The Cooking Mama franchise is perhaps unfairly dismissed by some, but it has an impressive sales track record and a loyal fanbase — the publisher states there have been over 13 million copies sold worldwide. It surged to popularity during the DS "Touch Generation" days, and it can be strangely fun to make muffins with some flicks of the stylus before being told how wonderful they are; these games can be the equivalent of a pat on the head.
Cooking Mama 5: Bon Appetit has now arrived in North America at retail — there's also an eShop demo — and publisher Majesco has gone for a high-profile approach to marketing the game, employing the services of Rosanna Pansino on YouTube; her channel has over 2.5 million subscribers. A recipe from the series is made in real life, before we have a double act with the series mascot; it's oddly entertaining, much like the franchise itself.
The conventional launch trailer is below for your viewing pleasure. Are you a fan of this series and tempted to pick it up, or will you try the demo first? Give us a shout and let us know.

I want to pick this up at some point but too many games for the next two months to factor this in just yet
There's something about that engrish accent that's so charming. I want to play this so bad
I have the first Cooking Mama, Its enjoyful. I played the demo & it seem ok.
But we still dont have the answer to the age old question... What end of the cornett do you start eating from?
That is painful to watch xD
Aww I haven't played this since the first one. May pick up this new one at some point.
This is so adorable... the screencap is adorable. I didn't watch the video .
That first video...
Why is there a couple of dinosaurs having sex?
@kereke12 It really is a fun little series to get into. I've played all except for 4(though I'll probably pick it up at some point since you can get it pretty cheap online). Heck, I might pick this one up while I'm at it.
@Interneto I was going to ask where you saw that, because I had watched the vid and missed it, but now I see them(they're just sitting in the background). XD
Wait people still buy this game?
I think I say that every time a new Cooking Mama game comes out.
@gutrippabear I can't stop laughing at 1min2sec...
Oh, I'm subscribed to her! Coolio, I may have to try it out now.
@Shirma_Akayaku Ro is always adorable like this yo Love Nerdy Nummies! (And Steven Universe!)
Isn't she the one who showcased the Google+ comments?
Damn, the resemblance is uncanny!
I found Rosanna Pansino through the Nintendo Video app. She has some pretty cool utube vids. As for Cooking Mama, not something I'd play. Awesome for Rosanna though.
I... need it...
Wow, I didn't realize Julia Child had an illegitimate... erm, child. She kind of scares me.
shes hot
Cooking Mama confirmed for Smash Bros.
Ah, she's cute. She does give me vibes of someone who regularly works with children or Special Ed kids. Maybe I'm just a big kid because I smiled big when 'Mama' came in at the end.
I really want to try to that Cornette recipe.
We gonna run this town tonight.
