Gardening Mama arrives for Nintendo DS

December 3rd, 2008 by Edwin in Game Previews

Most people who are in possession of a Nintendo DS will definitely have had a go at Cooking Mama before (either the seminal title or its sequel, it doesn’t matter), and this time round Mama shows that she isn’t only adept at whipping up delicious dishes to feed the hungry, but also owns a couple of green thumbs as you come under her tutelage in your quest to grow a pretty garden all by yourself. This gardening simulation for the DS will see you deal with a cornucopia of fruits, flowers and vegetables right smack in Mama’s backyard (wonder if you can smell what she’s cooking then…)

Gardening Mama transforms the DS stylus into a universal gardening tool that players will use to plant, nurture and harvest flowers, fruits and vegetables. Gamers can manage their garden through the seeding, blooming and maturation phases, and then produce items from the plants they’ve grown (i.e. grow strawberries to make jam or raise pumpkins and then carve a jack-’o-lantern). A robust multiplayer mode lets up to four friends compete to grow the biggest harvest and Treasure Box mode lets players share items they’ve grown with online friends. Gamers can also decorate various gardens while creating goods like pergolas and hanging baskets. In addition, players can change Mama’s outfit to their liking while customizing the screen design to their preference.

Forget about slicing and dicing – it is a totally different ball game now. You’ll be knee deep in planting, pruning, picking and creating from now on! Gardening Mama for DS is tipped to roll out sometime next spring, and chances are it will be rated E - unless there are instances where you need to knock off a couple of pesky cats from your garden.
