It’s a time to wash your hands, don a clean apron and clip your hair back: now you’re ready for another culinary adventure with Mama, on Nintendo 3DS for the first time! In Cooking Mama 4, you can prepare over 100 new dishes with Mama, combine recipes, help Mama out around the house and even play with friends - all in stereoscopic 3D.

To cook with Mama, just select the recipe you’d like to make and touch, slide, rub, or drag with your stylus on the Touch Screen (and maybe blow into the microphone) as instructed - don’t worry if you manage to mess it up, Mama will sort you out. But if you want to perfect a dish, then you should try practising the techniques before you give them a shot for real - after all, practise makes perfect! If your creation turns out well, you might even discover a new recipe to make next time.

Some of the minigames in Cooking Mama 4 involve moving or tilting the Nintendo 3DS system, and there are some sneaky places in the game where you can carry out hidden actions by moving your console, or by moving the Circle Pad - make sure you experiment as you play to see what happens!

Every time you receive a bonus for your wonderful cooking you’ll earn a star - collect three to receive a present, like new clothes or accessories for Mama. In Mama’s Gallery you can dress the leading lady in a new outfit, accessorise her look, or customise your kitchen and 3D Screen to your own personal taste.

You can also combine recipes: choose the two you’d like to mingle, then you can play a minigame where you mix the two food formulas together and concoct some (hopefully) wonderful new dish from the two sets of instructions. You only get one go at making the dish, but you never know what might result!

When you’re good to Mama, Mama’s good to you - so if you do a good job at cooking dishes, you’ll unlock fun new tasks you can do along with Mama to help her out around the house. Try to set records for each entertaining little errand, and you could earn extra time, too.

If you fancy a break from just spending time with Mama, you can enjoy minigames together with up to three friends with Nintendo 3DS Download Play. There are also fun things to do with friends that you can unlock by completing recipes on your own, so get cookin’!

• Cook over 100 recipes with Mama on Nintendo 3DS
• Unlock new recipes and minigames to play alone or with your buddies
• Up to 4 players can connect via Nintendo 3DS Download Play, just one Game Card required!

Mario Serves Up Portable Tennis Fun in 3D

In Mario Tennis Open, Mario and his Mushroom Kingdom friends return to the court for a flurry of intense tennis action, from engaging singles and doubles matches to skill-building Special Games and online play. Using the built-in wireless features of the Nintendo 3DS system, up to four people can play together in local* or online** multiplayer modes and exchange player information via StreetPass. Players can choose between intuitive Touch Screen and gyro sensor controls or strategic button-based gameplay that delivers an even deeper experience. Players can also choose from a variety of playable characters or use their own personalized Mii character as they serve, volley and smash their way up the leaderboards.

• As many as four players can connect online with their friends for singles or doubles matches. Additionally, Open Match mode can automatically pair players of comparable skill levels. Nintendo 3DS owners who are near each other can also face off via a local wireless connection, even if only one player has a Mario Tennis Open game card.
• Strategy is key as players execute lobs and drop shots or unleash powerful topspin to outlast their opponents in intense rallies. When Chance Areas appear on the court during a match, players can run to them to execute a supercharged Chance Shot. Intuitive Touch Screen controls allow players to easily and skillfully perform different swings. Players can also choose to use the motion controls of the Nintendo 3DS system to precisely shoot to the left or the right in order to ace their opponents.
• Using the Nintendo 3DS system’s StreetPass feature, Mario Tennis Open players can exchange and show off their customized Mii characters and incorporate them into Special Games or competitive singles matches.
