Crafting Mama sees Cooking Mama turn her hand to crafts and scrapbooking on DS

If you’re into crafting and would like a little visualization of your hobby, you’re in luck. Mama is best known for her cooking, but it seems she’s bringing her other hobby, crafting to the DS later this year. You’ll be able to do over 40 craft projects in Crafting Mama including making patchwork quilts, earrings, candles, xylophones, kaleidoscopes, birdhouses, flower decorations and even mini-Mama dolls!. According to Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco Entertainment “Crafting is a natural extension of our most successful franchise. Much like last spring’s Gardening Mama, Crafting Mama combines the award-winning Mama formula of addictive stylus-based activities with a popular pastime that has been underserved in videogames. We’re looking forward to sharing Mama’s newest hobby with her vast and diverse group of fans this holiday season.”

Full presser below:
The extent of Mama’s talents are limitless! She can hold her own in the kitchen and garden next to the world’s best, but now Mama is poised to dominate arts & crafts too as Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, announces Crafting Mama exclusively for Nintendo DS™. Developed by Cooking Mama Limited, this all-new crafting game lets players create their own unique crafts across a wide range of different projects.

In Crafting Mama, players will create 40 different projects across a wide range of different crafts: make patchwork quilts, earrings, candles, xylophones, kaleidoscopes, birdhouses, flower decorations and even mini-Mama dolls! Using the stylus as a universal crafting tool, crafters will sew, mold, glue, cut and paint under Mama’s masterful direction. Best of all, players can use each of their creations within the game itself: dress Mama up in a new apron you’ve sewn or even fly a freshly folded paper airplane. In addition, new materials, colors and patterns are available to customize each project, and multiplayer support lets players create with a friend. Crafting Mama is guaranteed to turn Mama fans into crafty creators in no time!

Crafting Mama for Nintendo DS™ is expected to release this fall.

   This sounds ACE! I wonder if it will teach you how to make the items in “real” life too. I would love to make a wee Mama doll! ^_^

   Okay, I know I probably shouldn’t be excited about this but I am!
   I think it looks really cool and although it’s clearly a stereotypical female game, it’s still fun to play some of these.
   I loved Cooking Mama and if it has the same feel then I think this will be a good un!
