Remember Nintendo’s 8-bit Summer promotion? Sonic Labyrinth and Sonic Blast were originally intended to be released during the time of its campaign, but neither game landed on the 3DS eShop.

That should be changing soon. The eShop has been updated and both titles are said to be coming soon. Each will cost $4.99 when they are finally made available.

A couple of months back, Akihiro Suzuki noted how the Wii U’s CPU was presenting a challenge in making Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper. Reports had surfaced from TGS that the game possessed a lower-than expected frame rate and fewer on-screen enemies compared to other Dynasty Warriors titles.

Suzuki promised an improved performance for Hyper before release, but unfortunately, it doesn’t seem as though the team was able to completely deliver.

Destructoid editor Jim Sterling wrote on Twitter recently that Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper’s frame rate is “noticeably worse than the PS3 version.” In a separate tweet, Sterling wrote that it is “very bad in Warriors Orochi 3 at times.”

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Unchained Blades came out on North American PSN (PSP) months ago. The 3DS eShop version, however, has been in limbo.

Publisher XSEED says it is “struggling” to release the 3DS edition. Having said that, the company hopes to finally launch the game next month.

And what about the sequel, Unchained Blades Exiv? Once the original game comes out on the eShop, XSEED may begin to consider localizing on the follow-up.

Rayman Legends was supposed to have a demo on the eShop for the Wii U’s launch. Strangely, it never made it out this past Sunday and it still isn’t available. Where is it?

We did reach out to Ubisoft about the situation a couple of days ago. As of this moment, we haven’t heard back. If and when the company responds, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Did your favorite SEGA characters not find their way into Sonic & All-Stars Racing? Well then, now you have a chance to make your voice heard!

Sumo Digital’s Steve Lycett is asking fans to come together on the official SEGA forums and come up with three top characters they would like to see in the new racer. If at least 1,000 unique people show their support per character, Lycett promises to “present the results to SEGA.”

“I’ll set you a challenge. Without any policing from the SUMO or SEGA crew, if you can all agree on three characters by the 1st of December and prove there is sufficient interest of at least 1000 unique people *per* character, I will present the result to SEGA. I can’t promise anything will happen as a result, but since you’re starting it… Let’s see if you can organise yourselves in the next few weeks to pull that off!”

You can participate in the discussion here.
