D4 Enterprise, the specialist behind the EGGCONSOLE series of retro game reissues, continues to delight classic gaming fans by adding the action-RPG Super Cooks to its growing Nintendo Switch catalog.
Set for release on February 26, 2026, Super Cooks embodies a continued commitment from D4 Enterprise to revive some of the most distinctive and lesser-known MSX2 titles from Compile, the acclaimed developer responsible for the puzzle franchise Puyo Puyo. Originally debuting in 1989 as a part of Compile’s Disc Station Special 2 disk magazine, Super Cooks delivers a humorous twist on the formula established by Compile’s earlier 1988 MSX2 title, Shin Maoh Golvelius.
In Super Cooks, the narrative swaps out the traditional tale of heroes and kidnapped royalty for an offbeat adventure centered on an amateur chef striving to impress his beloved through culinary expertise.
The core gameplay retains Golvelius’s mix of top-down overworld exploration and side-scrolling dungeon sequences, but thematically reinvents the experience with a culinary parody lens. Rather than facing the traditional bestiary of trolls, snakes, and bats, players encounter an array of food-themed adversaries.
The arsenal, too, plays into the food-motif, equipping players with utensils and condiments—such as kitchen knives, frying pans, and salt and pepper shakers—rather than classic fantasy weaponry.
Throughout their journey, players will interact with multiple NPCs, many cleverly hidden behind doorways.
These characters provide valuable assistance: for instance, a friendly elderly woman sells potions and cookbooks to aid progress, while a cheerful Santa offers cryptic tips about uncovering secrets. In keeping with the approach seen across the EGGCONSOLE portfolio, Super Cooks on Nintendo Switch will be presented without English text.
However, D4 Enterprise ensures accessibility for international players by including an English-language how-to-play section.
This thoughtful touch continues the publisher’s mission to make rare Japanese classics approachable for a broader audience while maintaining their original charm. The move to bring Super Cooks to the Nintendo Switch is part of an ongoing trend by D4 Enterprise to leverage the platform’s thriving retro and indie game ecosystem.
By tapping into Compile’s rich back catalog—particularly titles that have rarely seen global release—D4 Enterprise provides both collectors and longtime fans a new opportunity to experience forgotten gems.
