Majesco has announced that its Cooking Mama franchise has surpassed sales of 1.6 million units in the US.
The original game appeared on the DS in 2006 and itself sold over 1 million copies. It was followed by a Wii edition - Cooking Mama: Cook Off - and a DS sequel in 2007.
"The success of Cooking Mama has been akin to catching lightning in a bottle," said Majesco CEO Jesse Sutton.
"A unique concept, iconic main character and gameplay execution that fully utilizes the stylus and Wii Remote have proved to be a winning combination.
"We appreciate the continued support from all of Mama's fans and look forward to launching the fourth title in the franchise later this year," he said, referring to the upcoming sequel to the Wii game.
