Shaberu! DS Oryōri Navi(JP) (officially translated as "Talking! DS Cooking Navigation") is a 2006 cooking simulation video game developed by indieszero and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. It was released only in Japan.
Brief information[]
The software contains numerous Japanese recipes with step by step instructions, and the user can use the Nintendo DS's microphone for voice-recognition commands like turning pages. All the instructions are read out loud, while some instructions are video recordings showing how to do some tasks like chopping. It is possible to choose recipes based on a number of calories, the ingredients the user has and so forth. The simulator also keeps in memory what dishes the player has already made. It also features a timer. As a bonus, the Game & Watch game, Chef, can also be played in this DS title.
Reception[]
Shaberu! DS Oryōri Navi received an Excellence Prize for Entertainment at the 2006 Japan Media Arts Festival.[1]
