While it was confirmed that this was not the case and the more likely reason for the eShop disappearance was due to the game containing music files ripped straight off YouTube, it was an absolute PR disaster and the owners of the Cooking Mama IP are not pleased. The game vanished off the Nintendo eShop while physical copies wafted around in some brick-and-mortar stores, while allegations started to spread that the game’s disappearance was due to it illicitly mining cryptocurrencies through blockchain technology which was causing player’s Switches to overheat. Regardless, food photography is an undeniable part of the social media era, and it's not all that surprising to see it reflected in a video game.What an unexpected turn of events that I doubt anyone saw coming, right? Last week we wrote up an article explaining the whole controversy around Cooking Mama: Cookstar, the latest entry into the beloved cooking simulator that was just…well, a Gordon Ramsay Kitchen Nightmare to say the least. It's not unusual to hear complaints about restaurant goers taking photos of their food, when they should be enjoying the atmosphere and their company, instead. This could easily give the game some extra longevity! The developer certainly sees the new option as a draw for players: the game's titular character appears in the game's box art, holding a phone. With so many entries released over the last two decades, it only makes sense that developer Cooking Mama Limited would try to find a new angle for the series, and food photography could add a very interesting angle, particularly if the game allows for sharing images on social media (though Switch does already does have a share option). Cookstar is the ninth entry in the Cooking Mama franchise, not including the many spin-offs featuring similar gameplay concepts.
