Toys “R” Us started sending out emails yesterday about amiibo pre-orders that were accidentally cancelled due to an internal error. You likely received one of two messages. The first one states that your order (or orders) was automatically reinstated. We’re also now aware of a second that informs consumers that their pre-order couldn’t be reinstated, but the items can be re-ordered.
So what’s the difference? Toys “R” Us has explained that those who paid with PayPal or gift cards couldn’t have their orders return automatically. Still, the retailer will soon send out instructions about how they can reorder their item.
The difference is in fact due to the form of payment. If paid through PayPal or gift card it is not possible to automatically reinstate an order. However, as mentioned, all customers will receive communication with instructions on if they need to and how to reorder their item.

Unseen64 has dug up some information and assets pertaining to a cancelled Game Boy Advance title known as “Overstorm”. Quantized Bit was developing the action/platform game over a decade ago and only showed it publicly at a 2003 gaming convention.
Overstorm resurfaced through one of Quantized Bit’s releases earlier this year. The company gave away an alpha build of the game – comprised of five levels – in a Indiestand sale of their last product, Volt.
