is a family-friendly game for Nintendo DS that gives players the opportunity to raise a baby – all without the real-world messes, sleepless nights, or "terrible two's." Players start by selecting the characteristics of virtual parents -- eye color, hair color, skin tone, etc. These traits then determine the baby's physical features. Once the baby arrives, it's up to the player to care for it – cradling, feeding, cleaning, entertaining and dressing the baby. As the baby grows, it will learn to crawl, then walk, and through interactions with the player via the microphone, can even learn to talk!
A helpful virtual nanny offers feedback and useful tips for raising the baby; while an easy-to-use menu system helps players navigate the world of raising a newborn – from shopping for unlockable food, toys, furniture and clothing to changing diapers. Many of the day-to-day tasks are presented through enjoyable and intuitive mini-games, with mastery praised and rewarded.
Doting parents can also take photos of their beautiful new baby for the scrap book, or enter them into an in-game beauty contest!
