Iron Chef Game Listed, Then Pulled

Posted by Zonk on from the let-the-battle-begin dept.

Joystiq notes that a game based on the excellent Iron Chef television show on the Food Network is apparently in the works. Apparently, because the game was listed and then pulled within the last few weeks. "The game appears to be on the brink of an announcement, with a listing appearing and disappearing on Gamestop's website for DS and Wii versions of the game, and Siliconera's Spencer Yip indicating that an IC game was being created at Destineer. (Yes, that Destineer). We're already sharpening our knives in anticipation, but we have to ask: [how do we get] Alton Brown in the game?" Their post includes a great animated spot for the show.

    Well, there was the Iron Chef: Virtual Kitchen Stadium game for the Sega Saturn, but it's more a museum tour than a game.

    That said, I too would love the original Japanese show to come out with more material in the US. Sadly, I can't see Fuji TV allowing that.

    ever heard of Cooking Mama? there is a version for Wii and two for DS (Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends just came out in November). each of these games have received pretty good reviews.

    while the concept, admittedly, does not sound very exciting, it can, apparently, be successful.
