If you enjoyed Cooking Mama, you will almost certainly like Happy Cooking, but the fact that they're just so similar probably makes it unnecessary to own both. The story mode is the one aspect that separates this game from the Mama series. If you're new to the cooking genre on DS and are wondering where to start, just keep in mind that Happy Cooking has a more involved story, while Cooking Mama focuses more on the variety of tasks. Other than that, you're going to get about the same out of both titles.
