V.Smile

Background

The V.Smile (stylized as V.SMILE TV LEARNING SYSTEM) is an educational home video game console manufactured and released by VTech. Titles are available on ROM cartridges called "Smartridges", to play off the system's educational nature. The graphics are primarily sprite-based. Several variants of the V.Smile console are sold including handheld versions, or models with added functionality such as touch tablet integrated controllers or microphones. Licensed games for the system were released including games of characters from Disney and Nick Jr..

(2004-2010)

Logo: In a white background, we see an orange card (which is a reference to the V-Motion game card later in 2008). It spins rapidly and then it grows arms and legs. Later the white oval on the orange card grows a face and then it later jumps revealing the V.Smile logo.

Variants: There exists different language versions of the start-up in French, German, Italian, Castilian Spanish, Mexican Spanish and Chinese.

FX/SFX: CGI animation.

Music/Sounds: Some bouncing sounds followed by a giggle and the mascot saying "V SMILE!"

Music/Sounds Variant: International versions of the console would have a different voice for the mascot.

Availability: Uncommon. Appears after the VTech logo when starting up a V.Smile.
