If you don't like it, don't buy it. No one's holding a gun to your head to make you pretend to be a mommy. I would have loved this when I was a little girl and many little girls will. I don't see the big deal. You'd probably think it was really cool if you were 4 or 5. #wii
I see a lot of sequels to this:
Toddler and Me
Kindergartner and Me
Tween and Me
Teenager and Me
Kid Who is Old Enough to get a Job and Me
When is He Moving Out and Me
I Want An Empty Nest and Me
I'm Too Old for this Shit and Me
What Do You Mean You're Pregnant and Me
Is He Going to Marry You and Me (but not me, just you)
then
Baby and Me II #wii
This isn't a game for the people who read Kotaku. Why the hell are people freaking out about it? It's a game for a little girl that comes with a baby doll. My 5 year old sister would love this.
Jeez i would like to buy a Wii for my little brother this x-mas, but i start reconsidering that decision every time i see one of this so called games.
Sure there's about 5-6 games that my little brother and i would enjoy playing, but i not willing to spend close to half of my paycheck if this is what they are coming up with. #wii
@Innis: As many people have replied to other posts about this sort of shit.
You and your brother clearly aren't the target audience for this game.
If the existence of this game really defers your choice of buying a Wii, then you should look at almost every system ever, at the dumb games they've come up with, and you should feel ashamed of yourself for being such a shallow piece of shit.
@out-phaze: I have to agree with him, actually. When he goes to the store and buys his Wii, this is the only game he will see on the shelf. It's sad really. If he had other games to choose from, then he wouldn't have a problem, but since this is clearly the only game on the Wii, he's right in allowing it to influence his decision. #wii
@out-phaze: lol so i'm a "shallow piece of shit" because i don't want to spend $200 on a console that keeps getting this type of games?
lol i'm sorry but i work from 12 am to 8 am five days at week for a horrible paycheck, so i'm sorry if i'm a little picky about where to spend what little money i get.
And is not just this game that keeps me from buying a Wii, is that boatload of half assed attempt at a cash in by developers. #wii
@out-phaze: "You're not the target audience" is probably the lamest rationalization Nintendo fanboys have gotten behind recently. The problem is that games(and hardware revisions) Where I'm not the target audience are coming out daily for Nintendo and much less frequently for the PS3/360.
A terrible game is a terrible game, no matter who its targeted to. Where is the seal of quality? The sholveware is getting out of control and every day I get a little more paranoid that Nintendo is going to drive the industry into the ground and that we are going to see another 1983 [en.wikipedia.org]
@☆Giroro G66☆: Nintendo isn't making those games. lazy third parties are. if anyone's driving the industry to the ground, it's them (and activision). Nintendo actually has made a few excellent games, including for the wii. though I'm not going to post a list, we've had enough of those and people still don't get it.
@Innis: yes, you are a shallow piece of shit if you see ONE game that does not apply to your tastes and therefore decide to forsake an entire system, but that's the condescending, vulgar way of saying it. I personaly would just say tha you can look at any of the 1 billion Wii game lists that have been posted by other commenters before and see if there's something that you would like to play. if not, wel then that's a pity, but not the end of the world.
just know that if it really is a question of money, you're gonna spend over at least 60-70$ for each game on the other consoles. Nintendo games are usually cheaper (40-50$).
Also how old is your brother? maybe he'd prefer playing Mario games, or is he more of wannabe mature pre-teen who needs his games to be filled with hemoglobine? #wii
@☆Giroro G66☆: I wouldn't worry so much about a video game market crash. The video game industry is much larger and well established than it was 25 years ago. It would be like saying Hollywood produced some bad movies and so there was a movie market crash. It just won't happen. #wii
Nintendo's Seal of Quality only pertained to if the software would properly work on the hardware/console. If you're old enough, you'd remember all the crap games, in terms of gameplay and design, from the 80's that would receive that such seal. Not to mention all the many peripherals that would receive the same seal too.
There has always been crap for games, and there always will be crap for games no matter which console or generation thereof. The industry is highly successful and quite frankly large enough to sustain itself through economical turmoil. Recession, what recession?
There's not going to be a crash, and it most certainly isn't going to be from Nintendo, Microsoft or Sony. Pfft, sensationalism?
@Koztah: you're welcome. then again if you'd read my post thoroughly you would know that is not my opinion, or at least not how I would state it. But this doesn't matter because obviously whenever he enters a store these are the only games he will find, so yes, you are right. everyone knows the Wii has no other kind of games.
@Innis: Choosing not to get a console because of the existence of shitty games is horribly fail.
You don't have to even acknowledge the game's existence.
I wouldn't have cared so much if you said "I don't want the system because all of the games suck" but no, you didn't say that, you said that this game and games like it are the reason, which is retarded.
There is nothing fail about telling someone they aren't the target audience. You can /easily/ ignore the existence of this shit. As sad as it is, I know a couple people that are incredibly excited to get this for their daughters. #wii
Dammit! This would be a great exclusive if it weren't on the Wii. Bring this to PS360 so I can enjoy it in HI-DEF, the way it was meant to be experienced.
Now all of a sudden my intense hatred for Nintendo that the wii caused makes perfect sense to others.
It's a revolution in gaming they say it will change how the industry works they claim. Is this the change you people wanted are you happy now look what they did to gaming LOOK AT IT!
If we can just convince at least 40% of the Nintendo share holders to sell there stock they might realize what they did. #wii
@sunpop: Dumbass, this game isn't targeted towards you. IT's targeted towards very young girls. And what is the problem with young children having games to play with?
@Hamster Poop: People hate the thousand or so useless peripherals for the Wii. I don't think anyone really complains about the presence of children's games- we clearly aren't the target audience.
Look back at some older consoles. What peripherals did they have? Usually just a light gun, an extension cord for a controller and one or two niche things. It seems that every other game for the Wii has some unique peripheral associated with it. It's tiresome. #wii
This wouldnt be half as bad if little girls these days actualy still went for dolls. most of the time I do babysitting jobs for extra cash I see them playing with 'core gamer' games and completely ignoring dolls, dresses, and whatever the media still thinks little girls are into. #wii
