Gardening Mama Now on Nintendo DS

Do you love Cooking Mama?  I adore it and now Mama has taken her talents out to the garden!  It’s a great concept because she has already taught you how to cook and now she can teach you how to grow the food you plan to eat!

The game is also very current since, with such an emphasis on the public to go green (and not to mention the struggling economy), many people are trying to create gardens in their own yards – even First Lady Michelle Obama has gotten in on the action.

Gardening Mama has been released on the Nintendo DS.  The “Let’s Get Growing” is the main game mode where players get the opportunity to grow flowers, fruits and vegetables.  As you develop your “green thumb” more plants and flowers will be unlocked.  Just like in the Cooking Mama games, players will have to complete a series of mini games in order for their garden to grow and their performance will be evaluated and they will receive either a bronze, silver or gold medal based on their score (out of 100).

You can also compete against friends and family with the wireless multiplayer option.  You will not only battle it out in mini games but you can also share your fruits and vegetables through the “Cute Treasure Chest” function.

The Gardening Mana website is also a lot of fun.  Check out videos, grab desktop images/AIM icons, join Mama’s Club or learn about ways that you can go green!  In the meantime, here’s the trailer:
