The DS invades the kitchen: Oishinbo DS Recipe Shuu
Just in case you haven’t quite had enough of Cooking Mama and similar “edutainment” games for the Nintendo DS, then Namco Bandai‘s Oishinbo DS Recipe Shuu may prove to be a good addition to that wishlist of yours. This DS game was released in Japan March 8, 2007 and sells for 3,990 yen (about US$ 34), so you may want to check with your favorite importer to see if they have this in stock.
Oishonbo history. Oishinbo DS Recipe Shuu is based on the manga series “Oishinbo” which originally appeared in the weekly manga magazine Big Comic Spirits in the mid-80s and was penned by Tetsu Kariya and illustrated by Akira Hanasaki. “Oishonbo” also spawned a 55-episode anime series of the same title which ran from 1988 to 1992.
Because of this history, the DS spin-off of the series has the potential to be popular among those who grew up reading the manga or watching the anime version.
Oishonbo DS – a cookbook on the go. This DS title isn’t merely a game per se. Besides having a food-related quiz game in it, this title mainly functions as a cookbook on the go. It has a stock of recipes which can be searched by either keywords or handwriting input, and it also has a library of browsable images.
On top of that, there are also manga-style tutorials of cooking techniques, which is a feature that would most likely come in handy if you’re a newbie cook.
Oishonbo manga content. The best part, though, is that the title contains the Oishinbo manga itself, and also contains links to the recipes which are discussed or featured in the manga’s storyline.
So, if you want to learn how to cook, or if you’re a parent who wants to teach your kids the ways of the kitchen in an interesting manner, or if you just simply want to have a cookbook handy wherever you go, then this is the way to do it.
