Mama's Cooking at sushi bars

Is "cooking" really the right name for a sushi game?

LOL my G/F loves cooking mama this is an awesome idea now if only womens clothes shops had consoles to use/ play whilst your Girfiriend was trying on clothes that would be great ... it doesn't help that nearly all changing rooms are near the lingere section ... so your hanging round there like some dirty old man waiting!!!

That sounds like a pretty neat idea! A good way to waste time if you were waiting for food or something. Someone mentioned earlier that the Yo!Sushi resturants are a bit more on the pricey side, so perhaps the DSs won't get as damaged as some might think since its on a higher scale then say, McDonalds.

Great idea, that would get me to eat at a sushi bar.

cool

Poland Street?! wtf?! why does the UK have a street named after poland? and yes i'm polish. I agree with everyone else, the DSes would get ruined too fast. If its not yours then chances are you won't take proper care of it, just look at any public spot/ place >___> But the idea in theory is pretty cool :D

if i were there...oooo a ds on the counter, yoink!

I think this is a great idea, but I am not sure I will get to try this very much as Yo! Sushi can be a little expensive.

Those DSs will get pretty dirty pretty fast.

lew_0911: Now that was funny. :)

Wow. What's next, Trauma Center on a clinic?

i don't about over there, but here in the US that idea would last about a week and would a complete disaster. curua02 is right--they'd be stolen immediately, and/or be completely wrecked in no time.

Can we keep them, lol?

Lol thats funny. But it won't stay for long.

Ewww... DS covered in sushi! I love my sushi, but I wouldn't want to touch those things after some grubby handed person has it.

Only in the UK would something this cool happen. If this happened here in the states it would either A- Get Stolen.....or B-All scratched up. After eating tho...wouldnt the last thing ud want to do is make more food? Put contra up in that ds for dessert :) lol

I don't know too much about Japanese society, but if they tried this in the States, those DS's would be stolen within a day.

If the DS's are on a conveyor belt, they couldn't possibly be tethered down. I don't know too much about UK society, but if they tried this in the States, those machines would be stolen within a day.

Ha, funny stuff. The customers will see how hard it is to run a restaurant.

Those DS' they are going provide for customers to play wont be hygienic for sure. Have you seen the McDonalds in Oxford Street which let their customers play on their PS2s? Those controllers are full of grease and filth. Individually, fast food or gaming is one's joy. But together, in public? Doesn't work I'm afraid.

Lovely! Bits of rice smudged over the touch screen, greasy units, a stylus somehow making its way into the food :P

haha thats awesome :)

UK restaurant chain Yo! Sushi is going to be letting gamers play with virtual Japanese food while they eat the real thing.

The eateries will have Nintendo DS portables loaded with 505 Games' Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends placed around the sushi-delivering conveyor belts for the amusement of diners.

The Yo! Sushi branches in London's Farringdon Road and Poland Street will be the first to get the game on April 14, and the rest of the restaurants will be getting theirs "over the coming months." Sushi lovers will be able to play solo, or against other diners by challenging them to a cook-off.

The Cooking Mama franchise is a series of quirky Japanese games where players prepare a variety of dishes by doing things like stirring broth, peeling vegetables, and dicing meat using the DS stylus.

The first game, Cooking Mama, proved to be a surprise hit in the West, with over a million units sold as of December in Europe alone. There is also a Wii version, Cooking Mama: Cook Off.

Cooking Mama 2: Dinner With Friends for the DS was released in Europe on February 15 and featured new recipes, minigames, and a multiplayer mode.
