Planet Entertainment released this Switch cartridge earlier this month, though IP holder Office Create says it wasn’t allowed to.

The creator of the Cooking Mama franchise is threatening legal action against publisher Planet Entertainment over what it is calling an “unauthorized release” of Switch title Cooking Mama: Cookstar. The game, which technically came out earlier this month, now seems to be caught in a partial state of retail and distribution limbo.

Cooking Mama IP holder Office Create (which developed the best-selling Nintendo DS and Wii editions of the game) said in a statement that Planet Entertainment licensed the name for Cookstar back in 2018. “Unfortunately, the quality of the game builds failed to meet the standards that our customers expect and deserve,” Office Create said.

“Office Create rejected a wide range of deficiencies affecting the overall feel, quality and content of the game,” the statement continued. “Yet, despite being contractually obligated to correct the identified deficiencies and resubmit the corrected game for Office Create’s approval, Planet proceeded to release Cooking Mama: Cookstar without addressing all of the rejections and without Office Create’s approval.”
