Baerenbabys ('bear babies' in German) is one more variation on the pet simulator template that DS multiplied by the dozens: adopt a bear cub, feed it, play with it, and watch it grow through simple daily-care minigames. Its development targeted the German-speaking market, where this kind of simulator took particular hold.
It doesn't stray from the script set by titles like Nintendogs or Petz, but it found its audience among kids who preferred a bear to a dog. It is, above all, a niche entry within an already-saturated genre on the console.
