Sabreena and Shaun have been playing Cooking Mama for a few years on the Wii and when I heard that Cooking Mama 4 : Kitchen Magic was coming to the Nintendo 3Ds I got myself on the list to review this game. Not only is Cooking Mama a great game it is now in 3D, how cool is that?
I can remember watching Shaun and Sabreena compete at Cooking Mama for Wii all of the time and now that Sabreena is older she has passed down the Cooking Mama torch to Shae who also loves Cooking Mama. Shaun is the one with the 3DS but anytime Shaun is doing something else Shae is asking if can she play Cooking Mama 4. I am sure she is trying to perfect her cooking skills so she can whip (no pun intended) Shaun at his own game. Overall the game play appears to be pretty straight forward and offers endless hours of entertainment.
There are so many features in Cooking Mama 4 : Kitchen Magic I am going to list them here below:
- Use the stylus as your ultimate cooking utensil to chop, slice, stir, knead, roll, toss and more in more than 200 unique mini games.
- Use the 3DS gyroscope to cook in brand new ways: crack eggs, balance plates of food, flip meals in a pan, grate cheese and more.

I know the holidays are over but if your kids are like mine they have giftcards that are burning a hole in their pocket so why not take them out to pick up Cooking Mama 4 : Kitchen Magic. This game is available at most major retailers and retails for approximately $29.99 but remember this is for the Nintendo 3DS only.
