WiiWare's already had log burning simulator Fireplacing, but if that wasn't enough to satiate your desire to pretend to stoke a virtual fire you're in luck, as Cosy Fire is landing on WiiWare this week.
Boasting a whopping six types of fire, realistic PhysX-powered physics and "cosy fireplace sounds", the game looks to excel in the gameplay department with four vastly different play modes: Butler, in which logs are placed on the fire automatically; Non-stop, where the logs burn forever; Standard, a pre-made fire in any setting; and Individual, which is the game's Campaign mode. Here players can experience the thrills of selecting and placing their own logs, one-by-one.
Cosy Fire will set you back 500 Nintendo Points on Friday. Will you be downloading it? We also want to hear more of your wood and fire-related puns, please.

if shantae isnt realesed this friday i will buy this instead and burn something with it hehe
I still prefer to put a video of a fireplace on my SD card and watch it via the Photo Channel. Only difference is that it has no sound. And it's just €5,- cheaper....
Show pretty much what's wrong with both the industry and the audience of the current gaming generation.
The caption is brilliant!
So The Fireplace Sim War begins!
i bet this game wiil get a 10/10. my soul is on "fire" with anticipation. heh heh heh.
since i burned myself out on crappy puns last time around, i'll spare you all for today. >:3
whoops, i lied
@reala: idk about you, but i'm waiting for the linoleum-curling sim, that's gonna be sooooo much fun~
This makes me want to start a riot, with torches and pitchforks....especially the torches
This is what WiiWare has come to I can only hope that Frontier is working on another Lost Winds to blow out this fire
although this is good if you're hosting a party in which your TV is exposed. It kinda seems more classy.
Who needs gameplay when you can look at a virtual fire that won't even produce any heat (well unless your wii burns up from the intense awesomeness of this download)?
Oh man this just reminds me of how much I need a real fire ,its bloody freezing where I live at the moment. brrrrrrrr....
Also the line under the screenshot? Classic Newton.
Toasty.
ill wait for the museum sounds sim.
Where on Earth is the watching paint dry or watching grass grow sim? I cannot believe how cruel this world is.
I'm tempted to recycle my pun from the Fireplacing review, but I'll just let it smolder in the corner instead, I suppose.
Also, DTP as in "disturbing the peace"?
@TheLobster: these are called the sims and harvest moon
NO! ...... NO! Bad Company, BAAAD COMPANY!! Rolls up Newspaper to hit them with.
Rumor is that you can replace the logs with human limbs in this version.
it's apps like these that validate my decision not to look at the Shop Channel for the past 2 months straight.
...is it just me, or did they misspell the title of their own game?
@Wooton UK spelling.
Also, I like Putnam Whipple too.
I hope this isn't the only WiiWare thing we get this week.
yessss. i have been waiting for another game like fire placing. it was totally worth the points.this is on the top of my list.
Man, when will WiiWare pick itself up from the ashes?
You've just gotta love the wacky European download schedules...we've already got the ridiculous Flashlight & Discolight on DSiWare, soon we'll have 2 fireplace sims on WiiWare, yet still no sign of a Euro release date for either Shantae: Risky's Revenge or DSiWare Cave Story.
Nintendo, I AM DISSAPOINT.
1) Can you roast marshmallows in game.
2) Can you accidentally set the virtual house on fire?
3) Who will be reviewing it?
Why won't they stop?
I can't wait to play this game online with my friends.
This will probably sell like "hot" cakes
Not the only kind of log this game makes us think of
And I thought we were only going to get one S.C.A.T. game this week.
Seriously, WHO are the target audience for this?... the braindead?
I'm so glad something good finally came to WW. All I have is/are the lame Mega man 9/10, Bit Trip Beat, Equlibrio, Dr. Mario Online RX. Oh wait...
Honestly, why do people have such an issue with a fireplace app for the Wii? Its no worse then buying a DVD at Walgreens, its cheap, and there is a target audience for the thing.
If you have such an issue with the fact that its not a game, then why don't you look at the hundreds of Wiiware and Virtual Console games that are currently on the service just waiting to be downloaded.
I really don't see the issue with a couple of fireplace sims when you have hundreds of games at your fingertips you could download.
@Caryslan: True, there are target audiences for these things. But it almost seems like this is becoming the norm for releases.
Also, WiiWare has some good stuff on it, but the service overall could be way better, @ least imo.
I can't wait for the paint drying and grass growing games that will be coming out soon!
Wow, that's really something. Well, I'm gonna go face palm until my hand falls off. Bye!
