Fans have discovered some new information about an upcoming Cooking Mama title coming to the Nintendo Switch. The game: Cooking Mama: Coming Home to Mama, is being described as a reboot of the franchise that will be available in Fall 2019. The game is being developed by Planet Digital Partners, and will be their first portfolio game. While one of the most talked about features is the new Vegetarian Mode, which will provide new and unique recipes to create substitutes for animal and meat based dishes, there is also discussion around the integration of “blockchain technology.”

In a press release issued by Planet Digital Partners, the game is referred to as "Cooking Mama: Coming Home To Mama" and is described as a reboot of the top-selling family-friendly series. It's expected to be available in Fall 2019 and will add a vegetarian mode. Here are the details:

“New to Cooking Mama will be a ‘Vegetarian Mode’ where players who do not wish to prepare meals with meat ingredients will be able to cook creative, alternate meatless recipes”, the release says. “Players will be able to cook in both ‘Traditional Mode’ and ‘Vegetarian Mode’ and blend motion gestures from the Nintendo Switch with traditional controls for an immersive meal prep and cooking experience through each minigame played.” And if you want to buy Cooking Mama Items, visit z2u.com, a professional online in-game currency store.

Whereas for the Blockchain technology, Cooking Mama is also said to be the first of three games in publishers Planet Digital's portfolio that is being funded by digital preferred shares. To put it simply, each copy of the game will have “Unique Blockchain Private-Keys”, which the publishers are claiming will allow for stuff like improved DRM, rewards and “Enhanced Multiplayer Experience with Dual Expression”, which would mean “every copy of a game [would be] subtly different and personal to a user”.

Based on their statement: "Gaming is a $135 billion dollar industry with little opportunity to invest outside of the large public game publishers. We are using blockchain to add new innovative gameplay that investors can now have equity in. Putting aspects of Cooking Mama on-chain will take the user experience to a whole new level, reinvigorate a popular game franchise that many grew up with and give investors an opportunity to make handsome returns, through a digital preferred share offering."
