From the latest issue of Famitsu comes Cooking Mama, a stylus-based game that lets players experience cooking. The game, published by Taito will allow a player to prepare a number of real world dishes, using the pen for "cutting vegetables, mixing ingredients in a fry pan and even preparing the final layout for your meal." Players will also be able to make their own recipes.I applaud the publisher's efforts, but I thought the whole point in cooking was to eat the meal afterwords. Digital food tastes like plastic!
Also, Taito will be releasing a new puzzle game called Monster Bomber that allows you shoot out colored balls at colored enemies that approach the bottom screen from the top screen. The object of the game is to kill all enemies by shooting them with the like-colored balls. It will also support wireless gameplay.
Both games will be released in Japan on March, 23. No word as of yet on a US release.

I concur. Iron Chef DS, with ingrained region coding so you Japanese players can compete against US players for the championchip.

My girlfriend's been wanting a cooking game for a while. I can't wait until this comes out. If this isn't "the" cooking simulation game, it may spark another company (like Atlus or so) to really make an Iron Chef DS, wifi enabled, "create new recipes on the fly" kind of stuff.
