We have been seeing Marth amiibo restocks trickling in so far this May. Amazon has momentarily had some available, so quick in fact there wasn’t even time to get the news out. Now GameStop seems to be plagued with the same issue. Reports are currently indicating that although select GameStop’s are seeing Marth amiibo’s restocked, they are only receiving one or two per location. At this time the best course of action would probably be to call or stop in to your local shop and see if they have any available. Currently there is no confirmation of whether Marth will be made available on their website but stay tuned for more details.

This week’s Japanese 3DS Theme Shop sees new themes for Pushmo, Aeternoblade, ClariS and more! Check them all out in the video below:

Plenty of rumors have been circulating about Stella Glow developer Imageepoch. The company’s status has finally been made clear, and unfortunately, the news isn’t very good.

Imageepoch as well as affiliate Smile Online Game have both declared bankruptcy. The two sides have debts of 1.1 billion yen (roughly $11 million) and 3 million yen ($30,000) respectively. Imageepoch’s debt is owed to 43 creditors while Smile Online Game’s debt is owed to 5 creditors.

Back in 2011, Imageepoch made 1.751 billion yen (roughly 17.5 million) in annual income. That number dropped to 410 million yen (roughly 4.1 million) by 2013, and the company fell into debt due to game development costs and being unable to hit sales targets. Due to the worsening situation, Imageepoch ceased operations in November 2014.

Stella Glow is the latest title from Imageepoch, which is now being published by SEGA in Japan early next month. At the end of March, Atlus announced that the RPG would be coming to North America later this year.
