Scheduled for release early next year, Cooking Mama: Cook Off is a follow up to the award-winning Nintendo DS predecessor that is being showcased in approximately 10,000 retail demo kiosks nationwide in November.
"Since its introduction last month, Cooking Mama for the Nintendo DS has won people over with its fun, addictive gameplay and innovative use of the Touch Screen," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing. "Cooking Mama: Cook Off for the Wii console similarly integrates the unique Wii Remote while layering on new features--including multiplayer and a full range of international cuisine--that fans are hungry for."
