About this product

Product Information

“Cooking Mama” can take all the fun of kitchen experiments and offer them with less mess, less fuss, and no clean up. Culinary enthusiasts can hone their skills in this cute, unique video game available on the Nintendo DS. This interactive cooking series of mini games lets you take on the role of chef in training. The player must create and prepare one of over 70 included recipes to create the ideal dish before the time runs out. Acting under the tutelage of the “Cooking Mama” herself, you must beat the clock and carefully handle each ingredient to make the perfect meal. “Cooking Mama” was published around the globe by Majesco, 505 Games, and Taito, and it was released for the Nintendo DS in 2006. This single player game lets players take part in different cooking challenges and offers three different gameplay modes. “Let's Cook” is a mode where the player puts together different meals. More recipes are unlocked as you successfully complete each dish. You can even change meal requirements on the fly if you have already previously mastered them. This unlocks a new recipe for a new play-through. The second mode is called “Let's Combine.” This is a series of games where the player takes an unlocked recipe and mixes it with another. New food concoctions emerge from your culinary experiments, letting you recreate some treasured and ubiquitous meals from around the world. Lastly, the “Use Skill” mode of games has players ranked by their successful completion of various kitchen tasks. Peeling, stewing, tearing, and much more are all carefully tallied and kept track of, which can guarantee you'll be a master in no time. Each mode in “Cooking Mama” requires you to chop, slice, knead, grate, and do tons more to your ingredients, which must all be handled carefully if you're to beat the individual mini games. This award winning Nintendo game also lets you share different recipes with your friends, taking from 76 real world meals from menus around the globe. You can even send a friend a shared game, so you can swap tasks back and forth between missions. Players can chop ingredients, knead dough, peel vegetables, and do a host of other functions in the game with the touch of a finger. A practice mode helps players to decide what to cook and how to prepare it, which is useful for chefs who want to do a trial run. There are over 200 mini games available in “Cooking Mama,” all of which are designed to put your skills to the test in lifelike situations. Cooking fans and people of all ages can easily take to this brilliant game, which uses the Nintendo DS stylus and microphone to creative lengths. The stylus acts as a knife, peeler, spoon, and other culinary tools, depending on how you need it. The microphone in the DS lets you gently blow on your dishes to cool them down, creating culinary perfection. For those of you with a Nintendo 2DS, DSi, 3DS, or a DS XL, you can still enjoy all the fun content provided in “Cooking Mama” with backward compatibility.

Warioware by way of Rachael Ray
Food-themed titles are pretty much a rarity in the western gaming world; there are some RPG's that have some cooking components to them (Tales of Phantasia comes to mind, for example) and, if you're a retro gamer, you've surely played Food Fight and Root Beer Tapper. In Japanese gaming, such titles are a lot more common, some titles that I can remember off the top of my head: Ore no Ryori, Nabe Kazoku (both PSone), Burger Burger Pocket (GBC), Curry House CoCo Ichibanya (PS2). This shouldn't come as too much of a surprise if you've visited Japan because Japanese tend to be near food-obsessed - watch the classic '85 film Tampopo for reference. At first glance, it's fairly obvious that Taito (this title's publisher in Japan) really went out of their way to create a quality title: graphics ...

This shouldn't come as too much of a surprise if you've visited Japan because Japanese tend to be near food-obsessed - watch the classic '85 film Tampopo for reference. At first glance, it's fairly obvious that Taito (this title's publisher in Japan) really went out of their way to create a quality title: graphics are very cute with lots of color, the dixieland-ish music somehow matches the game, and the game really makes use of the touch screen and microphone. In fact, I would venture to guess that this game makes the most use of these features; the touch screen is used for tons of actions: cooking, pressing, kneading, turning, mixing, to name just a few. The mic is used solely for blowing to cool food when boiling on your stove. In essence, Cooking Mama is a bunch of simple minigames disguised as phases of cooking a dish: cutting, mincing, boiling, etc.; the ultimate goal of which is to produce a set-recipe dish. Think Warioware and Feel The Magic/Rub Rabbits and you have a fairly good idea of what makes this game tick. However, unlike these games, Cooking Mama has no central story. That's right, there's no real motivation to cook all these dishes except to unlock other recipes of which there are quite a few, some 50+. There are a few game modes available such as a practice mode, mini-game challenge mode, and a recipe combining mode that yields odd combinations like potato salad over rice, but they are all centered around the same throw-a-bunch-of-minigames-together frame. For those of you who happen to purchase the import version of the game, there is a fair amount of Japanese in the game but it's all in kana so it's easy to read (or look up, if that's what you do). A small amount of trial and error might be necessary to figure out which actions are required at certain times but the game is friendly enough to hold your hand when it's most necessary. For Japanophiles, there's not really much to ooh and ah at, except for the cooking theme, but (though not guaranteed for the US version of the game) one thing of note is the types of dishes that are used in the game. Lots of dishes that are true to real Japanese home cooking: wonton, croquette, spaghetti napolitan, curry, tonkatsu and all portrayed and "cooked" as uniquely as Japanese themselves do. Overall, Cooking Mama is a fun diversion but probably not a game that will be played for extended periods of time. I hate to harp on the point again that a story mode would have really helped the game because, just like how spices are used in real cooking, it would have made an OK dish even better.

Cute Cooking Game for Kids or Passing Time
Cooking Mama can be described as a cute, interactive cooking game for Nintendo DS. All controls in the game are done with the Stylus pen: chopping vegetables, boiling water for pasta, stirring soups and adjusting the heat (you actually blow into the DS microphone to cool soup down!), breaking eggs, spreading sauce, kneading dough, folding dumplings, and my personal favorite - flipping and pan-frying food! If you love cooking, or want to learn more about it, this game could be a good starting point. It actually features some pretty healthy and diverse meals, perhaps with a stronger asian influence than other world regions. Meals don't take long to make, so you can cook a quick meal while waiting in line, and easily save/quit the game when you want to. Each time you cook a meal you get ...

Each time you cook a meal you get new meals to make, so there is no shortage of foods to make. The game may lose some of its luster and value after repeated playings, but it is still a great game for kids, or to pass the time. Highly interactive, very cute and creative, and best of all, you learn about cooking without running the risk of losing a finger!

Cooking Mama (Nintendo DS)
This game is a light hearted, slightly educational and silly way to pass the time. I don't know if I'd call the game addicting but it definitely has some decent quality playtime value to how it was designed even for us adults who are supposed to be to old for this type of thing. The more you successfully play game then the more recipes you can potentially unlock. There is a pretty decent variety in the types of things you can cook up and there is a different playing technique in the game for how each of those different items get made. From my point of view even just being able to show people this kind of game is sort of cool. I mean at least its worth a few laughs when I show it off to most of my non video game playing friends.This game is a light hearted, slightly educational and silly way to pass the time.

A Very Good Game
This review is from my 10 year old daughter. When I received it for my birthday, I was so excited that I immediately charged up my Nintendo and started playing it. My first impression was that it was very "Asian". Kinda like Japanese Anime. My sister had a DS too, so on the box it said that you can send recipes that you get to another person on their DS. But I have no idea how to, and the instructions were not clear. Besides that the game is very fun, and make sure if you want to do the recipes again, you have to clear it off the memory, or you will not get anymore recipes.This review is from my 10 year old daughter.
