Baby and Me Wii (Credit: 505 Games)

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 more disturbing is the prospect of this ending up as a replacement baby for some people.

Game-wise, this one utilizes motion control to prompt the doll to laugh, cry, or gurgle, though coming out of the Wiimote's teensy 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 mannequin to be burped, rocked, fed, and taught to walk.

Honestly, what will they think up next, breast pumps? This special edition has a November 10 release destined for the Australian market only.

Geez. Issues much, Juniper? Mebbe you should dish off the next baby-doll-tech story to someone a touch less...passionate about the subject matter.
