Download some warming Christmas cheer

Hamburg, Germany – December 2^nd 2013 – It’s a pity we don’t all have a fireplace anymore and share in the mellow relaxing  atmosphere that the glowing hearth can bring, but with ‘Cosy Fire’ on the WiiWare service, every home can now enjoy the next best thing.

Wii™ users will find themselves provided with a variety of logs to choose from and they can be stacked using the Wii Remote™ controller and as they strike a match they will be greeted by comforting crackling sound of the fire lighting up. It will now of course have to be tended, be stoked and have more logs added as required, just like the real thing. However, for those who are looking for total relaxation, they can always use the ‘Butler’ mode where more wood is added to the fire automatically. ‘Cosy Fire’ also has a ‘Non-stop’ mode where the logs simply don’t burn down, meaning new logs never need to be added at all.

‘Cosy Fire’ is also a relaxing treat for the eyes with six different fireplaces available: from rustic to classic and even Zen style fireplaces. The realistic and soothing fireside sounds complete the snug atmosphere.

Karaoke fans can also enjoy the most wonderful time of the year on their Nintendo DSi and Nintendo 3DS. Popular Christmas carols are waiting for those sing-along voices in the DSiWare™ karaoke game „Just SING! Christmas Songs“. With three different versions to choose from (Volumes 1 - 3), would-be singing talents can slip into a festively styled avatar and step onto the seasonally themed stage to sing Christmas classics in the finest karaoke style. For a little icing on the Christmas cake players can even film themselves with their handheld’s camera as they sing, and this is streamed live onto the video wall behind their performing avatar. Festive fun guaranteed!

To get into the seasonal swing of things, players simply have to connect to the Nintendo DSi Shop/Nintendo eShop using their handheld. Thanks to the intuitive control, downloading is child’s play.

Karaoke fans with an iPhone can now also put their seasonal singing abilities to the test: just look for the Xmas karaoke game ‘Just SING! Christmas Songs’ in the App Store.

With four popular Christmas songs to create a perfect Yuletide atmosphere, players are transported to the magical Advent period as they enjoy the ultimate in singing fun. Simply warm up your vocal chords, grab your iPhone and off you go, bringing holiday joy to friends and family. Players receive immediate feedback on their performance and there’s a special noise filter to provide a high quality karaoke experience. Get in the mood for Christmas!

The app is also compatible with iPod touch and iPad and all players have to do is connect their device to an external microphone.
