cookingmama.jpg Cooking Mama is my favorite non-hetero DS game, and I love it. So, considering the game is somewhat of a success among others, the good people of Majesco have decided to make a Wii version that is set to come out some time in the near future -- early next year.
Making special use of the Wii Remote, Cooking Mama: Cook Off is an entertaining blend of mashing, slicing, chopping and stirring as players create more than 300 real-world recipes from 10 different nations. New realistic graphics and real-time cooking effects lend authenticity to player creations and help budding chefs determine when food is overcooked. Best of all, Cooking Mama: Cook Off offers 2-player kitchen competitions to determine who can cook the best meal the fastest.
No word on if this game will feature online play, but I'm just gonna guess that's a big no since most 3rd-party online support seems to be gimped at the moment for the Wii. Full press release after the jump.
