- I review another Carboot Bargain games system, this time the vtech v.smile for kids! I managed to get the first and second version of these for £3.50 and £4.00 respectively with 6 games between them!
NEWS: This console broke :( But dont worry, I made it into a fire-breathing Retro Arcade and media centre, my family loves it! You can make one too! Instructions:
• Ultimate vtech V.Smile...
The kids seem to love it and it keeps them away from my more prized consoles. Worth every penny!

I started crying when I heard the opening. Only 2000's kids will understand.
Omggg yes i had the dora version❤❤❤#2006
I played this when I was 6 and I had so many games I think that was in 2007 but definitely apart of my childhood
bruuuuh I had the little portable v smile with toy story with which I spent hours on end playing. Such great
Yeah man.
I was born 2007 I still played kt
I'm gonna cry this was my CHILDHOOD
MaiMunch i use to have it back when i was 3.
Frrrr
Fr!! I seen one in the thrift store and I was like “OH MY GOD I REMEMBER THIS!!” I’ve been trying to find games for it and I’m hoping it works.
If it does not work, keep hold of it, we will figure out how to fix it 😁
Me too minus the crying part
THE MEMORIESSSS
+iiLegitEthanii haha! Good ones I hope!
The Backoffice think you could do the Nintendo ds lite unboxing?
+iiLegitEthanii sure, send me one and I'll get on it 😂

Holy shit, I recognize that controller from a faint memory. Holy shit I think this was my first gaming console
+That Person With A MLP Icon Who Starts Flamewars It's a pretty good controller, I hacked one to work on PC 😀
That Person With A MLP Icon Who Starts Flamewars it was mine
Mine too
I played the DS then I played the v smart
I think I was around 3 but I sucked at canvas curse and mass attack and partners in time
That Person With A MLP Icon Who Starts Flamewars such happy memories with such a creepy ass man
If it wasn’t for instagram I would’ve never remembered what the name of this console was.
00's kids meme? Just saw something like that on Instagram too and that's why I'm here some deep memories just resurfaced from the depths of my memories.
OMG SAME
Same
Mustybutter?
Oh my GOD Alphabet Park Adventure is so nostalgic for me! I remember being scared of the hippos.
Finally someone who I can relate to
I Don't Like Drowning hahahhha
So much memories!
Same
Bruh imagine if Playstation, Nintendo, or Microsoft attempted to make a controller that could adapt to both left or right handed players, this was INNOVATION
i think they did all there controllers ask for the same level of dexterity from both hands for the most part
if you can smash a dpad with your left thumb you can smash face buttons with your right even if you reversed it your still doing the same motions
Holy flipping crap, the Alphabet game is much less exciting than I remember.
Dallior that’s only because he did the boring level
Omg right
He did it on eas
this was my first ever freaking video game console aside from the wii. (yes im calling it a console even though it's technically a toy) that nostalgia dude
I think it counts as a console, it's pretty impressive for what it is
Same! I remember spending hours playing Pooh Bear games - and I had both portables too, so I could bring my Pooh games on car trips! As a toddler I'd drag my plastic Pooh playsets to Grandma and Grandpa's for the family multi day festivities every holiday, then when I got this I could bring a much smaller digital Pooh playset!
it was bit of like Sega Genesis,Nintendo NES, Atari Before V-Tech created something like children game console.
Damn the nostalgia
+Radical gaming Haha, it's so nostalgic, it's rad 😂
I almost cry when I saw a picture of it on Instagram and I wanted to search it up buy bro this was my childhood 😭💓
That's awesome to find something you remember as a kid 😂
I had that exact model with the same versions of alphabet park and thomas. Awesome childhood memories
+PCFanatic look for one and relive those memories
+PCFanatic look for one and relive those memories
PCFanatic same bro
+Diego Oliva did you have any later computers?
PCFanatic i had the spiderman one and the finding nemo and scooby doo one lol thats all i can remember
This was literally the start of my gaming career..that’s what my mom said at least 😂
I loved the v tech intro I used to have a ino-tab which was a tablet for younger kids, IT WAS MY FAVORITE THING IN THE WORLD!!
Thanks mom. This was actually really fun. I remember playing spongebob and Winnie the pooh. THE NOSTALGIA I must say😌
I legit searched “purple and orange game console fo kid” to find this again. Such good memories I had with it.
ALPHABET PARK put me under so much stress as a 3 year old! I could never beat any of the levels.
You should give it a whirl now, I bet you would ace it 👍
Same here And I would get creeped out by the game aswell
That’s where all our gaming frustrations came from...😂
Oh my god this game, the sound effects, omg I’m reliving everything
The nostalgia hit when you hit the heart and it played the sound. I haven’t seen this game in over 8 or 9 years
AWWWW..... i remember this from when i was little ❤️
I haven’t played the vsmile in 12 years. To see this is such a flashback to simpler times and such a wave of nostalgia
OMG!! I loved Vsmile as a 4 year old. I remember playing Thomas the Tank Engine, Bob the Builder, Cars and Toy Story 2 on it.
+PercyAndTobyFan2002 - AngryThomasFan2002 It really kicks ass!
I remember playing Cars and Spider-Man and Whinnie the Pooh! And now I do remember playing alphabet park adventure! AAAAAHH I’M SO OVERWHELMED WITH NOSTALGIA!!!
Most of what I had for it were Pooh games - I never knew it had any others!
I played this day and night when i was a kid i loved playing this 😊 aww the memories
I used to have the exact same model when I was like 6, I'm 17 now lmao
+Andy Cccc I bet you are missing the awesome fast action of those games now! 😂
My childhood ,i use to play this while shopping with my parents
I had this when I was young the nostalgia almost makes me cry. Even though I forgot mostly everything about it.
I had a V.Smile home console, which I guess is the first-generation orange version. Apparently, that one broke. However, I've now got a second-generation pink V.Smile home console.
i’ve been searching for a looooong time for THIS EXACT VIDEO GAME. and the fact that you played it was so amazing
i had one
Nice! You should collect some :)
How to connect it do we have to insert batteries??
I’m 19 watching this for nostalgia sake and dude I wanna play this again SO BADDDD
BRUH!
IMMA TAKE A BREAK FROM XBOX IM FINNA GO GET MY V-SMILE
WHOS WITH ME?
This was my childhood watching this video is bringing back so many memories I had when I played that console
Wonderful! Nostalgia
Man i remember this System and i remembered how much i sucked at the games also funny thing both games you showed were the only games i had for awhile
I'm quite convinced to properly review all the games my kids have for this thing. Some are surprisingly good!
So glad a UK CZcams has V Smile videos these sounds give me flashbacks from being 4. I had Bob the Builder, Winnie the Pooh and Cars from what I remember.
I had Cinderella as well actually
Is anyone else watching this and being hit with all sorts of nostalgia from the animation and the sounds? No? Just me? Okay
People like avianne7800 and Winnie The Pooh, who have posted 5 years ago and 4 years ago respectively DID point out the nostalgic feels before this reply of yours 3 years ago. so NO it isn't "No? Just me? Okay"......3 years later!!
OMG I USED TO HAVE ONE OF THESE AS A CHILD! THE NOSTALGIA!
I still remeber these things. Probably before I went to pre school, I'm not quite sure. But I used to play that thing when I was younger. I mainly played The Wiggles but I also played other games as well. I even had the portable version. Oh, the good memories.
+KobeJaxxx I really need to dust this off and see what the other games are like. My kids prefer the Neo Geo arcade monitor I built now, but the vtech is more educational!
I barely remember the wiggles game but I had it
so many memories man , i played this when i was 4 years old and it was great af bro ... old god days ... great throwback ;)
+João Oliveira Thanks for taking the time to comment, glad you enjoyed it! 😁
i used the play this all the time when i was little. just that start up screen brought back many childhood memories
+Firecat productions 😀
Really brings back the memories when I used to play toy story in this
Wow the nostalgia is real.
Holy cow i played on this with my brother when we were like in preschool and we had the alphabet one and spiderman & friends and even just the sounds brought back huge memories. This stuff brainwashed me as a kid and I loved every second of it
Ha ha! Nostalgia 😂
Me and my friends were just talking about this😔 my childhood man I miss it I loved this thing mann🤣
It's all coming back to me, me and my sister played this all the time
Nostalgic mind-blow!
I had this exact game when I was about 4-6 and I played it every night. I don't know why, but I had a nightmare from one on the letters, and I was thinking about it for a little bit. Then I decided to do some research of the gaming console, and I found this video! Oh the memories this brings back😂 I miss being 4
+Genna Bergeron 😂 I often think about my old computers and consoles, it's funny how quickly the time passes!
Duuuudee, this brings back so many memories!
I don't remember any of the games, but I definitely do remember having this when I was about 3 years old.
Ah yes, I remember fighting my siblings to play this. We had a buncha the disney titles as well as winnie the pooh n scooby doo; why is this living rent free in the back of my mind?
Why do I remember this so well
I remembered having 5 games for this thing, such as barney, marvel kids, bob the builder, toy story, and thomas the train when I was 3. But my parents sold it later when I became 5 and as a replacement, my mom got me a Nintendo Gamecube. Such nostalgic memories :)
it's soon to be a retro classic! bet you wish you still had it, they probably sold it for hardly anything!
yup I had toy story too
Nostalgia at its finest. This was my first ever console.
+Mega Rayquaza Gaming Is a shame these are dying ☹️
Mega Rayquaza Gaming yo same
Back in the good old days o had a one of those i played sooo mutch shrek
I was OP at... spider man grocery shopping?
Let's be fair, Spidey has got to eat as well 😂
@@backofficeshow oh also the alphabet one gave me, like, Vietnam flashbacks.
I think that is what v.tech were going for, you are probably neurally programmed to be part of their global finding plan 😂
I had that one and the hand held one. 😢😭 MEMORIES !
Also, who here remembers the V-smile POCKET. I had that AND this too.
I played the V.Smile back in 2007, when I was in kindergarten.
Everyone just remembers the ps1 and 2 but this is where it all started 😂
All the nostalgia
Raza Ice 👍😂
Thanks so much for this video...I know it's a few years old but my daughter is 5 and wants a game system. This seems perfect for a kindergartner first game system.
That's a great idea, really kid friendly and no internet! It's a good combination!
This used to scare the shit out of me, I don't know why though
+TotallyRealKeyboard I'm not sure I have found any scary games on it yet, but some may exist! 😂
no, just in general, i dont know how
or, sorry dont REMEMBER how
I'm an adult and this v.smile thing creeps me out now.
+mimosa27 Not as creepy as their hacked internet devices!
I had this, and the pocket version too!
That was my childhood.
+EndieTV I need to find the pocket version, does it use the same cartridges? I guess it must.
Yes it still uses the same cartridges.
Omfg the nostalgia hit me harder then my mom
I had one of these. It stopped working and I was really sad. The Alphabet Park Adventure was my favorite game. When the characters popped up, I was like "they looked like that?" I clicken on another video and the characters looked different, which were the ones I remember.
I remember me and my sister's olaying this in my room having so much fun
I had allot of games when I was young :) I really liked Alphabet Park(But some stuff really creeped me out), Mickey, Nemo, WALL-E... But man Winnie The Pooh was so awesome.. Memories :D
oh god this was a huge part of my childhood
Played this when I was 2 years old! First console I ever had, and I miss it!
+Poka Master Plenty of them around to relive the old days! Feel free to checkout my other vids, there are a few VTech ones.
+The Backoffice Thanks. Caring about your audience earns subscriptions, and you definitely earned mine! I'll check out more of your videos. 👍
+Poka Master Thank you that's great. I only make these as long as there is value to someone, O just want to share knowledge 😄
A proper controller, this was. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I actually prefer that controller over some other ones that I've had nowadays...
It is surprisingly good for what it is
It's all coming back...
Thankyou!
If you don't count Stronghold on PC then this console was my very first gaming experience. I even had the handheld.
Serious throwback omg i rm playing this as a kid
OMG! I STILL HAVE MINE!!!! it's pink and purple! I had backyardigans game, alphabet park, elmo and noddy. UGH I LOVE IT
watch your head! Out of my way! - My favorite lines from alphabet park
My CHILDHOOD. I remember I played the CareBear, Dora and Spongebob ones a lot
+ZoLexa Hmm 🤔 I really need to get hold of the Spongebob cart!
There were CARE BEARS games for this? I only had Pooh and the non character ones that shipped with the system. Now I gotta dig mine out and get my paws on the Care Bears cartridges!
Thank you so so so much I am 18 rn in 2020 and this was my first ever gaming console when i was 5 in 2007/2008 and I only had the alphabet game and couldn't find the game becsue of the title not coorilating with the weird mechanical theme park. I've Google searched for "vtech v smile robot game" ect but could never find it until today what a throwback 13 years later wow. I have now been a very hardcore gamer my whole life I have a 6th place speed run of a level in super mario sunshine and I've played thousands of hours of games and designed game levels and so much stuff. I've made friends becsue of gaming, been at a minecraft contest with a friend group and just overall connected to others with gaming and it's been amazing. Thank you v smile for being my first ever game console I've come a long way it's crazy to finaly see my first game again and I want to play it but I wont becsue I wana save money but there will alwase be a love for my first game same for probebly most people. Also weird fact when i was 5 my dad let me use his gamecube and i tried to record my footage with a VHS camera for youtube in 2008 and i couldn't get the screen warp to go away but I might have accidentally made the first ever playthrough of a game on vhs to attempted youtube. Lol I was still just 5 so in my head i thought it was possible lmao.
reeeeeeeee
after watching this video, I looked around my house and I found it!
Excellent!
Omg soo many memories
I actually need to buy one, playing it would make my mind explode😂
spider man and friends secret missions was AWESOME
This was my childhood too!!!
i had this thing when i was younger that is so cool
I can't believe vtech made a whole fucking game console that you can only find at yard sales and goodwill
You are right, its the only outlet for this product!
I think it's cool that they made a console.
I loved this as a kid
Such a deep memory, I don’t even know if it’s real.
I used to have this as a kid and a gameboy/Nintendo DS clone version of it
Awe man miss it 2:13 miss that sound
omg I got this mean I was 2 years old, maybe?
I'm happy my memories is coming back.
This console hit me spiritually
Who’s here in 2019 remembering these day 😢
Omg I had one when I was little🥺😭 I might buy it for the memory my favorite game was whinny the poo
Oh god! Please stop blushing me and my childhood! DX
Alphabet Park was the first video game I've ever played XD
This was my childhood!!!!
I use to play these types of games all the time when I was younger
I remember playing Winnie the Pooh and toy story games on this😭
I LOVED this as a kid xD
I HAD ONE AS A KID OMFG. I think I had the Winnie the Pooh and Finding Nemo games. The thing I remember the most was thinking that a drop of water from a ceiling, can hurt someone. I thought this was stupid.
Maybe it was acid and not water 😁💦
Everyone together is here for the memories
+Rieley Hunt Great system!
I remember this. I still have it
+Cassidy Higgons Thats great, I started recording more videos of the games as my kids have a lot of them! Hopefully I cover a few you had and bring back some good memories!
HOLD UP! these still exist? my fucking childhood is quaking I'm buying one immediately
