E3 2008: Cooking Navi Comes to the United States

via IGN


Taking the stage during Nintendo's Media Briefing at the Hollywood Kodak Theater this morning, Nintendo exec Cammy Dunaway (a.k.a. "The Camminator") was quick to praise the continued success and universal appeal of the Nintendo DS. Cammy took the time to talk about some of the system's many potential uses beyond playing video games, specifically referencing its functionality in helping users find their way in crowded airports and check up on the action of live baseball events while hanging out at Mariners games.

To continue the trend, then, Cammy announced an upcoming American localization for Shaberu! DS Oryōri Navi, commonly called Cooking Navi in Japan. The game (which isn't really a game at all) features an interactive cookbook and helps you in the kitchen as you prepare your meals. The title was first released in Japan two years ago, and just recently arrived in Europe and Australia under the name "Cooking Guide: Can't Decide What to Eat?".

The American date is currently set for November 2008. Get your spatulas ready.
