Gametrailers is a tremendous source for the latest and greatest game media floating around the Internet. The debut trailer for “Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine,” which is embedded after the jump, is a prime example. It is probably the best game trailer I have ever seen. Actually, it wins the silver medal. Nothing could beat this gem.
Regardless, the video has that so-atrocious-it-is-awesome thing going for it. The game, which was developed by Black Lantern Studios, is already available for the DS. The Wii version is scheduled to release on Dec. 2. You know, just in case you want to add it to your holiday wish list. I am not a big fan of the show, but I do laugh when people initiate multiple staring contests and make over-the-top hand gestures.
That video must have set them back a few Lincolns. Did you notice the quick camera cuts, the abundant smoke, the dramatic music and the multi-colored stage lights? High quality stuff Destineer.
Embedded below is gameplay footage taken from the DS version.
I might make fun of kitchen-based simulations, but they seem to be quite popular. According to this Gamasutra article, Majesco’s “Cooking Mama” franchise sold 1.6 million copies in the U.S. through Jan. 30, 2008. That number accounted for Wii and DS titles.

That was epic. I want that music.
Actually they used the actual set from the show in the top video. All the camera angles, lights, smoke are used in the real show.
We saw the DS version at PAX earlier this year. Game play was pretty lame but the voice over is hysterical.
Oh, by the way, the music is the Iron Chef theme song and the guy is the “chairman’s nephew” and host on the real show too. I love that show ….if you can’t tell
It’s a Food Network show if you’ve never seen it.

Me too! My wife and I watch it quite a bit actually.
