Nintendo Brings Cooking Navi to Europe in 2008

Nintendo has finally revealed that it will be bringing its DS cooking navigator to Europe this year. Following speculation that Shaberu! DS Ryouri Navi would be heading to Europe in 2007, the game has appeared on German ratings website USK and is confirmed by reliable sources as heading here in the 2nd Quarter of 2008 under the name 'Kochkurs: Was wollen wir heute kochen?', which translates into English as 'Cooking Course: What do we want to cook today?'

The cooking navigator takes you through numerous recipes with a voice-over giving tips on how to cook food in the best way and what sort of ingredients you will need, or what can be substituted in the absence of certain items. As each section concludes, speaking at your DS will change the page, either going back, repeating that page or moving on.

Be sure to check out the (Japanese) interactive tour of the game here.

With this, Math's Training, English Training and Practise English, as well as Wii Chess, it seems Europe is being treated to quite a fair few games that the US is missing out. Considering Wii Fit is likely to take Europe by storm when released next Friday, Cooking Course could be a massive hit as Nintendo draws in the non-gaming crowd even more than last year...
