It seems like Majesco Entertainment's sleeper hit won't stop with just a sequel. Cooking Mama is on a hot streak, and she's going to mobile phones. Publisher Taito Corporation just announced that "the popular fast-action cooking simulator" is ready to serve.

The game was originally released for the Nintendo DS, and was was praised for its innovative design and use of the handheld's functions. With this new Cooking Mama iteration coming to mobile phones, we're quite interested in finding out how this version will turn out. Co-producer Keiji Fujita is confident that Cooking Mama will do well on its new platform, saying "the style of gameplay is accessible and fun for casual and serious gamers of all ages."

Cooking Mama for mobiles should hit the U.S. in early 2008 via major mobile carriers. Pricing will be dependent on the individual carriers. We don't know why price should prevent anyone from grabbing this sizzling title; it's almost criminal not to have it.
