Meet the Wiimote-ready baby doll

Talk about shades of Cabbage Patch Kids. The rather unsettling Baby and Me Wii game brings baby to life in a child-rearing sim that not only ships with a Wiimote-ready doll, it's in a detestable color that a certain mouthless cat has made commonplace. But what's more disturbing is if this ends up as a replacement baby for some people.

Game-wise, this utilizes motion control to prompt the doll to laugh, cry or gurgle, though coming out of the Wiimote's tinsy speakers, this can only project in an eerily disembodied way. There are eight game modes with Wii Balance Board support(!!) which further enables this little ~~hellspawn~~ manikin to be burped, rocked, fed and taught to walk. Honestly, what will they think up next--did someone mention breast pumps? This special edition has a November 10 release destined for the Australian market only.
