Now I know that most (not all of course) moms out there are like me and love to let their children play games. Board, computer or video games are big in my house.

My daughter unfortunately is of the age that most of the games her 5 and 8 year old brother play are just not suited for her. So imagine my thrill to find out about the new game coming out from Nintendo for the DS system called “My Baby” geared toward ages 3 and up! This is just perfect for her to enjoy and feel like she is getting to do what her big brothers do. Not to mention she loves to play with baby dolls so having the ds “baby” to interact with her will make it all the more fun.

You can try out a snippet of the game here to see how the game will work (of course there will be much more to the game than what you experience on the site. I was actually having a blast myself with the little cutie.

Some info taken from the email I received about the game:
The choices children make during their play time can have significant developmental benefits. Pretend play with dolls is known to improve a variety of early skills including language, communication, problem solving, social and motor skills.

Next month, SouthPeak Games will introduce the 21st century baby doll with the new My Baby Girl and My Baby Boy series for Nintendo DS. The new baby doll is designed to allow children to nurture, engage and raise their baby at their own pace with their own sensitivities, instincts and style. How they raise and relate to their baby will be their very own personal experience.

Players begin by choosing a name, ethnicity and eye-color for their baby. From baby’s first smile, to her first steps players learn how to help their baby grow physically and emotionally. Along the way, players get help from a pediatrician who offers advice on caring for the baby. From how to change a diaper to how to hold a bottle, children learn all the ways they can keep their baby healthy and grow. As the baby meets certain developmental milestones, new age appropriate activities get unlocked.

My Baby Girl and My Baby Boy are suitable for children ages three years and older and will be available starting November 10, 2008. So be on the lookout for this new game from Nintendo that is going to keep children and adults alike, entertained.
