Cooking Mama: Cookstar (Nintendo Switch)

Product Information

IP rights holder Office Create later stated that Planet Entertainment was not authorized to release Cooking Mama games on the platform.

According to Office Create's account, Planet Entertainment released Cookstar back in 2020 for the Switch without Office Create's approval — a decision for which Office Create revoked its license to Cooking Mama. It's fun unlocking more recipies and it feels like it has more things to do than other Cooking Mama games to me. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.While we don't know how or why any of those individual instances happened, a rogue developer releasing something without permission and a license holder trying its best to walk it back might explain at least some of it — and that's certainly what Office Create has claimed. Cooking Mama: cookstar features over 80 fun and fantastic new recipes for players to master including over 50 recipes new to the cooking Mama franchise. I really enjoy this game, the motion controls are a lot more streamlined and better than wakuwaku sweets (although I still enjoy that game). It's a bit confusing how we got here in the first place, but here's the summary: Cooking Mama: Cookstar is licensed by Office Create, the company that owns the Cooking Mama franchise.

What we do know is this: Cooking Mama: Cookstar was a weird game with a lot of unanswered questions about its creation and ownership. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. In November 2022, Office Create announced that they had won their legal battle against Planet, and that the game would be removed from sale. In it, Planet admitted there were "creative differences" involved in Cookstar's creation, but insisted that “Planet is fully within its rights to publish Cooking Mama Cookstar” and that “There is no active litigation or ruling that prevents Planet from publishing the game.

The otherwise sweet and wholesome Cooking Mama has been in some hot water over the last year as a legal dispute threw 2020's Cooking Mama: Cookstar into contention. Meanwhile, a new Cooking Mama game wholly made by Office Create just dropped on apple Arcade in July, entitled Cooking Mama: Cuisine!I was so excited but my god it’s horrible, it looks like a wii game and it tries to play like one using the switch’s mediocre motion controls. Travis Northup of IGN gave the game 3 out of 10, praising the detailed recipes featured in the game, but criticizing the monotonous gameplay, poor motion controls, "nightmarish" voice acting, and lack of meaningful progression. The game was eventually re-released by the publisher Ravenscourt in March 2021, who also published it in Europe and Australia in 2020.

Office Create stated it has started taking legal action against Planet as Office Create had terminated their license to use Cooking Mama on March 30, 2020, after which Planet had started selling the game. She praised the game's variety and amount of content, as well as the "nuance" to mastering the mechanics.

For the first time ever cooking Mama will feature both a traditional cooking mode and a vegetarian cooking mode.
