WiiWare's My Fireplace is a Game About a Fireplace

While true, Like my previous post. A lot of people love to watch Fireplaces. While it may be silly to us, it might be great for the fans. Now the only downside I see in this is the price. Nintendo can pull a Microsoft and charge 1,000 Wii points for this.SnootyEnglishman said:
At least it's no dumber than that XBLA fireplace Major Nelson announced a while back for XBLA. I only remember two things, it was overpriced crap that did nothing, and he got slammed for it by the users... hard.
At least this sounds more interactive, if not still anincredibly stupid unusual idea. Maybe this is what an app style program looks like on a console?

What an oddly compelling product - it's always been my secret desire to have a virtual fireplace on my television screen, and now it's possible, joy!
But seriously, just how many drugs do you have to ingest before you decide making a virtual fireplace application is a sound course of action?

You have to be kidding me, Nintendo let it through, and you think it's worth it for the "fans"?Aura Guardian said:
Fans of WHAT exactly? Watching virtual fireplaces? Because I'm pretty sure none of those exist!
These are the kind of "quality games" that Nintendo allows publishers to make and sell on their system, their low standards of what they allow hurt gamers, Microsoft charges more, but I'd gladly pay $20 for something worth every penny than any amount of cash for a VIRTUAL FIRE!
Not to mention, this whole thing is based on the "stunning visual effects" which might have been better served on...I don't know, A CONSOLE WITH HD!?
Oh and like you said, a lot of people like to watch FIREPLACES, not virtual fireplaces, if they're going to make it virtual, they could at least adhere to the standards of the last decade and make it HD, it would still be a joke, but right now it's so much of a joke it's not funny, it just makes you angry for some reason.
If the only downside you can see is price, then you must have missed the fact that this is a VIRTUAL FIREPLACE, I can't even come up with an analogy that makes it sound more useless than what it is.
Except people who expect to see an HD picture, you know, instead of just rubbing dirt in their eyes.Aura Guardian said:
There's a difference between being okay with a game and actually spending the time, effort, and money to develop it. It doesn't break any of Nintendo's policies, so they stand to make money on all 3 copies this game sells.SnootyEnglishman said:
OT: This is really just a sad attempt to make a quick buck on the casual audience. This game probably took 2 weeks and a couple hundred dollars to make. It both surprises and saddens me that this is actually a game.
The only reason this is possible is that the makers have had a lot of fireplace romantic evenings. Why waste the time making a fire when you can flip it on? Romantic fireplace right and ready so you can have more fun time for romancing that lover of yours.
This is the way to treat press releases about crap software like this that comes out. There's no point in treating a company with respect if they are going to half ass something like this and then try to make money off of it. (But you know these guys are going to come out next year and say the Wii isn't good for third parties since obviously they made such a wonderful product it should dominate sales)
Ah yes, I can picture those magical evenings now. Coming home in the middle of a blizzard, going and turning on the fire, pretending to get warm, and roasting pretend marshmallows...
Seriously, who the hell came up with this? Are they thinking casual gamers might get it? Last time I checked, casual gamers actually like having some interactivity in their games.

Great. Now I have another piece of shovelware to present alongside Wii Music to showcase how utterly worthless the Wii has become.
I think your mistaken the Wii for the Xbox 360. As 90% of the Xbox 360 titles are dirt colored.danpascooch said:
