We really want to be charmed by Order Up!, but this gameplay video was more sleep inducing than a lecture on the merits of drying paint. We just can't help but feel a bit of a "been there, done that" vibe when it comes to this upcoming SuperVillain Studios title.
The promise of restaurant management elements seem like the game's one saving grace, as it sets Order Up! apart from the Cooking Mamas and Diner Dashes of the world. We would have much rather preferred to see a gameplay video of how the sim stuff works. However, since the game did show some initial promise, we'll approach it with an open mind when it releases in late July.
On a related note, Amazon and other retailers list a $39.99 price point for Order Up! Do you think that's still too high for the title, or does $40 hit your virtual restaurant-loving sweet spot?

I agree, how can this be a $40 game? I was expecting a $5 wiiware title. Wow.

Same as above, this is a retail game? This looks more like work than fun.

As a Wiiware game, this could be an interesting diversion. But definately not for $40.

... actually I thought it looked kinda fun. I'd consider buying it if the reviews were decent.

For one thing, people shouldn't be too harsh on this title. There are people who will like this game, and it obviously isn't for hardcore gamers (we've learned all about how Nintendo appreciates its core gamers from E3 this week, hahaha!). Plus, one thing people who say this should be a Wiiware title don't know is that this game has a butt load of levels and nearly like 70+ different recipes that you'll cook. There is a LOT more to this game than what is shown in this video. Go look on Gamespot.
