You don't know me

I didn't really readdd it but this fell out

Wiiii U and Nintendo PWOER are pretty fun.

but I already put them in the inferno

now they are smoooke

LItttle Inferno is pretty much my favorte game.

Even though it doesn't make any sense.

Buy stuff and thrrow it in a fire and get more money to buy more stuff?

That can't last forevver.

...

I stare into the fire for hours and days

Where does all the time go?

...

Up up up the chimney

Like everything else.

Love,

SP

If you’re curious to know more about Little Inferno, there’s a 4-page preview in the brand new October issue of Nintendo Power Magazine. Fun Fact: Our programming mastermind Allan has collected every single issue of Nintendo Power ever since he was a kid. So getting featured in one of the very last issues makes this an especially special preview for us kids of the 90s.

You can read the first two pages here, but the other two pages exist only in the real live pages of the paper magazine. (While we wait for ours to arrive, if anyone has a photo or scan, please send our way, as we haven’t even seen them yet!) Thanks to Phil, Chris, and Steven at Nintendo Power for forcing us to start talking about this game.

I don’t think we ever actually announced anywhere, except maybe vaguely, that we were shooting to have Little Inferno ready for Day 1 of the Wii U launch, but apparently that news has been discovered by old friend of Hatsworth and World of Goo and super sleuth Mr. Stephen Totilo and the fine folks at Kotaku. So that means mid-November. And we’re honored to be in such sophisticated indie company.

For non-nintendo folks, we’re planning to have the Windows version ready the same day, on our site, and on Steam, and possibly on a few other stores still in talks.

This is all dependent upon us ironing out the last few details and shoveling in as much coal and hydrocarbons as we can. Lots more updates to follow, including a new trailer in progress that actually shows real actual gameplay – I know it’s been a long time coming.

BREAKING REPORT. The ESRB has officially declared Little Inferno unsafe for children, with a rating of “T for Teen”.

Tomorrow Corporation would like to take this opportunity to remind players to please use caution while playing with your Little Inferno Entertainment Fireplace. Please do not insert your Little Inferno into your mouth, as it may pose a choking hazard. Please do not insert your children into your Little Inferno Entertainment Fireplace, as they may not be easily reassembled. Little Inferno is for external use only.

Studies have indicated that when used properly, with appropriate safety measures, your Little Inferno Entertainment Fireplace will warm your home – and your heart.

[Beta Update: We’re still testing on friends and family, and will launch the beta on Steam as soon as the last few changes are ticked off the punch list. If you’d like to take part in the beta, you can sign up here.]
