Casual decorating game Home Sweet Home coming to WiiWare

by Jason Dobson on Apr 15th 2008 9:00PM

Interior design hopefuls looking for a way to live out their future profession of choice from the comfort of their living room will soon get their wish, albeit vicariously through WiiWare, as casual pub Big Blue Bubble has confirmed plans to release Home Sweet Home over the download service.

The game, which is currently available on for the PC, offers more or less the experience you'd expect from a casual game built around home decorating, though we imagine the Wii version will include a great deal more waggle and wrist-twisting antics. Just try not to get carpal tunnel while hanging the dining room drapes.

The parade of sucky ports continues...

Another troll post from Gavin.....

I love the internet...where someone's honest opinion becomes a "troll post". Sorry if I call them like I see them.

I calls em like I sees em. So do I.

All your "opinions" bash on the Wii. If it sucks so bad, why don't you sell yours to someone who wants it?

Maybe cause he likes video games and he's giving Nintendo a chance to come out with something good? It's the man own money, he can go buy a Virtual Boy if he wanted and still complain about it.

My sister is going to shart her jorts.

me: WTF....

Wii Fanboys: FABULOUS!

Well said good Sir.

Hey mr. Strawman, still looking for that set of brains? ;)

Home and coming in the same sentence... oh wait...

*goes back under bridge*

Shove...shove..shove...sovelware!

sovelware?

Exactly! Sovelware! Its "Shovelware" taken to the next step! TRUE GARBAGE!

I totally meant to spell it like that... of course.. totally ;)

G.O.T.Y.?

this kinda reminds me of sienfeld...anyone get that feeling?

http://www.habbohotel.com

I hate that site, but still a blatant rip.

I actually thought that Habbo Hotel was coming to the Wii when I saw the screenshot. I wonder if having to actually buy the game would decrease cases of pool-related AIDs.

IF games like this are constantly being created, the companies must be only acting upon the chiming of their cash registers that they hear.

I feel that the very definition of the term 'gamer' is about to change. No longer are us 'hardcore' gamers the apple of the 'big 3's' eye. We are but a 'niche' market in the gaming industry now.

Sad.

/takes comfort in my hardcore games on 360/PS3...

Game makers don't owe you shit. Get over it.

If the expect me to play their game, they owe it to me not to make a bunch of bull...

Are some Wii Developers even trying? Where's the mowing the grass sim? The make-up sim? Is that casual enough?

Trust me, they've all been wanting this to happen all along. Doesn't matter how many limited collector's editions of Mass Halo Gear Auto of War hardcore gamers buy there are WAY more people who'd never touch those games and their money is just as green. Problem was nobody could figure out how to make a game appeal to them except to slap a movie/TV license on it. Nintendo's finally changed that and the entire rest of the industry wants in on their money printing machine one way or another.

Isn't that what Animal Crossing is?

You know it's sad when the post contains the word "waggle"... quality site.

Yea - there's going to be a lot of shovelware on this system. Already is. What's it mean? It just means you won't buy it. Simple as that. Good devs will still make games that appeal to the hardcore - might be on other systems, but that's why you bought them instead of the Wii right?

I'll just pick up the games that I want to play... won't really complain about the ones I don't want to play.. otherwise I'd be complaining a whole lot more than playing.

Holy Shit! Someone in here with common sense.

+1 internets sir!

its garbage like this that keeps the wii from obtaining a good rep.

I agree there. It also gives the CDRs (Console Dick Riders) something to bitch about too. They love them hardcore games on their P-60's, but their in here being little girls. Guess we are all waiting for the hardcoreness of GTAIV.

Spelled "they're" wrong. Shit. I'm going to go read a book and go to bed.

Excellent idea.

It would appear that the Wii's rep is just fine. Especially outside gamer-centric sites like Joystiq.

I'd wait til animal crossing, it will definitely be better.

Just so we're all clear: an interior design game that appeals to casuals on the WiiWare service is obviously a threat to ALL of our penises.

Given this information, I trust you will all continue to respond with the appropriate level of rationality that you have been. Godspeed, fanboys.

May I suggest a name and threat-assess level for this clear and present danger to our collective manhood?

Codename: Deviously Improvised Cock Killer or D.I.C.K.
Threat Level: Purple, on a scale of 1-Rainbow

At least it's not Yaris.

True. Dat. Shiggy.

I think my wife would enjoy this game tho.

Hating on this game? Well gee, I'd hope if you are a heterosexual male you wouldn't find this game appealing. I think you guys are missing the target audience of this game: GIRLS. My sister constantly watches HGTV decorating shows nonstop, so I immediately thought of her when I saw this game. I downloaded a demo on my PC and watched her delight as she played. She LOVED it. Personally I couldn't imagine myself enjoying this game, being strait and all. But if it makes her happy, I will be buying this game for her birthday in May. Goodness you guys, get a clue.
