Wii Gets A Fireplace

The Wii has always been the family console. The one that can be used for family games night instead of Monopoly or Scrabble. It is therefore safe to assume that the indigenous habitat of this creature in many homes is the family room ie. the one with the TV and coffee table.

It is with this in mind that Spanish developer, Korner Entertainment, is proud to announce their latest addition to Nintendo’s WiiWare; The Wii Fireplace. It is basically a virtual fireplace that is intended to make your home seem that much more homely. Features that are not included with this amazing piece of software are fire, warmth, realism (despite claims that it is ‘hyper-realistic’) and pretty much anything else that makes a real fireplace useful and awesome. The thumbnail I used is what a real fire should look like.
Why anybody ever saw a need to make something like this is beyond me but the idea is to put it on and let it ‘warm’ up the atmosphere of your room although it will probably make the family room pretty boring since you will not be able to watch TV with this thing on.
