Cooking Mama all out of ingredients?
One of the journals over at Ars Technica recently documented some trials and tribulations in attempting to find the recently-released Cooking Mama for the DS. With a desire to prepare virtual meals, Ben Kuchera stormed many of his local brick-and-mortar retail outlets to no avail. In leaving the physical world and entering one filled with electronic webs, Ben wasn't able to procure virtual satisfaction either as all the sites he checked stated the game was on backorder. So what say you fine reader? Have you had any difficulty in snagging this at retail? Or perhaps you are the pre-ordering type? [Thanks Nushio!]
Cooking Mama is sizzlin' hot
Personally, we can't cook. Not to save our lives. Give us some packages of Ramen Noodles and we are set. Sad but true story. Fortunately for those who are kitchen retarded, like I am, Cooking Mama is going to give us the run down on how to make some rather interesting, and sometimes disgusting, dishes. GameSpot has the full preview and details with a nice video to show you how Cooking Mama works. Somehow neapolitan spaghetti doesn't sound that great tonight... Bon Appetit!
Cooking Mama joins Majesco's E3 roster
Do cooking games have any place in the North American market? Majesco seems to think so. The publisher is taking a gamble on Office Create's Cooking Mama, a mini-game-based niche title, previously available in Japan only - yes, we suppose some Japanophiles did go the import route. But will gaijin dig a perfectly batter-dipped and deep fried tray of shrimp tempura? They best swap in some of Colonel Sanders' finest birds to move units on these shores.
