MAMA COOKS UP A RECIPE FOR SUCCESS!
Massive sales achievement for the Cooking Mama World series of videogames in Europe, Middle East, Africa and Australia
505 Games, a global publisher of video games, today announced that the Cooking Mama World series of videogames has notched up an impressive number of unit sales across the globe.
505 Games announces today a major landmark in the Cooking Mama franchise: the sale of its 2 millionth unit in the UK, where the original Cooking Mama game for Nintendo’s DS platform still enjoys the prestige of being the number one selling third-party Nintendo DS game. Internationally, the Cooking Mama World franchise has now sold over 3.5 million units across Europe and 12 million units worldwide.
Launched on Nintendo DS in 2006, the first Cooking Mama title thrilled players with its unique and vibrant art style, tons of fun mini-game cooking challenges and educational gameplay. It also introduced the world to the now iconic character – Mama herself. Since then, Cooking Mama World titles have continued to be a success on Nintendo DS and Nintendo Wii consoles, and have seen Mama branch out into such activities as gardening (Gardening Mama), crafting (Cooking Mama World: Hobbies & Fun) and babysitting (Babysitting Mama). The latter Wii title broke new ground for video game releases by coming bundled with an individually hand-stitched, life-size plush baby doll peripheral.
The November 25th launch of Cooking Mama 4 on Nintendo 3DS and Cooking Mama World: Outdoor Adventures on Nintendo DS, sees the series’ ninth and tenth iterations. Cooking Mama 4 introduces all-new features that utilize the exciting new features of the Nintendo 3DS hardware, including 3D rewards for players after completing challenges and four-player wireless competitive gameplay. Cooking Mama World: Outdoor Adventures sees Mama and her family step out of the kitchen and into the wild outdoors, in an island adventure that sees players catching bugs, collecting fish and participating a wide variety of outdoor pursuits.
“Cooking Mama World is now well-established as an internationally recognized brand. The phenomenal success of the franchise across European and Export territories proves what can happen when you have an instantly adorably character, simple yet challenging gameplay and a tightly focused brand marketing strategy,” said Ralph Pitt-Stanley, General Manager UK & Export, 505 Games. “We’re excited to be launching two fresh Cooking Mama titles this November, offering fans more innovations, more game modes and more fun.”
To mark the launch of Cooking Mama 4 on Nintendo 3DS, 505 Games has commissioned a specially animated trailer detailing many of the new activities players will experience in the game.
