Why has Cooking Mama: Cookstar been tough to find in stores and why was it removed from the eShop after going live for only a brief time? 1st Playable, the game’s developer, seems to believe it’s due to a legal battle. As for Planet Entertainment – the apparent publisher – it’s another story entirely.
Over on Twitter, Planet Entertainment mentioned that “the whole world is upside down with delays right now” when addressing why Cooking Mama: Cookstar is currently unavailable on Twitter – likely referencing the current situation with the coronavirus. The full statement reads:

The situation surrounding Cooking Mama: Cookstar just keeps getting stranger. After rumors circulated that the game was mining cryptocurrency – which was swiftly denied by the developer – a member of the team has come forward to further clarify what is actually happening.
The crux of the situation apparently involves a legal battle between publisher Planet Entertainment and IP holder Office Create. This has what resulted in the game’s removal from the eShop and scarcity in stores. Additionally, it looks like Planet Entertainment launched Cooking Mama: Cookstar “against a request by Office Create to keep polishing the game, or perhaps even canceling it.”

Posted on 4 years ago by Bryce(@brodee922) in News, Switch | 0 comments
Animal Crossing: New Horizons has just dropped a new update, version 1.1.4. This update brings a few bug fixes (available in the source below) but more importantly, it tweaks the egg appearance rates in the Easter event currently happening in-game.
The patch specifically mentions making it easier to find eggs on the day of Easter, April 12. This may not be what most players want to hear, but the patch notes also say that egg appearance rates have been tweaked leading up to Easter day (through April 11). Hopefully these tweaks are more of what players want to see.
The patch also briefly notes that the version may be 1.1.4 or 1.1.4a depending on region.
