NanoBITES captures those small but important morsels of gaming information that otherwise might slip between the cracks.

ITEM! Capcom has announced plans to release a remixed version of Dead Rising 2 featuring original series protagonist Frank West in place of sequel star Chuck Green. Due on 360, PS3 and PC in spring 2011, Dead Rising 2: Off the Record will also boast some new missions and environments.

ITEM! The next batch of Call of Duty: Black Ops DLC has emerged from cover. According to Activision, the Escalation pack will contain five new maps (including a zombie themed map). Look for it on Xbox Live in the first week of May and on other platforms later in the year.

ITEM! The latest Harvest Moon title is being brought to the west by Natsume. Set for release on 3DS and DS, Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns will see the villages of Konohana and Bluebell clash over which is the ultimate foodies’ destination.

ITEM! Super Street Fighter IV: Arcade Edition is coming to 360, PS3 and PC. The new version, which will be available either as a standalone disc or as DLC for Super Street Fighter IV, rebalances the existing roster and also offers up four new combatants. Capcom is aiming for a winter 2011 release.

ITEM! If you’ve spent the last five years pining for a sequel to Nintendo mini-game collection Wii Play, your prayers are about to be answered. Like its predecessor, Wii Play: Motion will be bundled with a Wii Remote when it arrives in mid 2011.
