NanoBITES captures those small but important morsels of gaming information that otherwise might slip between the cracks.
ITEM! Capcom is preparing to spruce up and reissue another of its classic 2D fighting franchises. The Darkstalkers: Resurrection package for XBLA and PSN will include the second and third entries in the series when it arrives in early 2013.
ITEM! Early copies of forthcoming sci-fi sequel Halo 4 are ending up in the wrong hands. As reported by MCV, Microsoft is issuing permanent bans to users unwise enough to connect to Xbox Live while playing the game.
ITEM! Activision is removing the pay wall from its Call of Duty: Elite service for the release of Black Ops II. While membership will no longer entitle users to DLC, the media sharing and social networking features will be accessible to all.
ITEM! Publisher EA has inadvertently handed out thousands of free games according to a story on CVG. The snafu occurred when Origin visitors realised that they could use $20 discount codes handed out to survey respondents multiple times.
ITEM! Anyone looking for something (anything!) to play on the Vita will be pleased to hear that SideQuest Studios is bringing its stylish turn based RPG Rainbow Moon to the platform in 2013.
