V.Motion Active Learning System from Vtech
This educational gaming system is designed to keep kids aged three to seven amused and motivated for hours at a time. The system hooks directly to your TV and for each game, there are two control options. Kids can pick to use the joystick as a directional controller, or they can pick to use the motion of the controller itself. This means that tipping the controller left, right, forward, or backward inspires a corresponding motion on screen, letting kids get up and move around instead of staying stationary in front of the TV. One Smartridge is included and additional Smartridges, featuring classic characters like Scooby-Doo, Thomas and Friends, and Spider-Man, are sold separately.
