Majesco Entertainment Serves Up a Tasty Treat as 'Cooking Mama: Cook Off' Ships for the Wii Console

Satisfying the appetite of fans everywhere, Majesco Entertainment Company, today announced that Cooking Mama: Cook Off for the Wii(TM) console has shipped to retailers nationwide. Developed by Office Create and licensed from Taito, Cooking Mama: Cook Off is a follow-up to the successful Nintendo DS(TM) game that launched in 2006.

"We are very excited to bring a unique game like Cooking Mama: Cook Off to market," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing. "Using the Wii Remote as a universal kitchen tool is both intuitive and fun. Combine that functionality with the multiplayer cook off feature and the result is competitive entertainment for the entire family."

Cooking Mama: Cook Off is a compelling blend of mashing, slicing, chopping and stirring as players create 55 international recipes from 300 different ingredients using the Wii Remote as a master kitchen utensil. A multiplayer mode lets budding chefs cook off in competitive mini-games to determine who can cook the fastest with the fewest mistakes. In addition, real-time effects lend authenticity to creations and help players determine when food is cooked to perfection.

Cooking Mama: Cook Off is rated E for Everyone and now available for a suggested retail price of $49.99.
