EDISON, N.J., October 27, 2008 – Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, today announced that Cooking Mama World Kitchen for Wii™ has gone gold and will be available on November 18. Developed by Cooking Mama Limited, the sequel to the celebrated Wii original features hilarious kitchen mini-games, all-new 3D graphics, more than 50 recipes and co-operative cooking play.

Cooking Mama World Kitchen lets players use the Wii Remote™ as a universal cooking utensil to chop, grate, slice and stir their way to culinary greatness. Players can complete 51 new recipes including French fries, parfait, Ratatouille and pancakes. In this latest installment of the beloved franchise, Mama and friends also benefit from a graphic upgrade to full 3D. Players can cook for Mama’s approval in Cook with Mama mode; prepare meals for any of eight international friends to taste in Let’s Cook mode; and team up with a friend to create meals together in the co-operative Cooking Contest mode. A fourth bonus mode is even unlockable once players complete all 51 recipes!

With Wii Music, those who do not find the game appealing will not be convinced otherwise at this point. Generally speaking, it seems as though most hardcore gamers will be staying away from the title. Shigeru Miyamoto, however, believes that there are some core gamers out there who will be attracted to what Wii Music brings to the table. “I think you’ll find people who are as hardcore playing Wii Music as any other game. I have found that, as a single player, you can spend over three hours arranging a single song. Since there’s 50 songs, simple math tells you that you can spend 150 hours playing it – and that’s just by yourself.”

That was quick, wasn’t it? Even though the latest Wii update borked the Homebrew Channel for those who have yet to install it, the homebrew community has been working hard to create a way to add the channel even with the new firmware. Previously, a method was provided as a quick alternative to those who already downloaded the Wii system update by installing the new IOS51 and Wii Shop Channel without other patches. However, now it is possible to avoid all of that work with a new beta version of the Homebrew Channel. Not only can the channel be added to the Wii for those with the new firmware (through a new beta version), but SDHC is now supported with beta 9.
