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

ITEM! Irrational Games co-founder Jonathon Chey is working with Magic: The Gathering creator Richard Garfield on a free-to-play title. The debut release from newly formed studio Blue Manchu will be Card Hunter, a browser based collectable card game.

ITEM! It seems that Mega Man fans just can’t take a trick. As reported by 1UP, Capcom has cancelled Mega Man Legends 3 for the 3DS just four months after pulling the plug on downloadable project Mega Man Universe.

ITEM! Ubisoft has confirmed (belatedly) that the PC version of Call of Juarez: The Cartel has been delayed until September. As noted by Joystiq, it was actually due in stores, alongside the 360 and PS3 versions, this week.

ITEM! As long rumoured, the Xbox 360 exclusivity of Q Entertainment’s Child of Eden will soon be coming to an end. According to Kotaku, the abstract sci-fi shooter will be making its way to the PS3 in September.

ITEM! SEGA has some bad news for those of us desperate for new 3DS software. As reported by Eurogamer, Shinobi and Crush3d have both been delayed from their September launch windows until November and early 2012 respectively.
