Mama is multi-tasking. Speculation has been confirmed as game maker Majesco announced Dec. 2 that it will expand the popular Cooking Mama franchise to include a new game: Gardening Mama for Nintendo DS, scheduled for release in spring 2009.

The simulation game will allow players, as “Mama,” to grow and nurture their own garden, from flowers to fruits and veggies. Jesse Sutton, chief executive officer of Majesco, stated in a press release that Mama’s “first brand offshoot captures those features that made the Cooking Mama series a best seller–an innovative concept, full Touch Screen control, approachable gameplay for everyone and, of course, a charismatic mentor who pushes you in her own endearing way to give a gold medal performance every time.”

The stylus is key in the game, and besides the cultivation component, players will be able to follow through on their harvest, such as by turning strawberries into jam. Also, Mama’s outfits can be changed and her garden decorated. The game will be WiFi enabled for multi-player use.
