Majesco is back with yet another casual title for the Wii, this time round in the form of Cake Mania: In The Mix! This title is already ready for shipping to retail outlets in the US, and it has its roots based on Sandlot Games’ award-winning PC franchise that has seen over 100 million downloads worldwide. If it sounds familiar to you on another platform, that’s because it has also seen action on the Nintendo DS as well, moving well over 500,000 units. In this outing, Cake Mania: In The Mix! introduces all-new characters, motion-based cake customization and a unique co-op mode that allows up to four players to join in the baking madness at once.

Building upon the success of the hectic, time-management style gameplay of the original Cake Mania and the branching storyline of Cake Mania 2, Cake Mania: In the Mix! lets players use the Wii Remote to manage all aspects of Jill Evans’ bakery business. Players will serve a myriad of all-new demanding customers-including ninjas, pregnant moms and leprechauns-and can then use cumulative bakery earnings to purchase more than 50 unique kitchen upgrades to expand their business. In the Mix! also features nine brand new locations, an Endless Baking mode and 4-player cooperative play. Players can even design custom cakes and then send Digital Greeting Cards of their cake creations to friends online via WiiConnect24!

Judging by the title alone, you can tell this casual game targets just about anybody, which means it is spot on to receive an E for Everyone rating. You can pick it up for the shovelware price of $29.99.
