Wishlist addition! Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends

Nuuuu~~~!!!! As if I wasn't giddy enough when the first Cooking Mama game was released, they now have a second one coming up... and Mama brought her friends! Lolz. XD XD


According to the press release...

MAJESCO ANNOUNCES 'COOKING MAMA 2: DINNER WITH FRIENDS'
The Succulent Sequel to the Award-Winning Cooking Game for
the Nintendo DS(TM) is Almost Ready
New Version For the Wii(TM) Home Video Game System in the Oven Too

EDISON, N.J., August 14th, 2007 – Hot on the heels of her debut title's success, Mama is back in the kitchen as Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of digital entertainment products and content, today announced Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends for the Nintendo DS.(TM) With several new game modes and brand new recipes, Cooking Mama 2 has all the ingredients of an interactive smorgasbord and is expected to release in the Company's first quarter. Details for the new Wii(TM) home video game system version due out this spring will be announced at a later date.

"Mama's genuine appeal coupled with a truly unique and fun game concept made the original Cooking Mama a best seller that garnered several industry accolades," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing. "In Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends, we're building on that success with all new recipes, a new tasting mode and multiplayer wireless play that will entice fans to keep on cookin'."

In Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends, players use the stylus as the ultimate kitchen utensil in 150 different cooking mini-games across 80 new recipes that range from cultural delicacies like shark fin soup to the all-American apple pie. However, this time around players actually have hungry mouths to feed since nine finicky dinner friends will be tasting and judging each meal! A new Challenge Mode lets up to four friends compete in a wireless cook off with only one game card, while players can customize their kitchen—and even Mama!—in the fresh Decoration Mode.

Whee~~! When I first learned about this, the first thing thing that I told Ian was how it sounded much like that British TV show that we often catch on Discovery Travel and Living, called Come Dine With Me. The show also involves cooking for several ungrateful dinner guests who then have to score your dinner party at the end of the evening. Hehe... I'm imagining how much of a riot the new Cooking Mama game could possibly be if it were on the Wii, and you have actual cooks debating that the cooking time of the carrots in the game aren't realistic enough. XD
