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

ITEM! Square Enix has rolled out another batch of downloadable costumes, this time in collaboration with BioWare. From today, Final Fantasy XIII-2 leads Serah and Noel will have access to the futuristic N7 armour featured in Mass Effect 3.

ITEM! If you’ve been scouring the shelves for a 3DS copy of Rayman Origins, you might as well take a breather. As reported by Eurogamer, the colourful old school platformer has been bumped to June.

ITEM! Vigil Games has confirmed that Darksiders II will be a part of the Wii U launch line up. Lead designer Hayden Dalton told Digital Spy that the controller will allow you to “do certain things that you can’t do on the other consoles.”

ITEM! Get ready for the third Infinity Blade title in as many years.  Set generations prior to the events of the first game, Infinity Blade: Dungeons appears to have as much in common with Diablo as it does its predecessors. Look for it on iOS later this year.

ITEM! A release date has been announced for the bizarre looking 3DS adventure Rhythm Thief and the Emperor’s Treasure. You’ll be able to follow the exploits of a Parisian burglar on Thursday 12 April.
