NEEDS MOAR ALTON BROWN.
If you've ever watched the Food Network adaptation of the Japanese cooking show Iron Chef, you know who the real star is: Alton Brown. His witty commentary and slight mispronunciations of every Japanese term make for great Iron Chef America great. But this isn't about Alton. Sorry.
This is about chefs Mario Batali and Masaharu Morimoto and their appearance in the Wii and DS games Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine. Both of their voices and likenesses will be dropped into this virtual Kitchen Stadium for you to either battle as or against.
"I'm delighted to be involved with Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine," said Batali. "My videgame counterpart is as passionate and competitive in the virtual Kitchen Stadium as I am in real life, and I think the participation of Chef Morimoto and I adds a great level of authenticity to the game."
Adds Morimoto: "Having been an Iron Chef in both Japan and America, I am pleased to partake in another exciting frontier – videogames! Hopefully Iron Chef: Supreme Cuisine can inspire a new generation of great chefs."
Iron Chef America: Supreme Cuisine will release this fall.
Speaking of Morimoto, don't you hate how they subtitle his speaking? He's speaking English, you know!
[Update: We were hit with the Morimoto/Batali press release early this morning. This afternoon they hit us with another, announcing Alton Brown and Cat Cora. Don't tell me they're going to wait and add Bobby Flay later on, too.]

I saw the american version once, but it didn't compare to the greatness of the original to me.
And yeah, the original was the only I liked.

Anyway, I'm glad they still show the more superior Japanese version on cable. Since IC America is a joke. Sure, the American version focuses more on cooking, but the original had hilarious subplots throughout the series.
Hopefully she'll be a secret character.
I don't see the resemblance
But yeah, definitely needs moar AB
hell, they should just make a good eats game
Signed!
And yes, Alton Brown and the actual Iron Chefs being added to the game IS a great addition to hear about. :) Since I'm a fan of the show (both versions...the US version really isn't THAT bad...namely because of the AWESOME Alton Brown and Bobby Flay) and I like Cooking Mama, I can't wait to try this one out. Reminds me, I need to pick up Order Up! too.
