Stop the presses - there's a new baby game in town. Hot on the miniature heels of THQ's Baby Pals comes My Baby Boy and My Baby Girl, both set to be released by Nobilis this June.

Yes, come next month you'll be able to care for your very own little angel on your DS, with interactions such as changing its nappy, wheeling it about in a pram and sending it into a frenzy with an assortment of toys and sounds.

And, most importantly, when looking after your baby gets a bit hectic you can just turn off your console and neglect it for a few days.

Instead of going for ultra realistic visuals - like the aforementioned Baby Pals - My Baby Boy/Girl opts for cel-shaded babies with big heads. Well, slightly bigger than the norm anyway. They're no less cute for it though and we're fairly certain the game's target audience will go ga-ga for them.

As they may well do with the also-announced accessories pack (or Baby Kit) which will also be going on sale with the game. The DS pack (pictured above) will come in two versions - pink and blue, obviously - and will include all sorts of accessories for your console, including a wrist strap, screen protector, finger stylus and cleaning cloth, as well as the game itself.

Both the stand-alone game and the Baby Kit will be released in June. As the Baby Kit's press release says: "Your Nintendo DS deserves a little bit of tenderness too". Buy it, and we're sure your console will be very grateful.
