Now you can be a parent without having the real life hassels.

cdv Software Entertainment USA is pleased to announce their first Nintendo DS™ title -- My Little Baby. A family-friendly game, My Little Baby gives players the opportunity to raise and care for a baby – all without the real-world messes, sleepless nights, or “terrible two’s.”

Players start by choosing virtual parents’ traits – eye color, hair color, skin tone, etc. – that 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 through four distinct developmental stages, 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! My Little Baby is slated to ship to North American retail Spring 2009.
