505 Games has announced the launch of an official European destination website for all things Mama, from Cooking Mama to Gardening Mama and beyond. Under the newly launched domain, users can read about all the Cooking Mama games, watch trailers, find out the latest news on new releases and order games from retail partners.
Cooking Mama: Cookstar is a charming passion project from a dev team that clearly cares about the franchise.
Last week, a new Cooking Mama game was released for Nintendo Switch. The only problem is that it got un-released shortly afterwards.
Yeah some big name in the homebrew scene looked at it and it was having high resource usage and some network traffic indicating it most likely does have a miner in it.
As sh***y as that is, I also find that amazing.
"so guys, we're gonna port Cooking Mama to the Switch, but at the same time, we're gonna build in a crypto miner for 'reasons'.
Some dude in the back" uh, what?"
" your services are no longer required. you're excused "
I saw something about that and assumed it was an April Fool's joke, but... no.
From what I've read we don't yet have absolute proof this is what's happened, but the accusations are there and we're yet to see what the investigation will bring up. What a weird world we live in if it turns out to be true.
"There's a new Cooking Mama game coming and as well as a vegetarian mode, it's also bringing with it... blockchain technology?
We've tried to break down what that actually means and whether it's just meaningless jargon"
