Majesco has announced Cooking Mama 3 for Nintendo DS, scheduled to be released this winter. The latest iteration of the franchise, Cooking Mama 3 layers on new features while serving up the same addictive and easy-to-play format that has entertained 4 million people to date.

In Cooking Mama 3, players use the stylus as the ultimate cooking utensil to create 80 all new dishes including chili con carne, tulip chicken, mushroom quiche and more. For the first time players can shop for the necessary ingredients before they start cooking in 200 different mini-games that let them chop, grate, slice, and stir up phenomenal foods.

Cooking Mama 3 also lets aspiring chefs create their own dishes by combining ingredients together in delicious new ways. In addition, the game features multiplayer cooking challenges and five other gameplay modes. As recipes progress from simple to complex and from small to large dishes, players must do their best to meet Mama's expectations and impress their hungry friends.
