Finally, a video game system that parents can feel good about! With children asking for video games at younger and younger ages, the VTech V.Smile TV Learning System makes kids and parents happy, combining entertainment and education with age-appropriate games. Designed especially for kids ages three to eight, this learning system even offers different levels of play, allowing the educational output to grow along with the children.

Kid-Friendly Features
With an included A/V cable, the pink and purple colored V.Smile learning system hooks up directly to televisions, requiring no additional equipment. Built for small hands, the innovative joystick controller adjusts to accommodate both right- and left-handed users and features four flashing buttons and an oversized enter button. The joystick even has a stylus and writing pad for writing activities to teach proper letter stroke order. With a spot for a second joystick, kids can invite their friends over for two-player game play. The V.Smile also comes with a microphone for sing-a-long fun.

Learning Made Fun
A unique alternative to other systems, the V.Smile is built inside and out with young children in mind. The games build skills in spelling, logic, counting, problem solving, phonics, and vocabulary. Kids have so much fun with the V.Smile that they don't even realize how much they're developing their minds in language, science and math.

The games -- called "Smartridges" -- feature popular favorite characters like Scooby Doo, Dora, Thomas, and Shrek. Each Smartridge includes four or five additional learning zone games aimed at improving specific scholastic skills. This system comes bundled with one Smartridge. A wide selection of games are available separately and are organized into three levels of educational play: Early Learners (ages 3-5), Junior Thinkers (ages 4-6) and Master Minds (ages 6-8). With this range of educational output, children can advance to new games as they learn and grow. The Smartridges play in both the V.Smile TV Learning System and the handheld Pocket V.Smile.

Great Educational Video game! - Reviewed on 2009-01-06

My daughter loves this. I love V Tech products and think this is great for younger ones to learn and they have different age groups and level video games so it can grow with your child for a couple more years.

Great concept...if it wasn't such a rip off... - Reviewed on 2008-12-06

What a great value, right? An awesome, educational game system that can keep kids entertained for hours while they learn... Only 50 bucks and the games are reasonably priced. It seems like such a deal! Too bad it doesn't come with a PLUG!!! We purchased this last Christmas for my now 4 1/2 year old step-daughter and she loves it. Because she loves it, we've probably wasted about 50 dollars on batteries in the last year. I decided to finally give in and buy an adapter. All the reviews said the vtech adapter is terrible so I bought a universal adapter. That doesn't work, either. So between the system, batteries, a power supply and games, I'm out at least $200 over the course of a year, and now I have a system that doesn't seem to want to power on at all. Of course, I already bought a bunch of new games for this Christmas, so now I don't know what to do with them. Save yourself some money and aggravation and buy a real video game system that at least comes with a PLUG!!! And by the way, I find all the people writing glowing reviews about how EDUCATIONAL this system is and misspelling every other word to be a riot.

Waste of Money - Reviewed on 2008-11-16

I bought this last christmas, for my 2 1/2 year old. I was very exicited about it, But what a joke, half the time it does not work, the graphics are horrible. The games are hard to figure out for kids in the 3 year old age group. My 5 year old niece also had a hard time with it. The kids get frustred while playing a game and graphics just black out. I would not recomand this toy to anyone. I have since bought leapfrog products way better.

This is our 3 system the first one that was out the handheld and now the pink. The first 2 were junk. We've had this for a year now and it's still working frankly I can't believe it. My daughter loves the note pad and microphone. Vsmile products are buy at your own risk.

I THOUGHT THE MACHINE WAS DEAD***THE GAMES WERE JUST DUSTY! - Reviewed on 2008-10-26

I purchased the V tech smile game and machine about 4 years ago. After 2 years it just quit. It wouldn't power on, it was just dead.

Recently I decided to purchase a second one as we have over 10 games. The machine worked for an hour and then it quit, again there was no power. In frustration I returned it to the store for a new one and the machine quit again after a few minutes of game play.

In all situations the systym would not turn on again after we changed games. I took a game cartridge and pushed it down to expose the hardware and I blew my breath on it several times. I inserted the game again, unpluged and repluged the cord and it worked again.

Sooooooooo what I realized was that my games were dusty and wouldn't play in the machine. I quickly blew on all the games and then every one of them worked. I got out my 4 year old game systym, plugged it back in and put in a new game that I had blown the dust off and it worked. The entire problem of the machine acting like it was dead was because the game cartridges were dusty!!!!! We do have to unplug and plug in the game systym to get it working again.

I have read that many people have trouble with the machine just dying without warning. I think if you just blow the dust off the games, unplug and plug the cord back in, then your machine will work again.

Big relief to me as we really enjoy the learning aspects of this game.
