So the first Nintendo Revolution software to be revealed as being playable over in Kyoto turns out to be the Chinese wok simulator as seen in the Revolution tech demo at this years Tokyo Game Show.
In a great interview with Games Life, Nintendo producer Hideki Konno mentions that the wok sim has set the offices alight.
We're thinking of so many different things. We're still at the stage where we're trying so many different things. We're doing things with big, expansive movements and smaller, more concise movements. It's hard to narrow it down to one over the other. Did you see the Tokyo Game Show video? We actually have things using the movements you saw. Like the cooking game. We have this game with a big wok that you use to cook Chinese food, and it's really interesting to have the meat and vegetables frying in there, and use the controller to flip the food around without it spilling out of the pan.
Of course, this got us wondering are all the other tech demos seen from the TVs perspective real, existing software? The wok simulator, that well refer to from here on in as Wok: Chinese Food Master Gaiden III, was twinned with a slicing game. We wonder if thats on the go in Nintendos offices too

hmmm wasnt there an episode of grim and mandy where billy is playing a cooking sim... and they chose a cooking sim why, because its about the least intresting game idea they could think up.
Please guys dont pimp your system to gamers pimp it to cooks, but last even cooks wouldnt pay for that shit when they can do it for real.
Well they already confirmed a new Smash Bros. and another game that eludes me at the moment, and Metroid is already playable, but I suppose the big-name games are givens and not worth considering as being "confirmed".

IGN has most of the info spread around various articles. There isn't a whole lot out there, basically just promises from Nintendo execs that certain games are on their way.

Mentions Smash Bros. at launch, then mentions new mario, new zelda and metroid 3. Other articles also mention these games again, including an interview directly with Miyamoto (who mentions that extensive testing on possibilities with Mario are being done).
IGN's hands-on preview of the revolution controller also mentions that they played a modified Metroid 2, saying: "Developer Retro Studios apparently created the Prime 2 demo in order to test the waters, so to speak, for its upcoming Metroid Prime 3". They seemed impressed.
Scott, will $12 make me the head chef of a restaurant and grant me superb cooking skills at no risk of chopping my fingers off or is the idea of a cooking sim not actually that bad?
Trust me when i say this. You would be better off using the 350 you would have to pay for the rev and the game, on cooking books, pans and food. Then you could be a cook, but no game is going to get you a job cooking. Just like no fishing game will help catch a real fish.

Just like no first person shooter will make you a SAS soldier..

Yes, because as we all know, this is going to be the only game released for the Rev and it's obviously going to suck even though no one here has played it
Keyser is right- I dont see the point in ragging on this one or two sentance quote that Nintendo is playing with some innovative new gameplay ideas. It sounds to me more like they are experimenting with their new hardware to produce new gameplay styles to introduce new consumers/ users to the field of "video-games".
This sort of thing could fit right in to a Revolution version of WarioWare (one of my favourite games in a long time) or something along those lines... If you describes the mechanics of Wario Ware - it would sound banal aswell... 3 seconds to sniff a snot back up a nose? WOW!!! 5 seconds to guide a paper plane through a asic maze? WOOPEE!!! Its only when you pick up the game and play it, preferably with other people, that the real magic comes alive.
If a game can make my gf a better cook, then I'm all for it. :P
