In short, this is all a bit of a mess, and a contingent of fans across social media are becoming vocal about how very unusual this situation has become.

Can you tell I’ve been looking into this for too long? Don’t even get me started on the apparent PS4 version of the game, which is listed for sale across the internet, but hasn’t been outwardly mentioned by any official source around ‘launch’.Ĭooking Mama: Cookstar is, in essence, Schrödinger's Video Game, seemingly existing and non-existing simultaneously, with neither state particularly easy to prove. In Europe, the game is seemingly impossible to get a hold of right now, and is listed by several retailers for a release later this month - but none of them seem to agree about when. Amazon only lists third-party sellers (at least one of which seems to have been set up solely to sell this new Cooking Mama game, strangely), implying the retail giant has no copies at all. According to some very pleased/confused Redditors, copies have quietly appeared in select US outlets of Target. Physical copies of Cookstar are a different story. Even stranger, the game was released on the US eShop last week, but only for a few hours, before being unceremoniously pulled from sale and its listing scrubbed from Nintendo’s digital store entirely.

A brand-new Cooking Mama experience created for Nintendo Switch™. If you can’t stand the heat, get into Mama’s kitchen! #CookingMama is back with her most fantastic and fun video game adventure ever!Introducing Cooking Mama: Cookstar. That statement is, at best, partially true.

A trailer on the game’s (extremel y quiet) Twitter feed definitively announces that it’s 'available now' on Nintendo Switch. The core of this mystery lies in the fact that, depending on where you look, Cooking Mama: Cookstar is either out now, coming soon, or completely MIA. What in the freshly-baked hell is going on with Cooking Mama: Cookstar?
