What kind of sorcery is this!?

We've seen bizarre Wii remote accessories before (this bowling ball encasement certainly comes to mind), but everyone else can quit now -- 505 Games has won. Because as Aussie-Nintendo reports (via Kotaku), their latest Wii exclusive title Baby and Me encases your Wii inside a baby.
No, really. The special edition of this child-rearing game aimed at little girls comes with a baby doll with a slot in its back for the Wii remote, which allows the doll to react "by giggling, gurgling or crying through the Wii remote [speaker]." At last, this makes real the futuristic vision of doll playing made tantalizingly vivid in that one scene in Steven Spielberg's virtuoso sci-fi flick Minority Report (pretty sure there was a scene like that in there, haven't seen it in a while).

But the doll doesn't just giggle or cry. With Balance Board support, you can also "rock baby to sleep, burp baby, [and] teach baby to walk." There will be 10 "Baby Mode" games such as "feed baby" and "send baby to sleep," and 8 "Play Mode" games such as "rattle, catch, clap & balloons."

We really hope "rattle," "catch," and "clap" aren't played using the Wiimote-equipped baby.

Wait, wait, hang on.


They're encouraging people to put their Wii in a baby.

So they've made a baby doll that does nothing other baby dolls don't, only that this one requires a wii/mote to work?

Gosh golly, such innovation!

Will it cry if you hang it upside down and shake it?

Only for a little bit, then it stops.

There is absolutely no Wii game that could not be made more entertaining by using the remote inside a baby. The more I think about baby bowling or baby fencing the more funny it becomes.

We are still talking about the product above, right... and not a real human baby?
