Actually, we thought 2 exclamation points was a great way to indicate that there is a whole host of new stuff to see and do, without the indication of an entirely new sequel. So let me make this the official “more info” post. We’ll see if anybody on the world-wide interpages picks it up.
First things first. There are two fairly different versions of the game coming out this year. Let’s talk about Order Up!! as we all know and love it, but with new content and features! This will come out on Playstation 3 (Move), Nintendo 3DS (which I don’t think we told anyone yet), and a third (TBA) platform as well! Playstation 3 will feature split-screen cooperative and turn-based competitive multi-player! There are other new features, new high-res visuals and lighting, a new restaurant (complete with new food and a ninja waiter!), and several other changes and additions that players of the original release can discover, while new players take it all in for the first time! Oh, and you can play it in 3D (with the slick shutter glasses), while the 3DS version is 3D also (of course)!
Then there is the iOS game! It will be released for both iPhone/iPod and iPad. As for custom features for iPad 2, we’ll update it endlessly if it takes off, so we wouldn’t rule out anything. The iOS game is structured differently from console games, and has the player working and managing more things in order to build their empire of restaurants and skyrocket their ratings. Of course, the game still revolves around cooking gameplay and all of the personality that is built in to the characters and places you ‘ll see. In this version, restaurants are non-linear. You can buy and open them in any order, as long as you have enough coin. You also have to buy your food and supplies at the start of each day and be careful not to run out of popular dishes! It’s a different dynamic than the story-based game, so fans of Order Up!! will definitely want to check out both versions on their favorite devices and consoles!
For all versions of the game, there is also a brand new Burger Face experience to start you off. The endless text pop-ups in the original drove us nuts, but we were pressed for time. So we’ve gone back and redone the whole tutorial! Burger Face Drive-Thru!
As for an all new Order Up 2, we’re really hoping that we find a good-sized and dedicated audience by returning to our beloved Island Paradise of Port Abello! We have a fully featured sequel laid out that we’re dying to get a chance to create, if the games catch on. So spread the word! Order Up!! is coming and everyone should put down Angry Birds and Bullet Storm for a while and check it out! Think that will fly? ;-p
