Source-derived summary

Shaberu! DS Oryōri Navi (しゃべる!DSお料理ナビ, Shaberu! Dīesu Oryōri Nabi; officially translated as Talking! DS Cooking Navigation) is a 2006 cooking simulation video game developed by indieszero and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo DS. It was released only in Japan.

Brief information

The software contains numerous Japanese recipes with step by step instructions, and the user can use the Nintendo DS's microphone for voice-recognition commands like turning pages. All the instructions are read out loud, while some instructions are video recordings showing how to do some tasks like chopping. It is possible to choose recipes based on a number of calories, the ingredients the user has and so forth. The simulator also keeps in memory what dishes the player has already made. It also features a timer. As a bonus, the Game & Watch game, Chef, can also be played in this DS title.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2006 video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 16, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q15116722. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2006.

Critical limits

The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
