This year’s top Wii download for the Wii has been released, and it is now called Cooking Mama: The New Classic. This game has all the old school cooking games of the past, but it adds new elements to the mix like cooking competition and a mini virtual farm to do your cooking in. If you loved the older games, you’ll love this new take on the theme.
Cooking Mama: Cookstar is an enhanced version of the popular cooking game from Nintendo. This time around, you get to cook with a virtual kitchen instead of just relying on the usual grill and stove. You can actually use the oven and blower as well, so the cooking game takes on a whole new feel. You can also build your own virtual farm with crops, animals, and decorative items to add to your virtual kitchen.
In this year’s release, there are three different courses to try. The first one requires you to build a trailer to grill the pork shoulder, chicken, and vegetable dish. The second course is quite simple, as all you have to do is peel and cut tomatoes, add the necessary sauce, then insert the turkey into the grill. The final course challenges your creativity and requires that you use the fryer to prepare the French fries, as well as the stove to make the baked sweet potato and caramel sauce.
The online community provided by the game’s developer, Fishdom, was a pleasant surprise. There were hundreds of positive comments, and I even got to meet some of the people who created the Wii homebrew application. The Wii forums were loaded with topics from gamers looking for help or asking about the new cooking game. And because this is the fifth year for the game, there was plenty of history discussed. There were discussions on why the game was discontinued, why the online downloads weren’t going well and more. It’s always nice to hear from old fans and chat with current ones as well.
While the online downloads weren’t exactly mind blowing, they were certainly impressive. You can now download about 50 different songs, as well as many of the ones that were not included in the year’s release. Downloading the music wasn’t too difficult either. All you have to do is go to the Wii download manager, find the right file you want to download, input your account information, and you’re done. The downloads are a very solid component of the Nintendo Switch, and it’s no wonder that they continue to be so popular.
If you haven’t played the excellent Wii cooking games Wii Sports Resort and Cooking Mama for Nintendo Switch, you should really check them out. They are perfect for any sports-minded individuals who also enjoys playing video games. With the Switch, you can bring all of your gaming expertise to the kitchen, making cooking games much more fun than ever.
