Numerous Toys R Us customers received emails from the retailer this morning, seemingly canceling their pre-orders for the Lucario <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/tag/amiibo/">amiibo</a> figure. As a Toys R Us spokesperson told Joystiq in a phone conversation today, the emails were part of a "technical issue," and pre-orders for the figure will not be canceled.<br />
<br />
Toys R Us added via email, "we apologize for any inconvenience that may have been caused pertaining to customers' amiibo pre-orders. Please know that we are working on an email communication to all customers effected, which will provide instructions on how we plan to fulfill their order." <span>The Lucario amiibo was revealed in </span><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2014/11/22/meta-knight-amiibo-exclusive-to-best-buy-lucario-to-toys-r-us/">November</a><span> as a Toys R Us-exclusive figure, though the retailer's <a href="http://www.toysrus.com/searchHandler/index.jsp?oos=true&amp;nullProductId=54369136">listing for the figure</a> is currently missing from its storefront. </span><span>Toys R Us was unable to offer specific inventory data for amiibo, but assured that the issue was unrelated to its supply of the figures.</span><p><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2014/12/19/toys-r-us-lucario-amiibo-pre-orders-not-being-canceled/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>Toys R Us: Lucario amiibo pre-orders not being canceled</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2014/12/19/toys-r-us-lucario-amiibo-pre-orders-not-being-canceled/">Toys R Us: Lucario amiibo pre-orders not being canceled</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Fri, 19 Dec 2014 14:04:00 EST.

Team Meat recently unveiled another aspect of <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/mew-genics"><em>Mew-Genics</em></a>' gameplay: furniture collecting. <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/game/super-meat-boy"><em>Super Meat Boy</em></a> creator Edmund McMillen discussed the game's furniture system in a <a href="http://www.mewgenics.com/148/Its_Caturday__time_to_talk_about_hoarding_/#b">blog post</a> on the game's site, drawing comparisons to Nintendo's Animal Crossing series.<br />
<br />
In <em>Mew-Genics</em>, players acquire furniture through Baby Jack's store then place it in a room in their house. Each piece of furniture, which belongs to one of five "types," influences a variety of stats in the game, from disease rates to each cat's life span. The five types of furniture are large, medium, small, wall furniture and those belonging to item sets. Team Meat says <em>Mew-Genics</em> will include 750 pieces of furniture in total, not including rare alternates for each one.<br />
<br />
The <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/11/26/push-two-cats-together-to-create-a-new-one-in-mew-genics/">cat genetics and breeding</a> game will launch in 2014 for Steam, iOS and Android. <p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2013/12/02/mew-genics-wants-you-to-hoard-attribute-boosting-furniture/">Mew-Genics wants you to hoard attribute-boosting furniture</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Mon, 02 Dec 2013 17:00:00 EST.
