On Hideki Konno's business card, it says "Producer, Entertainment Analysis and Development." That's significant because it's the position that once appeared on the business card of Shigeru Miyamoto.
Hideki Konno is, therefore, a man to watch out for. As a producer at Nintendo's EAD -- the Kyoto studio responsible for Super Mario and Zelda -- Konno is the man responsible for games like Nintendogs and Mario Kart DS.

Konno: We have this game with a big wok that you use to cook Chinese food, and it's really interesting to have the meat and vegetables frying in there, and use the controller to flip the food around without it spilling out of the pan.
don't have time to actually read it but there is also stuff on Nintendogs & Mario Kart. Just follow the link

Personally, I think it could be a great idea. Maybe some sort of frentic cooking race, ala Iron Chef, or perhaps a game where you simply have to juggle a number of tasks like cooking various dishes, pulling food up to the counter for the waiters, and whatnot. Also keep in mind that this games would be made by a Japanese studio, so I'd expect it to have some sort of slightly bizarre or surreal aspect to it as well...

-- me, 30 seconds ago... see how this game could actually benefit people like me?
seriously, i just want to juggle the sausage like Game and Watch Gallery 2 (Chef, was it?)
btw, someone on here confirm for me that the junk game&watch tosses out of his pan in SSB:M is sausage... morons in my dorm think they're pancakes

Yeah, I'm too lazy to actually get in there and cook something so why should I cook virtually; where is the reward? I only cook when I'm hungry for the purpose of eating. If I were into cooking for fun I'd be in there frying ocra right now. Why should I spend an hour cooking vegitables I can't eat?
I'd rather play something with a story. Nintendo is encouraging third parties to take a big ole nasty mini game crap all over their console.

WTF? Do you know what a mini game is? It's a game INSIDE a game, is this cooking game being packed in with something else? If so, would that be bad? NO AND NO. Negativity BE GONE!

Really, you're just being narrow minded and kinda stupid. They're perfectly capable of experimenting and trying different games, including more experimental games like cooking and incorporating new controls into the standard, story driven games you apparently like.

It's not that long of an interview I recommend anyone who didn't read it take the couple minutes and do so.
