Get cooking with the America's Test Kitchen trailer


No, it's not Metroid or Mario or even Sin & Punishment, but ask yourself one question: Will any of those games teach you how to create your own sustenance? Unless you're planning on cooking up some fried Skree with your arm-mounted energy cannon, the answer is no. So, since even the most avid gamers get tired of ramen and Red Bull, Nintendo presents America's Test Kitchen: Let's Get Cooking for the DS. The "game" teaches you how to make real food and, bizarrely, was developed by Indies Zero, the same folks that brought us Retro Game Challenge.

It contains 300 recipes provided by America's Test Kitchen, which you may have seen on public television. The game supports voice controls and multiple profiles, allowing different members of the family (or dorm, commune, etc.) to take on different tasks required by each recipe. It also includes age settings, just in case you're not quite ready for little Timmy to handle the meat cleaver. And, for the cooking impaired, America's Test Kitchen even includes handy tutorial videos to explain the more difficult bits.

America's Test Kitchen hits shelves March 28 for $19.99.
