Almost a year after the trademark was filed, Majesco has officially announced Crafting Mama for the Nintendo DS. Everybody's favorite housewife returns, fresh from her stint as a cook and a gardener and ready to take on the world of arts n' crafts. Jesus Christ. 

Crafting Mama will force players to create all sorts of useless objects to satisfy the increasingly bizarre demands of Mama. Candles, kaleidoscopes, quilts, birdhouses and dolls are all part of the fun, and anybody with too much time on their hands is sure to be entertained. 

Majesco plans to release Crafting Mama in fall 2010. None of you can wait.

EDISON, N.J., March 11 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The extent of Mama's talents are limitless! She can hold her own in the kitchen and garden next to the world's best, but now Mama is poised to dominate arts & crafts too as Majesco Entertainment Company (Nasdaq: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, announces Crafting Mama exclusively for Nintendo DS?. Developed by Cooking Mama Limited, this all-new crafting game lets players create their own unique crafts across a wide range of different projects.  

"Crafting is a natural extension of our most successful franchise," said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco Entertainment. "Much like last spring's Gardening Mama, Crafting Mama combines the award-winning Mama formula of addictive stylus-based activities with a popular pastime that has been underserved in videogames. We're looking forward to sharing Mama's newest hobby with her vast and diverse group of fans this holiday season."

In Crafting Mama, players will create 40 different projects across a wide range of different crafts: make patchwork quilts, earrings, candles, xylophones, kaleidoscopes, birdhouses, flower decorations and even mini-Mama dolls! Using the stylus as a universal crafting tool, crafters will sew, mold, glue, cut and paint under Mama's masterful direction. Best of all, players can use each of their creations within the game itself: dress Mama up in a new apron you've sewn or even fly a freshly folded paper airplane.  In addition, new materials, colors and patterns are available to customize each project, and multiplayer support lets players create with a friend. Crafting Mama is guaranteed to turn Mama fans into crafty creators in no time!  

Crafting Mama for Nintendo DS? is expected to release this fall.  For additional information about Majesco's exciting line of products, please visit www.majescoentertainment.com.
