At a glance it may look like Mama is doing more of the same in Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop, but Majesco promises that the latest installment in the popular series offers more than just rinse and repeat. In addition to 80 new recipes, two new modes called "Let's Shop" and "Combine and Create" will allow you to actually shop at the grocery for items and make your own concoctions (can't promise they will be any good, though).
Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop will be out this November and will retail for $29.99. Looks cute as usual, but I'm not sure the new features will attract me to buy it just yet. Do you consider this series more geared at kids, or do you really get into your time in Mama's virtual kitchen?

Cooking Moma isn't really my thing...maybe if I were a girl. But, I prefer manly things like Katamari, LittleBigPlanet, and grunting.
(though I do remember some burnt fingers... but that was the price to pay for "easybake melted chocolate bars"! :)
I failed miserably at Gardening Mama, and I have shied from the series since.
@phantomile: The first Cooking Mama(on DS), undoubtedly the best version(mostly because i never played any of the followups XD) but the reason why it became a series is because it actually taught you how to cook real-world dishes, and for someone who maybe isn't completely cullinarily versed in he ways of edible alchemy, this game proves more than a fun diversion. And with this generation of parents wanting to keep their children sanitarily safe, so they wont get boo-boo's, cooking mama is even more popular.
Finally, this:
@bluemeep: I'm man enough to admit that Mama has taught me a few things about the Cookery.
(me too!)
