The recently announced cooking game will feature over 200 recipes and 10 extra ones for DSi users.

Just a day after the DSi was released in the United States, Ubisoft announced My Healthy Cooking Coach, the first third party game to make use of the DSi's new features.

Similar to Nintendo's Personal Trainer: Cooking, this game will feature more than 200 recipes, with 10 of them exclusively available on the DSi version. In addition to the exclusive recipes, players can also use the DSi Camera to take pictures of themselves and personalize their profile. The game will come in one DSi-enhanced cartridge.

Ubisoft also mentioned that there are more DSi-exclusive games on the horizon.

My Healthy Cooking Coach is slated for a June 2009 release.

UBISOFT® SUPPORTS THE NINTENDO DSi™ WITH MY HEALTHY COOKING COACH

SAN FRANCISCO – April 6, 2009 – Today Ubisoft announced My Healthy Cooking Coach for the new Nintendo DSi and the Nintendo DS system. Already a worldwide leader on Nintendo DS, Ubisoft is one of the first independent publishers to develop a game that takes advantage of the new functionality of the Nintendo DSi. My Healthy Cooking Coach is an easy-to-use, fun game for anybody who wants to eat well-balanced and healthy meals. My Healthy Cooking Coach is available in June 2009.

With more than 200 recipes created by a culinary school and in collaboration with a renowned nutritionist, My Healthy Cooking Coach offers players tips and tricks to create healthy and delicious meals that will delight friends and family.

Thanks to the new functionality of the Nintendo DSi, My Healthy Cooking Coach offers enhanced content and gameplay experiences. Ten recipes will be exclusively available on the DSi version, and budding chefs can use the system's camera to personalize users' profiles.

In addition to My Healthy Cooking Coach, Ubisoft will soon launch several other new games specifically created for the Nintendo DSi.

I wish I could have gotten it right the first time, but now I have a better idea on how to do news articles :p .

You're doing fine Pap and welcome to the team!

I understand DSi function with your own picture for profile, but locking up some recipes doesn't seem justified.

Those had better be some kick-ass recipes to justify getting the DSi for them.  I really don't get the point, though.  It's not like there's any sort of hardware limitation that would prevent recipes from being shown, and once they're found out they're likely to end up on the internet anyway.

It's probably the Gameboy Color type of things like how Legend of Zelda Link's Awakening DX had a special color dungeon if you played it on a GBC.

The extra dungeon in Link's Awakening actually used colour as a part of its obstacles. How do the extra recipes need the DSi?

Unless these recipes somehow use the DSi's new features, this seems like a shameless ploy by Ubisoft... except that it really doesn't benefit them in any way.  That really makes me worry that Nintendo may be encouraging developers to do this sort of thing as a way to promote the new hardware.

Cannibal recipes, you take a picture of the person you want to serve up and it calculates what must be done to prepare them.
