The Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase today had some quirky titles, but Chillin' by the Fire is perhaps one of the strangest showcases for Nintendo's new hardware. Releasing today for Nintendo Switch 2, in Chillin' by the Fire, you can build a campfire to your heart's content. Guide and direct the flow of oxygen through the placement of logs and keep the fire properly lit. The Nintendo Switch 2 camera is supported, allowing you to sit around the campfire with up to four friends through online play. You can also play the game with Nintendo Switch owners through local and online GameShare. While sitting around the fire, short prompts will pop up, specifically for subjects to chat about. It's laidback cozy atmosphere seems to be the driving force. Oink Games is mostly known for their small card and board games, such as Scout and Nine Tiles Panic, but have slowly embraced publishing digital games as well such as Safo and the Moon Warriors and Tiger Trio's Tasty Travels.Chillin' by the Fire can be bought starting today on the Nintendo eShop for $14,99

While watching this portion of the Direct my mind kept going to the old Simpsons bit "Really, is this a joke?"  I'm half expecting AAA Clock to make a Direct next.

I can only assume this got any sort of legitimate placement in the Direct because it uses the camera and there were probably no other third party games at all that use it.  Nintendo wants you to care about this feature, dammit!
