Overview

  • Players can choose from Normal mode to steadily grow a blaze, Survival mode with limited wood supplies and environmental challenges, or Playground mode for four-player co-op races around multiple fire pits.
  • GameChat integration and Campfire Convo prompts display real-time video feeds and conversation starters to foster social interaction around the virtual fire.
  • Core mechanics involve splitting, stacking, drying and fanning logs to nurture a level 10 blaze while balancing wood thickness and moisture levels.
  • Interactive touches such as marshmallow roasting and optional fireworks rounds out the immersive campfire atmosphere.
  • The low-poly visuals use HDR support to amplify the flames’ glow, underscoring Nintendo’s push for social and indie titles in its July Direct showcase.
