Analyst: Cooking Mama 2 a ‘big win’ for Majesco, more casual games to come soon

Majesco Entertainment has already hit it big with Cooking Mama for the Nintendo DS, but Nollenberger Capital Partners analyst Tom Greenwald thinks that this is just the start of something big. Greenwald also stated that Majesco securing Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends is a “big win” for the company.

“Cooking Mama 2 was likely a competitive bid, and it is impressive that Majesco secured it as it was probably going up against much larger players,” said Greenwald. “It shows the value of the strong relationships Majesco has with numerous Japanese developers and publishers like Office Create and Taito.”

Greenwald also suggested that the Cooking Mama games are just the tip of the iceberg. “We believe there is a wealth of casual game content that is not being fully exploited on all platforms, which represents an opportunity for Majesco on the DS and Wii over the next 12-18 months,” said Greenwald.

Greenwald noted further that Majesco may also be in negotiations with Sandlot Games for the DS rights to Cake Mania 2.
