Urgh.. a Babysitting DS game? Oh boy..

On another note though, my sister has virtually every single book in 'The Babysitters Club' series from that pic :)

Passa

Ha! I love love LOVED that series to death...I was reading up to and past the 100s. :) I too would have been a sucker for this game 10 years ago...

Pammeh

LOL, man, I love your posts Tori. I never really pay attention to who actually posts, but I noticed that I enjoy your articles/posts about girl gaming. Or Female Interactive Art usage. Whichever term you prefer.

AsWater

lol... I've only reas a few of the books and never really did like them, but some how I remember liking the show... Ummm yeah.

geekgrrl: Ditto!

That Girl Hates You

Great...now I have that Babysitters Club theme stuck in my head.

Demolition Debbie

I think I'll just go play Minimum Wage and earn virtual money flipping burgers and killing fat people... slowly.

Ignatius

Will we be able to trade kids from the Imagine Babiez games? *sob* I think I'll pass.

MelodyKitn

that pic....how nostalgic!

Jack Frost

@deathbunny: That movie has a killer poster.

@DaiMacculate: despite reading several books in the series, i never understood it either. never wanted to babysit my younger cousins, never hung out with younger neighborhood kids, never took responsibility for my friends' younger siblings. that probably goes a lot towards explaining my current bachelorette, 'immature' lifestyle and lack of maternal instinct. keep in mind, though, i'm a bit of a freak...

thats right, i used a Z.

I personally think this would work a lot better on the Wii. The waggle would be great for a little Louise Woodard mini game.

Ill pass. I just want to erase my memories of babysitting.

Adventures in Babysitting the game, finally a possibility?!

I've done it all 8 years ago. *Shudder* I'm not doing it again in any way, shape or form. That is until I get a kid.

I really like how their Nasdaq ticker is "COOL".... I wonder if any company have "PWND", it's kind of disturbing that the company that brought us Bloodrayne is making/publishing this game..

play an evil babysitter that drink baby's blood and disembowl the family dog???

idrisz

As a male who was into typical male activities and goofing off as a child/teen, the female child's obsession with familial responsibility was always a bit baffling. Why would you want to idolize more responsible and organized older teens? I understood the desire for greater authority, but part of being a child is ignoring responsibility until you're forced into it by time and maturity, at least thats how I always saw it.

Not intended as a sexist remark, just an exclamation on how alien that viewpoint was to me when I was the age of those books' intended audience.

Also, we need to break down the babysitting double-standard a bit, nobody ever wanted to hire me when I tried to do it because I'm a guy. I know many teenage guys suck, and parents have to be cautious, but still. Who knows how many more SNES and PSX games I might have had, were it not for my gender keeping me from those fat babysitting monies ;)

Majesco is still AT LEAST decent shovelware, if there's such a thing

while Ubisoft is pumping out HORSEZ, BABYZ, BUNNIEZ, DOGZ, CATZ, or whatever they can pull out of their asses WEEKLY. I think their titles are about 50% of DS games

Why wait for the DS version? [www.bigfishgames.com]

I loved The Babysitter's Club, so yeah if I was 10 years younger... this game would be mine.

scarlet

OMG I always wanted to play this game! My mum said that I would learn to be responsible and have lots of fun while playing this game! Paying the developer to let me babysit toddlers to teenagers and learning to be responsible would be much more fun than spending $10 in a carnival shooting at said (insert toddler/teenager) into the water tank and laughing at them would be a total waste of money.

On second thought, I probably GET PAID TO BABYSIT A REAL TODDLER INSTEAD AND GET LIFE EXPERIENCE WITHOUT FORKING OUT A CENT

Banedon38

Ugh, I too read those books with a passion, daydreaming of an idealistic life.

When that failed, I went to video games. :P

@Sherlock_the_Barbarian: on the Wii

Kyle81

Next from this company should be an ass-wiping sim.

Sherlock_the_Barbarian

Dear Majesco,

Thank you for not helping the 'Videogames are *not* a babysitter' cause.

DarkTetsuya

*shifts uneasily*

I totally loved those books when I was a kid.

Rebochan

What do i do when i'm babysitting? play my DS, thats what.
so this is.... what? a game which lets me play my DS? does it features some kind of DS emulator? if so, then sign me up!

CitStream

@VileMethoD: It better or it's not the full experience.

Zeroriot

I can see the copy now: Features minigames that let you make long distance phone calls, send the kids to bed early and then sneak you boyfriend into the house for a little french kissing on the sofa. Rapdily tap B and say "No" into the microphone to reject his advances to second base!

Chickeninja

I LOVED the Babysitter's Club books as a kid. However, I hated the actual activity of babysitting and avoided it at all costs, much to my relatives-with-small-children's dismay. The best thing to come out of the Babysitting Mania game will be to keep people from EVER having children. Hopefully.

razorangelwings

I'm looking forward to the minigames that let me make long distance phone calls, send the kids to bed early and sneak my boyfriend into the house for a little frenching on the sofa.

Chickeninja

Does this game include the making out with your babysitter game as well?

VileMethoD

Cool, a game that lets you watch movies with kids and eat food out of their fridge.
