Cooking Mama

Cooking Papa.

Like Cooking Mama.

Now, I don't know if that'll quite get across that it's a warehouse logistics skating

game.

We were like, hey, this will be funny.

And then we were just like, now where do we put them? And I think the gun military truck is a more effective instrument of death than Cooking Mama.

So I have to give it points for that.

Leah, thoughts on this?

Yeah, I mean, Cooking Mama is pretty terrifying sometimes.

She can be when she gets mad.

She's pissed.

... where Mario can dunk on a black mage.

Uh, [laughs] the original Cooking Mama-

[laughs]

... which was huge.

Um-

Selling empty Cooking Mama shells.

[laughs] That was a separate one.

That-

Well, no.

But yeah, I find the time management, like Cooking Mama, Overcooked, that kind of stuff.

That One Piece game that's coming out that I know Kevin's going to be all over.

Those games stress me out a little bit.

You can only find out on the Wii.

Up next is Cooking Mama, another minigame heavy game.

Cooking Mama is so kind.

Have you played Babysitting Mama?

I haven't.

I've only played the Cooking Mama main cinematic universe.

I haven't diverted into the subgenres or her side gigs, essentially.

I would recommend looking at her side hustles because there's a babysitting one where you're given like a baby doll and you put the Wiimote in the back of the baby.

Um, and wow, better than Mama.

It's gotta be Cooking Mama.

Yeah.

She's, she's my all-timer.

So I think it just doesn't quite lend its way properly to make a full game out of it, but...

September 12th I've got Cooking Mama on the Nintendo DS 20 years ago in 2006 remember Cooking Mama was like a huge thing just because people were using the styluses basically Fruit Ninja mixed with Overcooked I remember, which is really cool.

Rule of Rose, and the only reason I want to mention that is Rule of Rose is a PS2 game that came out 20 years ago today.

Don't know what it looks like, don't know what it plays out, but it's one of them really expensive PS2 games that is rare, and it goes for a couple hundred quid.

Right.

Um, and then over the weekend, um, 20 years of cooking mama, at least in the West, which I put on this list just cause I was like, I just remember in that era, um, it being inescapable, like people who worked in game, you know, mates who worked in game.

That was one of the games that they would sell hundreds and hundreds of copies of week after week after week, like just a sleeper monster.

Um, And
