Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice was originally on track to release last holiday. However, SEGA delayed the game last September. The company said this was done “to make sure the game has the time and polish needed”.

Liam Robertson is back with another report on a cancelled Factor 5 project. In a new video posted today, Robertson digs into the studio’s work on an open world Superman game in partnership with Brash Entertainment.

Factor 5’s Superman project was mainly planned for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360. However, the company insisted on making a version for Wii as well. Brash only ordered for game for the PS3 and Xbox 360, but Factor 5 still wanted to work with Nintendo’s console even though they wouldn’t be paid extra. Had the Superman game materialized, it’s expected that the Wii version likely would have been a scaled back form compared to the HD counterparts.

Check out Robertson’s full report below.

This month’s issue of V Jump has another update on Dragon Ball: Project Fusion. Thanks to the magazine, we have new information about some of the fusions.

V Jump introduces three fusions that can be found in the 3DS game: Pirilin (Piccolo x Krillin), Gorilin (kid Goku × Krilin), and Krigohan (Krillin x kid Gohan). Pirilin (some are also calling this Prilin) looks to be a standard fusion, whereas the other two are a bit unique. Gorilin and Krigohan use EX Fusion through a special arm band/bracelet created by Capsule Corp. This allows two people of different strength to merge.

Dragon Ball: Project Fusion is due out in Japan later this year.
