1989 MSX2 release of Super Cooks gets an EGG Console port for Nintendo Switch

D4 Enterprise is gradually releasing a new EGG Console port for Nintendo Switch based on Compile's 1989 MSX2 release of Super Cooks. The port is set to become available in Nintendo eShops worldwide, including in the US storefront at $6.49.

Super Cooks is noted as a parody of Shin Maou Golvellius. D4 Enterprise had also earlier released a similar port based on the latter's 1988 MSX2 release for the Switch in May 2024.

This is a story from a time when the world still had food.

"Give me your daughter!"
"Never. I won't give my daughter to the likes of you!"

I was a cook, preparing various dishes. At seventeen, I fell in love with Rina, the only daughter of the Head Chef.

At the age of twenty, I proposed. Though it was a perfectly ordinary proposal that made me want to cry, Rina smiled and nodded. However, the Head Chef refused to give his blessing. Raising his eyebrows into an angry frown, he hurled a teacup at me and screamed, "Never!" Rina comforted me, saying, "Father was just upset. He'll forgive us in a few days."

Just as Rina said, three days later, the Head Chef granted our marriage—but only on one condition: I must complete my training in Kitchen Land. Kitchen Land is a place where none of this world's rules of physics apply. Apples hop like rabbits, and shumai dance. Few people who ventured to Kitchen Land for training have ever returned.

But I will go. For Rina!

Released by Compile in 1989, this title is an Action Role-Playing Game (Action RPG) originally included in Disk Station SP2.

This game features a unique premise: the protagonist, Kelesis, embarks on a culinary training journey to gain approval to marry his beloved. It incorporates staple Action RPG elements, including perspective switching (top-down and side-scrolling) and battles against giant bosses.

Incidentally, this title is a parody version of Shin Maoh Golvelius, making it immediately accessible to fans of Golvelius. While this version has a lighter feel due to Compile's unique presentation, it is undoubtedly an enjoyable Action RPG that delivers a satisfying experience.
