Mama has skills: Taito trademarks Pet Shop Mama
Oh Mama, is there nothing you can't turn your versatile hand to? With Mama cooking games now out on DS and Wii, and a gardening game due out this winter on the handheld, Japanese publisher Taito isn't done milking the money-printing franchise.
Last week, the company trademarked Pet Shop Mama, which seems self-explanatory. There's no hint of what platform this will release on, or even if it will end up being a real game (our bet: it will), but Mama's past cosy relationship with the DS makes it an obvious favorite. Our minds boggle at the potential minigames for this: will we be balancing hats on cats? Brushing dog teeth? Fending off fuming PETA campaigners armed with disturbing parody games?

I'm honestly surprised it's not actually Cleaning Mama.

the cooking mama apron is awesome, whoever made it really has a lot of talent.

I know. I laughed so hard, I just love see mama get mad. I can see her almost turning a super saiyan.

Its likely Pet Shop Monogatari DS from Taito. It came out July 8, 2008 in Japan.
