Nintendo Switch

PSA – Yet another asset flip, Word Chef, will be releasing on the Nintendo Switch in three separate places – two within a few weeks of each other



It’s bad enough that the Nintendo Switch continues to get asset flips on a regular basis, but this gets even more absurd and depressing when the same asset flip is released multiple times on the Nintendo Switch.

[Word Chef](https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/packs/word-search-cookies-88864), also going under the name Word Search Cookies and Word Chef Cookies, released on Unity in 2019, according to [the developer page](https://superpowstudio.blogspot.com/2019/01/word-chef-cookies-unity-complete-project.html). Last year, Benjamin Kistler brought this to Nintendo Switch in the asset flip [Eat Your Letters](https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/eat-your-letters-switch/). Then, in January 2022, Digital Game Group brought us [Chef Word Ardee](https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/chef-word-ardee-switch/). And now, coming up in February, Pix Arts is bringing us [Word Chef](https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/word-chef-switch/).

Just so everyone is aware, Benjamin Kistler, Digital Game Group, and Pix Arts are all well-established asset flippers on the eShop – their entire catalog is virtually nothing but asset flips, so if you want to avoid asset flips, stay away from anything to do with these developers. Pix Arts is particularly noteworthy in this regard – they are responsible for *countless* asset flips on the Nintendo Switch, including [Hammer 2: Reloaded](https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/hammer-2-reloaded-switch), which is also on the Nintendo Switch in two other places.

I also want to take a moment to shout out u/GotCake85, who has done some impeccable work researching these disgusting asset flips, and if you’re curious to learn more, I highly recommend his YouTube channel, [Star or Shovelware](https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBqbd34x14hEaP46XhaZucw).
