I loved the first cooking mama game for the DS and Wii, and I'm not ashamed to say it. There is something quite relaxing about a game that is this frenetic, just thanks to its focus on that most inane task of preparing food. Well now Cooking Mama 2 is on the way, due out at the beginning of 2008.




If you want to get a taste for it, you can see a collection of new screens over at Wiiz.fr (the site is in French). Here we hear the news that there are going to be some eighty new dishes on the menu for Cooking Mama to whip up with those innovative Ninty controls, including a seafood salad, escargots (yuck), paté and creme de glaces. Who could ask for more?

Furthermore, if you fancy a hardcore cook-off, fear not, as the game will pack in a nice 4 player mode using the Wi-Fi capabilities of the DS. My mouth it watering already.
