Nintendo of Japan adds a little spice to the DS mix.

In a possible attempt to expand on the good if limited ideas presented by Cooking Mama -yet to be released in the UK, Nintendo are releasing "DS Kondate Zenshu" which we are told means "DS Complete Menu".

The game, or perhaps utility would be better, is to contain a large listing of over 100 recipes for use in every household kitchen. Details are unclear at present, but an excellent addition would of course be themed dishes, such as Mario Mushrooms or Big Boo Burgers.

According to sources, the game is also to come bundled with an attachment to fix the DS to your refridgerator, no doubt to avoid all of those worrying cooker-top spills messing up the DS screen. My money is on 4Gamers and Game to capitalise on this by releasing a specific range of "DS Cooking Wipes" designed expressly for the purpose of cleaning the DS. Which will no doubt be just the same as regular cooker wipes -just twice the price for half as much.
