All though the DS Lite’s instruction manual expressly forbids you from putting the DS Lite in the microwave, Nintendo is now releasing a title that proves that the DS can actually be used in some cooking scenarios without blowing the two-screened device up. “?????DS????? / Talking DS Cooking Navi” is a new DS title that is to be released on the same day as the Royal Pink DS Lite. The game is basically a talking recipe database of about 200 different types of Japanese home-style cooking, and can be controlled with your voice so that you don’t have to touch the thing when your hands are covered in oil and/or flour. Even though the game is being released at the same time as the Pink DS, given the advertisement the game seems targeted towards men that don’t really know how to cook, as Chances are a master chef wouldn’t need the kind of culinary hand-holding that DS Cooking Navi offers. Even if I can’t get a pink DS Lite on launch day, I am definitely picking up this title. Does anyone else think the chef icon is just Mario in disguise?

This is so cute… I want it so bad, but my Japanese is very limited. I forgot a lot of it since I have been living in theStates: Though I understood when the people were asking for a more detailed information on the TVCM. It's so adorable. Do you think they'll do other cuisine? I would like to participate in the French cuisine one. I am from there, and I cook a lot. Anyway. On your comment about this software being designed toward males, I am not so sure if you are right. The TVCM show a variety of people using it. From a father of a healthy family, to the single mom trying something new with her daughter, passing by two girlfriends, this software seems actually well designed. I really would like to see this in American or Europe.
Sad for those who dont know how to cook anything.But good for me because i get to learn how to cook japenesse food.
And whatever happened to Cooking Mama??
