Personal Trainer: Cooking for Nintendo DS Released
Just in time for Thanksgiving, Nintendo has released Personal Trainer: Cooking for Nintendo DS. The program contains more than 240 dishes from dozens of countries around the world. The DS Chef, an electronic cooking instructor, walks users through each step to make sure every dish comes out perfect and delicious. They’d better or that slop will hit the wall.
Personal Trainer: Cooking includes videos of various cooking techniques, such as how to properly julienne vegetables. The touch screen interface helps users check ingredients on an electronic shopping list they can take to the grocery store. It also lets them search recipes based on ingredients, number of calories or cooking time. When a user’s hands are too covered in the business of cooking to use the touch screen, the voice-recognition feature comes in handy: Just tell the DS Chef to move on to the next step or repeat the last one.
While this product won’t appeal to gamers it will be embraced by casual consumers who need little help in the kitchen or need a sort of food organizer they can refer to. Look for Personal Trainer: Cooking for Nintendo DS in stores this week.
