be restocked
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
Update: Daily Nintendo reports that a Dutch restock is happening this summer as a selection of the first four waves. This will apparently include Villager, Little Mac, Captain Falcon, and Marth.
We’ve heard from Nintendo before about how some amiibo will be restocked. Marth, for instance, is finally returning to U.S. store shelves later next month. Other figures will be reproduced depending on demand and available shelf space in stores.
This is something that a Nintendo of Germany customer service representative essentially reaffirmed to one fan. After sending in an email because pre-orders for the new Smash Bros. amiibo wave sold out so quickly, he received the following response:
We will reproduce several amiibo, which have been sold out after only a few hours. This will take some time. We sold our 5.7 million amiibo worldwide, which exceeded our expectations. This is also a reason that our production is delayed.
