You know how we told you about DLC for the iPhone and iPad versions of Bit.Trip Beat a few days back? During an appointment with developer Gaijin Games here at PAX, Alex Neuse confirmed the exact nature of the DLC tracks: they’re Bit.Trip Void songs! He informed Joystiq that the tracks weren’t actually being developed by Gaijin Games, but were instead being crafted by the iPhone/iPad version’s publisher, Namco-Bandai. Neuse is looking forward to trying the new tracks, as you’d imagine — it’s not every day you have an opportunity to be stumped by your own game, you know?

Panasonic must be mighty annoyed right about now, because Toshiba’s seemingly got it trumped — when the first batch of lightning-quick UHS-I cards ship in November, Toshiba’s chips will be faster and larger on day one. As you can no doubt see immediately above, the latter company’s fielding full-size SDHC UHS-I cards at up to 32GB that promise maximum read and write times of 95MB/s and 80MB/s respectively, not to mention tiny microSDHC units that still manage a very respectable 40MB/s and 20MB/s. As per usual, these numbers are fast and loose, so don’t be surprised if you get a good bit less in practice, but we imagine you should be able to rely on at least the quoted minimum transfer rate of 10MB/s. No ludicrous early-adopter memory prices quite yet, but we imagine your ego will write the necessary checks as soon Toshiba takes care of that. PR after the break.

Other than a teaser image and a fall release window, we’ve heard little to nothing on the next Bit.Trip title from Gaijin Games, Fate . That all changed this past week with the reveal of the game’s premise and its first gameplay trailer on the developer’s website . Fate will have players controlling CommanderVideo along a guided path (in 2D), aiming and firing his various weapons by pointing the Wiimote at the screen. The game also features “appearances from Super Meat Boy and Mr. Robotube,” as well as a kickin’ dubstep soundtrack that, frankly, we’ve been jamming too since we first found out about.

Friday at PAX 2010, Capcom rented out a joint in downtown Seattle and turned it into a Dead Rising hardware store. They passed around this bogus ad circular to hype the party. Now we go to work on it. More »

Hothead revealed Swarm for the first time back at E3 . Then, we didn’t know much about the game — it’s actually still in pre-Alpha, despite a launch window of “early 2011.” Today, we were given a demo of the game at PAX and finally understood what we were dealing with. It’s hard to see the game and not compare it to Lemmings . Both games have a seemingly dull-witted cast who have found themselves inexplicably stuck in an incredibly dangerous environment. And both have the same means to persevere: teamwork.

Sony Ericsson’s booth at IFA this year includes an Xperia -themed chopper that you can sit on and have your picture taken — with a Sony Ericsson cameraphone, of course. As of press time, no word on when it’ll be updated to use unleaded gasoline. Chris: “It’ll be available at local dealers mere moments after you finally stop wanting it.” Nilay: “Unfortunately, it runs Android 1.6″ Darren: “A fine substitute for the PSP Phone you’ve been dreaming of.” Laura: “Fail hog.” Ross: “Still no pinch-to-zoom, but at least here, that kind of makes sense.” Don: “Mr. Stringer, your chariot awaits.” Vlad: “Sony just couldn’t help throwing in a bit of product placement in its Terminator 2 remake.” Tim: “It’s bigger, heavier, slower, and way more expensive than other models — but hey, look at all that chrome! Oh, yeah, the bike isn’t bad either.” Sean: “Active shutter glasses sold separately.” Thomas : “**Model shown is coming soon. Actual product is a horse.” Caption contest: nothing easy about this rider originally appeared on Engadget on Sun, 05 Sep 2010 12:12:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds .

THREEE DEEE. Sorry, just had to get that out of our system. We just played with Panasonic’s HDC-SDT750 THREEE DEEE, er, 3D camcorder, and it certainly works as billed. The lens is designed for close-up depth perception in the 3 to 15 foot range, and doesn’t have any zoom capability. Luckily, it isn’t too hard to pop the screw-on lens off, giving yourself a regular zoomtastic 2D camcorder. When you do pop the 3D lens back on there’s a quick set of setup menus, which let you adjust the dual lenses within the 3D add-on with a few knobs hidden under a door on top of the assembly
