Cooking Mama: Cookstar is a new game in the cooking series that started on the Nintendo DS back in 2006. It will be the eleventh Cooking Mama game, and the announcement frames it as a reboot. The last game in the series was Cooking Mama: Sweet Shop for the 3DS.

　　Cooking Mama: Cookstar is due to arrive this fall on Nintendo Switch, and will be the first console game to integrate blockchain technology.

　　Although this was actually announced back in February, it went under the radar until now, when a listing on the Australian Classification website alerted folks to the game's existence. The game, originally called Cooking Mama: Coming Home to Mama, seemingly went through a name change at some point.

　　"Each purchased copy of the game will have unique IDs which will be managed directly through the game’s internal wallet storage," the announcement read. "Players will be able to focus on Cooking Mama’s user experience rather than cryptographic key management."

　　This will be used to make every copy of the game "subtly different and personal to a user", allowing the game to "change expression algorithms for characters, ingredients and cooking methods."

　　Of course, since this press release came out in February, it's possible that these plans have changed.

　　Beyond this, the real meat of the announcement - pardon the pun - is the addition of a new, optional vegetarian mode, which will allow players to ditch meat in favor of meatless recipes. This is the first game in the series to do so, and aims to make the game more palatable to potential vegetarian fans.

　　Players will be able to switch between and cook in both 'traditional' and 'vegetarian' modes. Cooking Mama: Cookstar will use a mix of motion gestures and traditional controls in its recipes.
