V.Smile Motion (also known as V.Smile V-Motion) was a predecessor to the V.Smile released 2008-12 (see proper date), and was discontinued in 2012 (again, check this year). It is more of a revision of the V.Smile, adding a new feature of Wireless controllers with motion controls, and as such is fully compatible with original V.Smile games, and motion ones, even having some games re-released on the V.Smile Motion such as Winnie The Pooh, and Soccer/Football Challenge.
Features[]
To add, maybe as a table?
Models[]
Not nearly as much as the original V.Smile, but it did have a few.

Accessories[]
Below are the accessories released for the V.Smile Motion, not counting re-releases of accessories from past V.Smile models.
V.Mic (Model #: ?, Year: ?)[]
This would be used with some games for sing along modes only accessed on consoles with a V.Mic connected. The Microphone itself had a button that would be held down to use your voice, and an LED light to indicate the status of the audio recording. Due to some consoles having this Microphone be connected with a 3.5mm aux cable, this can be replaced with any Microphone with supported output to 3.5mm aux cable. Because of this you can also use a microphone designed for previous V.Smile models.
