Cooking Mama Cook Off: How to cook with your Wii remote

By Spencer . December 4, 2006 . 8:22am

In the DS version of Cooking Mama players used the stylus to draw lines to cut mean and to drag dumplings into the hot pot. Cooking Mama: Minna to Issho ni Oryouri Taikai for the Nintendo Wii has similar mechanics, except that the Wii remote becomes the knife or the a rolling pin.

To cut a piece of meat you slide the remote horizontally, similar to how you would use a knife. Intuitive and simple, just like the DS control scheme.

Controlling the stove is a little more complicated. You can flip the frying pan by shaking the remote. This needs to be done to make sure whatever is in the pan doesn’t burn. You can also control the temperature of the stove by tilting the remote left or right.

The stove’s controls are unrealistic, but Cooking Mama has its fair share of realism. See more pictures of the control set up past the break.

I didn't know this was going to come out for the Wii. The other day, my coworker was lamenting on how Trauma Center was too much stress and how they should make a cooking game on the Wii.

This is good but not quite as interactive as the XBox 360 cooking experience:

I Thought This For The DS Version And I'm Thinking It Again: How About Just Going Into The Kitchen?

I'm super excited about this game. I was pleasently surprised with Cooking Mama on the DS, and I think it'll be ten times better on the Wii. Forget going into the kitchen, this way I can avoid grease pops. ;-)
