My Baby First Steps
Toddling onto North American shelves.
MIDLOTHIAN, VA – November 12, 2009 – SouthPeak Games, in conjunction with Nobilis Games, announced today that My Baby First Steps™ for Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ has shipped to retailers in North America.
“We’re thrilled to launch the new DS game and incredibly excited that Wii gamers will get to experience the joy of raising a baby for the first time” said Richard Iggo, VP of Marketing for SouthPeak. "We expect both versions of My Baby First Steps to be massive hits with the loyal audience of virtual mommies who’ve been very vocal in demonstrating their excitement for the new game.”
My Baby First Steps follows last year’s blockbuster Nintendo DS hits My Baby Girl and My Baby Boy. It gives aspiring parents the exciting task of teaching and nurturing their baby as it grows to become a walking, talking toddler. Players will teach their baby how to recognize and name shapes and body parts, feed themselves, climb stairs and more. Just like the first game, the baby will need lots of interaction and affection and will need to be fed, changed, bathed and gently put to sleep at night.
My Baby First Steps features all new customization options. Players can determine their baby’s appearance and sex, or let the game surprise them. Taking trips to the mall allows players to buy new clothing and accessories for their baby and for their home!
My Baby First Steps is available now for Wii™ and Nintendo DS™ for a suggested retail price of $29.99. It is rated E for everyone; for more information visit www.mybabyvillage.com.
