Ah whoops didn't notice that, it's unlisted with a low view count and I hadn't seen it shared here.
I genuinely loved Cooking Mama on Wii. It was great fun in multiplayer as you frantically chop carrots. I'm into this.
This trailer is from November 2019, unlisted, and the game still hasn't been officially announced, so I wouldn't take the March 2020 window as confirmed quite yet.
There's also apparently a PS4 version according to leaks back in August, which is strangely not mentioned in the trailer, so perhaps it was either cancelled or this is a Switch-specific trailer.

Amazon Germany also had both versions previously listed before taking them down back in August 2019.

Seems like it was published in november but only made public now?
Just the materials they're using for rendering. The wii ones looked pretty similar.
hmm, it looks like they are maybe not using unreal or a similar engine's materials correctly. too little roughness / too much metallic.
Those visuals look terrible. If Mario Party's 1 cooking game can look as good as it does a cooking game should be on par.
Yeah that sounds like a fun month. I'm looking forward to trying to series too as a break in between Island Life.
I wonder if the trailer was taken down because it's not representative of the final product. Maybe (hopefully) a lot of those assets were placeholder.
GameFly just posted a product listing for Cooking Mama: Cookstar:

Funny that this announcement didn't make much of a splash here. On Twitter the news was huge lol.

Okay so first both versions were added to GameStop yesterday, but today not only does the Switch one have the same box, but the PS4 listing above has been taken down. Not to mention that the PS4 page used the same description that very much references Switch in the first place.
At this point I think the PS4 version never existed and whoever first mentioned it may have had wires crossed. Hell the AUS rating mentioned 1st Playable Productions as a developer which makes no sense as not only do they strictly do mobile/edutainment stuff only now, but they're a western company vs. Office Create who've made very entry to date.
Also while this was from Planet themselves, what the hell was up with that blockchain technology? Maybe it was referencing the social media aspect of the game?

www.esrb.org
ESRB also mentions PS4. I don't get it.
Edit: Amazon Germany actually has a box of the PS4 version, but it's under Ravenscourt:
I have some theories:
- Planet is only actually publishing the Switch version (ESRB and some retailers say otherwise but it would explain their lack of public mention of it)
- Office Create is doing the Switch version, while 1st Playable is doing the PS4 port.
- The PS4 version is likely releasing later as some retailers show this in some form.
That's all I got.

Wait so is this game... out today? It's not on the eShop but I'm seeing it physically at Target for $30, GameStop and Walmart for $40... There are even reviews on GameStop's website for it. I definitely thought the March 31 date was a placeholder but I guess the game really is out today?
I can't make threads but this might warrant a new thread entirely, but I'll just post the link and a brief excerpt of the IGN article here in case this doesn't warrant an entirely new thread.

This was posted in the eshop thread. I don't know if it's true but it would explain why it got pulled.
