The DS Lite Press Conference saw a few unseen titles being shown off for the first time, and Nintendo's new cooking sim was one of them!
Along with the new Calligraphy Training which was also announced at the DS Lite press conference today, yet another Touch Generation title was unveiled - the tentatively titled Nabi Cooking DS.
Speech recognition will be one of the methods of control in the game, with the gamer saying phrases to turn the pages of the in-game cook book to select a recipe. Supplies must be stockpiled in the fridge, and more groceries shopped for to enable you to make the tastiest recipes.
After all ingredients are gathered, the game switches to a simultation of the cooking process itself, where the gamer must decide on the exact ingredients and amounts, and virtually prepare the dish using the touch screen (chopping vegetables, stirring mixtures etc.)
It's likely we'll hear more about this title next at E3, but if we manage to find any other details beforehand, R-E will be sure to let you know!
