Cooking Mama 4: Kitchen Magic trailer. This video seems like a good time to step back and take stock of how weird shit is. “Mama” cooks stuff, and is interviewed by reporters because of it. I guess that’s not weird if you think of the game as like a cooking show.

That game is about cooking food, as have the previous three Cooking Mama games. Now we’re getting a little stranger. That’s the kind of activity you’d play a game instead of doing. This one adds new bonus features in which you… clean your kitchen and put stuff away. And yet it’s probably going to be fun.

And at the end, when a reporter asks Mama what’s next, she simply says “time’s up!” and winks. Keep in mind that what is next is probably some banal household task. “Surprise! I’m going to wash the car!”

I love that our world has room for Cooking Mama games. So weird.
