"Mama's genuine appeal coupled with a truly unique and fun game concept made the original Cooking Mama a best seller that garnered several industry accolades," said Ken Gold, vice president of Marketing. "In Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends, we're building on that success with all new recipes, a new tasting mode and multiplayer wireless play that will entice fans to keep on cookin'."

In Cooking Mama 2: Dinner with Friends, players use the stylus as the ultimate kitchen utensil in 150 different cooking mini-games across 80 new recipes that range from cultural delicacies like shark fin soup to the all-American apple pie. However, this time around players actually have hungry mouths to feed since nine finicky dinner friends will be tasting and judging each meal! A new Challenge Mode lets up to four friends compete in a wireless cook off with only one game card, while players can customize their kitchen--and even Mama!--in the fresh Decoration Mode.
