505 Games has revealed today that Cooking Mama 2 is in the works for the Wii and DS and will definitely be coming to Europe.

The new titles will feature new recipes, new minigames, and a new multiplayer mode. Whether it will make up for the original’s shortcomings remains to be seen though – namely, whether measuring an exact amount of rice over and over to make a slightly different recipe can be changed so that’s it actually entertaining.

Nintendo’s Japanese division has unveiled an interesting new trinket for the DS – a Slide Sensor that clips onto the bottom of the handheld.

Alongside the announcement is a game that comes bundled with and fully utilises the sensor – Slide Adventure: Mag Kid. It follows the adventure of a robot who has to fix itself up using its enemies nuts and bolts, also going through a number of minigames as it does so.

It will retail for 5,400 Yen, which converts to about £24. There currently doesn’t seem to be any plans for a release outside of Japan, though, and it’s not unheard of to not see all Nintendo peripherals make their way into all three major territories – see the GBA’s e-Card Reader for an example.
