Taito announced that action puzzle title Super Puzzle Bobble and cooking action game Cooking Mama will be available today at the launch of Nokia’s mobile phone software sales channel by Ovi.

Taito has been working with Nokia in connection with mobile phone content distribution programs since the earliest channels launched in 2002, and the launch date release of Super Puzzle Bobble and Cooking Mama by way of Ovi is the latest example of TAITO’s long-standing support.

Popular since its initial arcade release in 1994, home console editions of the Puzzle Bobble series have shipped more than a million units worldwide. While the game’s mechanics are simple—link three or more identical bubbles to clear them from the screen—a great degree of skill and strategy (banking shots off walls, erasing several bubbles at once, etc.) is required to gain a truly high score. It is this depth that is the secret of Puzzle Bobble’s enduring appeal. Super Puzzle Bobble for Ovi includes both a 50-level Round Mode and the potentially endless, random-bubble generating Challenge Mode, allowing players to choose their play style according to their preferences.

Hit cooking action game Cooking Mama allows players to chop, fry, boil and otherwise enjoy the fun of food preparation through a variety of mini-games. Featuring realistic sound effects and ingredients that change in appearance as they are prepared, Cooking Mama provides a satisfying culinary experience. The game includes a Main Meals mode, where players complete a series of linked mini-games in an effort to complete a full dish, and a “Training mode” that allows players to practice individual mini-games. Cooking Mama boasts 5 main recipes composed and 19 different mini-games.
