WiiWare's My Fireplace is a Game About a Fireplace

[likalaruku]

First outdoor barbequing & now this? Mercey me, how ever can I contain my excitement?

 

[Keava]

I already anticipate their next release, could be something like "My turned off TV set" where it simulates a turned off TV while its actually turned on! The depth of the realistic lack of visual will be very immersive and will provide hundreads if not thousands of fun for all the family.

 

[Kenjitsuka]

Wow! Who wants to buy a $1 DVD of a fireplace if they can mess with a picture of one for a multitude of said dollar instead?

 

[OceanRunner]

Nintendo have sunk to a new low.

 

[HollywoodH17]

Stoke like a maniac, or choose the automatic option if you don't want to be troubled by the upkeep of a virtual fire.

I can't remember the last time I laughed this hard. Great sarcasm!

...Why? What is the point of a fireplace on a computer-game? Why not just end up simulating flipping a coin as well when you need a coin flipped to make a decision?

Chances are you are going to snapped up by a Nintendo executive by the end of the day. They can't let your ideas go to waste, if you start to struggle try suggesting to them "A man playing a game simulator".

Poor people without a fireplace, they won't know the hilarity of when coal spits out of the fire onto a rug. They also won't know the happiness that is the warmth of a fire when it's cold.

Either that or suggest them to move the hell on and make some new characters. To explore new and interesting ideas. Maybe try to appeal to the more serious crowd. Haha, who am I kidding? Nintendo making a Heavy Rain-esque game?!

Those poor people who have to rely on a Wii simulation will sadly never know the hilarity of having a bulldog shove it's arse between you and the fire-place guard, as it begins to pant away next to the roaring flame. Haha, good times.

I .. I have no words. I think I'm jut going to start stabbing people who unironically said they wanted to pay $60 for this ... atrocity.

 

[Tharwen]

But... Dante's Inferno was already released. Why are they still virally marketing it?

 

[dthree]

Wonder what the boss level is like

 

[Jared]

Well. I will certainly say it's unique...

Only in Japan lol

 

[warbaloon]

Statistics show that trillions of people die in fireplace-related accidents each year.

O_O

Trillions?

this just in fireplaces are worse then hitter and stallion combined

Skim through the article and close it. Few seconds later...trillions? Reopen article.
Maybe he's talking about sim deaths.

 

[squid5580]

So why would I need this when my cable provider gives me the Fireplace Channel free of charge?

No I am not kidding. I have a channel that is the fireplace channel and that is all it is 24/7

 

[MurderousToaster]

Oh no, WiiWare is turning into the Indie Games section for Xbox. Now, brace for the stream of massage games.

 

[PurpleSky]

I giggled at the article.I can only imagine a let's play for this.


Also,when is the My Desktop coming and will it be for PC?
Here's hoping

 

[KarmicToast]

This is especially stupid considering the Wii's inability to even make something like a fireplace look realistic. Even if I wanted a virtual fireplace, (which I don't) I would most likely want one that was rendered in something better than gamecube graphics.

 

[Optimus Hagrid]

Now THIS is a Halo killer.

As in, you can put the disk in it.

 

[LornMind]

Now people can play Wii Resort pretend to have warmth instead of going on real holiday actually having it!

 

[captainwolfos]

Please stop saying fireplace. My brain can't take it anymore.

OT: Sure, I'd get it. If I had a Wii and it was FREE WiiWare; just for the lulz.
But if it were like, 1,000 Wii points, I'd say it was a complete waste. If it were free I wouldn't feel like I wasted money when I finally get bored and delete it.

Yeah, they've already done that as an App for the Pokétch on the last Pokémon games. It was totally pointless and it makes me wonder what kinds of objects random Nintendo developers have lodged in their brains this time.
I love you, Nintendo, but please start bringing out games for this console generation, not completely pointless screensavers.
