New series for Wii and DS, courtesy of Activision. I know, sounds like a Majesco title, doesn't it? Well, it's the same idea...but with science mini-games.
Even more hilarious then the name is the response from Cooking Mama herself:
QuoteSo you want some dirt on "Science Papa" to splash on your site? I'll shovel it. We dated briefly (when he had much better hair). And now he clearly wants a piece of the best-selling pie by associating himself with an incredibly successful, and I'll emphasize, happily married, woman. Frankly, he never appreciated my cooking and I grew weary of his tedious "experiments." You want real mind-bending science, go figure out how to make Toulouse Cassoulet for your next dinner party of 20 and let me know how it goes, Papa.
Any thoughts on Science Papa? Mama seems mad.
I guess it's a good way to get your game know, ripping-off the title of a series.
Association. If the game is poop, Cooking Mama could fail to sell by association. If it rules, Activision makes cash. Win-win.
