Ubisoft just announced its first game to take advantage of the DSi's camera feature, and it's, uh, My Healthy Cooking Coach (or simply My Cooking Coach in the UK). The game will work on both DS and DSi, but DSi owners will have access to ten extra recipes for some reason (mostly just to make DSi owners feel special, probably), and will be able to use pictures taken with the DSi camera in their own chef profiles. The press release mentions DS and DSi versions, so we've contacted Ubisoft to clarify, in case there are separate cartridges for each system [Update: it's just one DSi-enhanced cartridge].
My Cooking Coach contains 240 healthy recipes, along with "tips and tricks to create healthy and delicious meals that will delight friends and family." My Cooking Coach will arrive in June.
I'm not sure this game has it, but in Personal Trainer: Cooking actually tells you the steps. If you need to go on to the next step you say continue or more details. It is just a fun little thing to have and I've made some great recipes using it. Of course it isn't for everyone, but I enjoyed it. :)

i really don't why people would want to get this when they watch cooking shows and look online.

yes, because Rachael Ray is a realistic representation of how the average person cooks a meal

Personally I wouldn't buy this; I prefer to, y'know, play games on my handheld gaming system.

I guess you're not their target market on this one then, better luck next game!

What the hell? Unless there's a real reason, this is *not* the way to add DSi-exclusive content to a game.

I thought the entire point of DSi-enhanced carts was to allow extra features that make use of the DSi's exclusive features.
Way to fail.
