Keep in mind that all V.Smile consoles can play every V.Smile, and V.Smile Motion game. This also applies with the V.Smile Motion console, and other V.Smile consoles excluding the V.Smile Baby.
Main Release[]
Pre-release Console[]
Due to the nature of this model, not much is known about it. The console's reset button on the left side of the surface was purple instead of orange, while some images shows the button as orange, but with the words reset not being on the button. A little behind where the Smartridge goes is a RAM Card which is not seen on the final product. The RAM Card slot had a dust protector for when the slot is not in use. The console's logo on the glass door where the games are stored is all yellow, instead of the standard of being in color, same can be said for the console's logo on the front. The controller's enter button uses a more crayon like font instead of the usual final one, and also is in yellow. Also in yellow are the three buttons found below the Enter button. The On text to the left of the On button says "Power On" which the final doesn't, and is a distance away from the button. The On button is a little more orange, with the Off button being more darker blue instead of the final's translucent Green, and Yellow.
The console's mascot known as Jumper (A.K.A V.Pal) seemed to have had a different design. Not only was he only seen on the console's logo on the door of the console, but he seems to have no limbs, resembling an open notepad, with possibly a different face.
There is a patent out there that shows this early design of the console including the unknown ram slot just before the Smartridge slot. Look more at this patent.
1st Generation (80-61220 US, 80-61225 French, August 4, 2004)[]
The first generation of V.Smile consoles had a reset button found on the top of the console, which in later revisions were removed or merged with the power button. The console could take C batteries, or plug in the wall with an AC Adapter. The system's storage container can store up to 6 games. Later revisions of 1st gen models removed a few things such as the reset button, and replaced the outdated C batteries with AA batteries, but is otherwise mostly the same. They released a special edition of the console in 2008 which was translucent, and had it's main colors switched. It came bundles with two controllers, and Alphabet Park Adventure.

The last console released in the original series, it has become smaller in size still retaining the two controller ports, and adding V-Link, but making the storage compacity for games in the slot only 4 instead of the previous 6 and 8. This version also has it's buttons not light up when the console is on, and removes the door for the game storage area. The controller also has it's colored buttons made smaller, and not light up, with the lower menu buttons under the enter button use a different design.
