Majesco’s first trailer for Cooking Mama 3: Shop & Chop features one aspect of the Cooking Mama series we don’t expect to see in the actual DS game: the voice acting, which is as endearing as ever.
The trailer features the first look at the game’s new shopping mode, which appears as a top-down RPG-style presentation. It also features flashes of the familiar cooking gameplay, including the return of the most ridiculous recipe from Mamas past — instant ramen. Really?
For the most part, it looks like Cooking Mama, which we’ve yet to become tired of, so we don’t mind. And now with the addition of food with faces, we don’t think we will ever get tired of it.

Today, Majesco released new screens and the box art for Cooking Mama 3, revealing the subtitle Shop & Chop. Unfortunately for us, that subtitle, meant to reflect the new grocery shopping element in the minigame sequel, sounds kind of like “Slap Chop,” and now we’ve got the “Rap Chop” remix stuck in our heads. We’re going to be in a great mood all day, apparently!
The “Let’s Shop” game, in which players dodge distractions to pick up ingredients at a grocery store, leads to the other new mode, “Combine and Create,” which somehow allows players to invent their own recipes based on ingredients used in existing in-game recipes. It’s an iterative upgrade, sure, but here’s a secret: Cooking Mama continues to be fun even when it’s just new recipes.

Majesco announced gloated yesterday about its earnings for the second quarter of 2009 (ending April 30, 2009). The company reported net revenues increased 60.8% to $20.5 million over the $12.8 million earned in the same period last year. Majesco attributes the massive increase of revenue to strong software sales for Jillian Michaels’ Fitness Ultimatum 2009, Cooking Mama titles and Gardening Mama, which hit retailers in March.
Last quarter, Majesco’s revenues kicked up 75% with its good fortunes also attributed to the same games with Jillian Michaels’ Ultimatum selling more than half a million copies. It’s then not surprising that Majesco is expanding the brand, bringing out Ultimatum 2010 for Wii and Jillian Michaels Pocket Trainer 2010 on DS next year.
